Robert, I only intended to post something I had remembered from a few years ago that I thought might give HTF members a chuckle. Please just move on...
Seems like a silly thing to even bring up but...
I didn't say anything about 13 Hours giving me a remembrance, I said it was reading this thread that did. We had been discussing Pearl Harbor and Michael Bay.
Reading this thread reminded me of Roger Ebert's perfect opening to his review of Pearl Harbor:
"'Pearl Harbor' is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle."
