Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
A film about Manfred von Richthofen! Great idea! Von Richtofen and a CGI beagle wearing Doggles dogfight (get it?)!!!
I really don't like the title "Flyboys." I wish they'd called it "The Escadrille" or something. "The Hat in the Ring Gang" would be a great name for a movie, but that's a different group.
you see so much of Richthofen's plane (maybe the most recognizable aircraft of all time)
So help me - any discussion of Richthofen puts me in mind of Snoopy and his continuing saga against the Red Baron.
As DXM notes, they didn't call them the Flying Circus for nothing.
He's not pining, he's passed on. This is a late flyboy! He's a stiff! Bereft of life he rests in peace! If you 'adn't nailed him to the cockpit he'd be pushin' up the daisies. He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir immortal. This! Is an ex FLYBOY!
Beautiful plumage paint job...

Yeah, "Flyboys" evokes the World War II era to me more than WWI. Hey, why not just call it "Wings," which was about WWI fliers. They reuse famous old titles all the time.

Because the people expecting Thomas Haden Church and Tony Shaloub would be wicked disappointed?
On the other hand, the people fearing Stephen Weber and those other people would be wicked relieved.
You mean they'd actually attend the movie anyway?
Dragged along by their Weber worshipping SO.
No wonder I'm still single.
