I'm sorry, but unless I can illegally download this movie from the web after it comes out, I'm not watching it. He shouldn't be getting any more press.

He shouldn't be getting any more press.

I agree. We talked a lot about his scenario and the Deepwater Horizon the last 9 days in GMDSS class. He is making him self out to be a Hero that the uneducated public believes wholeheartedly.

And THAT is the magic of both Hollywood and Washington! PT Barnum was right.

The "last 9 days in GMDSS class". That's and interesting comment since the class is only 10 days long, some might just say "the whole class". That's kinda like saying, "no, it wasn't a bad year, just the last 364 days!"

He is making him self out to be a Hero that the uneducated public believes wholeheartedly.

And I want to be in the movie regardless. I can vomit in outrage off camera and still get in a major movie. Hell yeah!
