God I love me some Eric Bana. I wish he had more break-out roles. He started out good but then he sort of fizzled out. Loved the lone gunman role he played in Black Hawke Down. That was a great movie. This one looks interesting as well.
Can someone please answer this question for me; was that really his dong that we saw in Chopper?
Although it was a little flawed in places, The Time Traveller’s Wife absolutely destroyed me.
Much love for Eric Bana over here.
Count me in, I absolutely love Eric Bana! Finally a decent film with him, so excited!
Hulk was also a flawed movie. He made some really bad choices here and there, but he’s a really good actor.

My in laws all love that movie because it’s extremely accurate from a military perspective. I don’t think i’ve ever watched it for the acting or without commentary.
By all searching it seems it was never confirmed or denied the bar scene was Bana… So maybe… Maybe not!
Bye all that enjoy my posts and don’t. Off to Boston. Opa!
I don’t get why so many people hated TTW. It was one of the only romances I actually liked, personally.
I was so sad for that movie failing miserably because the book was terrific! Also, I kept having this feeling there is no real connection, chemistry, between the characters, like he was in his own movie, and Rachel McAdams in her own. She was too cutesy and he was too intense for her, just the acting chops differences I guess. She’s now starring in another time-traveling love story, About Time, don’t know yet what to make of the trailer, but should be interesting.
I’m an Eric Bana fan too. He had some momentum there for awhile with Troy, Munich, Hulk etc. I just don’t think he was able to find a leading man niche. Which is fine, not everyone needs to be a huge star. I’m glad he’s still gettting some good roles, especially after that trashfest that was Deadfall (even though I really, really wanted to like it).
His Southern accent in Black Hawk Down was so sexy, IMO.
@V4Real, I’m pretty sure that was a fake dong in Chopper. 😉
I just want to add that I too love Eric Bana. For the love of Bana!!
No.. It wasn’t his ding dong in chopper. It was a fake penis lol I very curious too.
Bana is the sexiest actor in HW, in my opinion. Bana should be getting some of the roles that Leo gets.
The world needs more Eric Bana (naked) in great roles (naked) with excellent directors (naked… Eric, not the director, unless he’s hot too).
Oh dang on the fake penis, I kinda thought it wasn’t real but a girl can dream, right?
Eric Bana is my absolute fav. The reason you don’t see him in more roles is that he only takes the ones that he wants to do, that will leave him time with his family. He is quoted as saying that he does one film a year and he takes his family with him. http://eric-bana.org/eric/quotes/
That, IMHO, makes him all the more sexy.
Saddness about Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe leaving Parks and Rec. I just started watching that show on Netflix and it has become my new favorite.
Me, too!
Ive been watching from the first season, and I LOVE it. SO sad they will be going, Rob is hilarious on the show, and I don’t know what Leslie will do without her sidekick Anne, haha.
I’m so sad too! I love every character on that show, I’m heartbroken 2 are leaving. Mostly because Leslie without Ann’s friendship is too sad.
Every once in a while I’m reminded that mark whalberg really can act.
Yup year of historical films. Like I said in the abscam thread there seem to be a lot more than usual.
Queen Zahara still has the best side-eye!
Lone Survivor just might save Taylor Kitsch’s movie career.
I hope so. He’s so delightful to look at.
+1
hawt.
I hope so too. I still have fondness for him from FNL and think with the right project, he could do quite well. And he is hot.
I think the studios just made the mistake of pushing a relatively unknown, mostly TV actor into 2 huge movies that weren’t that great and have very overblown budgets, and somehow it all came down on him when both flopped.
The book this is based on made me cry. I can’t imagine the movie.
The man dancing with his raccoon vid is awesome!! 😀
Eric Bana stole Troy away from Brad Pitt for me years ago. Was I the only one?
YES!!! I iniatially went to see it because for Brad (love him no matter what, don’t care 🙂 but when I saw Eric Bana as Hector, hubba bubba hubba! My jaws dropped to the ground and all eyes were on him thru out the movie!
I couldn’t get over that God awful bleached, blonde, and long hair. It was awful. I don’t care how pretty Brad is, some dudes do not look good with long hair, and he is one of them. I can’t wait until he cuts his hair.
Love Eric Bana in Troy, but c’mon, muscular, Brad in a skirt….yummy!!
Nooo, you are not the only one! Eric Bana was the centerpiece in Troy for me too. I rooted him and Brad Pitt felt just so empty compared to Bana. I really like his presence; I don’t know what it is but he has that certain “something”.
Eric Bana as Hector was perfect casting. He owned that movie! He oozed courage, sympathy, & sexiness just as the Hector in the Iliad. When his character dies the movie goes boring for me. I named my dog Troy after him because Hector sounded too human for my liking. Long live Eric Bana! 🙂
This! I am not an Eric Bana fan, but I think he was the only perfect casting in that movie!
Every time I read Michael Murphy’s MOH citation I cry like a baby.
Looks good. Solid cast. Ben Foster’s intense gaze does funny things to my lady parts.
That book, Lone Survivor, was so incredibly heartbreaking. It’s a great read if you want to understand what it takes to be a Navy SEAL. They pretty much kill those boys and bring them back to life. It makes enhanced interrogation look like fraternity hazing. I had a new respect for the military and the people in the Middle East caught in the middle of a battle that will see no end.
Teary eyed? please… I guess that only happens to Americans, who haven’t gone out of the US, and actually seen the world…
Well, I’m not an American but I think I understand if this trailer got someone teary eyed. Firstly I felt it was stylistically quite a moving trailer. Secondly, those soldiers are human beings in a very difficult situation (which they personally didn’t cause).
It’s definitely not easy there for anyone, regardless of nationality.
I resent your generalization, which is ignorant, although I agree that there wasn’t anything tear-worthy in this trailer (although it does look like a solid movie).
We’re having extreme raccoon problems lately–at least one has dug into our eaves and is living in the attic, but I’m thinking there might be some babies involved or some babies on the way for one to den up in an attic.
When it first started coming around, it was absolutely not afraid of anything I tried to do to get it to leave–if I shooed it with a broom, it tried to grab the broom away, etc. So we bought a trap and have been trying to catch the damn thing for 3 weeks now–it keeps outwitting me by changing it’s path and time of foraging or by figuring out how to not set the trip wire.
Last night, it set the trip wire, but still got out of the cage; I can only assume it did this by shaking the cage and digging the ground around it until it managed to work the door open–all I found in the cage this morning was a pile of dirt and grass with the wire tripped and the door down but not latched like it would be if something hadn’t manipulated the door. We can’t get the attic cleaned or the work done to fix the holes until we catch at least the mama raccoon.
Anyhoo, long story long, my friends keep sending me this video with the hillbilly guy dancing with what is obviously his pet raccoon to MY favorite Aretha Franklin song. One included a note asking if I planned to hire this man to lure my raccoon out. I have some really great friends. LOL.
Raccoons are evil geniuses, especially city raccoons who easily adapt to new obstacles. Good luck getting rid of them.
David Suzuki did an interesting documentary called Raccoon Nation. Check it out.
That popped up last night as a recommendation on Netflix and I almost spit my tea at the computer screen. It must be destiny–I probably should watch it.
lol
Maybe you shouldn’t watch it. It might discourage you. haha
I did think Cooper’s apology seemed sincere. He seemed embarrassed and emotional. I hardly ever accept these admissions/apologies from athletes because they’re always sooooo canned, but he seemed forthcoming and honest. What he did is unacceptable, but I do accept his apology and I like what Michael Vick had to say about it as well. Hopefully he learned something from all of this.
Good to see a film about the righteous Afghanistan conflict rather than the dubious Iraq one. Makes me wonder why Hollywood has wasted so much time and money on movies about the Iraq war. In hindsight it seems a no brainer that films about the war in Afghanistan would’ve done better at the box office.
What? The Afghani war hasn’t really done those people much favors either. Afghanistan is as screwed up as it ever was. Better than under the Taliban, but I wouldn’t call it the righteous conflict.
Totally. The US originally entered Afghanistan for oil pipeline reasons. The Taliban totally sucks but you didn’t see the US rocking up in Rwanda… Also they need to stop it with the bloody drones already.
Oh ya – and I’m saying this as a US citizen.
I will be watching this movie. I’m not big on these types but the cast looks solid as does the story. Plus there is lots (and lots) of eye candy 😉
Marky Mark, Speed Racer and John Carter all playing Navy SEALs. I’ll be crying all right…with laughter.
C’mon, Eric deserves a better cast than this.
lol – Mark Wahlberg looks like he should be teaching biology at a Vermont college wearing Birkenstocks and rocking a Phish bumper sticker on his car…
