Buzz Aldrin blasts Neil Armstrong biopic First Man for not showing the planting of th

It was the entire point.

That is exactly right. It was a big "$#@! you" to the Soviets.

I would list this ridiculous hullabaloo as the last very item on my list of things we should be concerned about in this country. #3,981

We should not watch the movie. Let Hollywood go broke.

Had I been in charge of the movie, I'd have definitely included a scene showing the planting of the American flag. But I didn't make the movie, and neither did any of you. I'm simply stating the plain fact that to say that the non-appearance of that scene makes this a bad movie - something that should be boycotted and trashed - is ludicrous.

It doesnt make it a bad movie in the sense of production, talent and direction. What it does make it is a agenda driven movie that evades the true meaning and history of the lunar landing as a Major "AMERICAN" accomplishment.

The movie admittedly omitted a true part of history, the planting of the American Flag for political expediency

And you are wrong.

Hollywood needs to be boycotted until it is dead.

Absolute nonsense. This is a great example of what might be termed "reverse-PC" - although, actually, just as so-called "reverse racism" is really just racism, people who get all snowflakey and upset because something isn't said or done precisely the way they want it to be are every bit as guilty of PC behavior as anyone else. Think about it; if a flag-planting scene had been included in the film and there had been objections to that, would you take those objections seriously, or would you think those people were being ridiculous? Sorry, guys...but silly, petty and overly sensitive knows no Party or ideology.

This is your best effort at logic, that if the movie had tried to be honest in it's coverage of it's topic other people would whine and that would be the same thing?

OF COURSE the whiners would be ridiculous to cry about the depiction of an actual event as it actually happened.

Canuckistan has put as many men on the Moon as Pakistan and Trashcanistan combined, I agree. Nobody will deny that.

That does not make what the UNITED STATES DID, and did ALONE, a "shared triumph" for the rest of the world.

$#@! the world.

[Sergeant Gleed]

People who object to either the inclusion or exclusion of a single scene from a movie they haven't even seen yet and therefor have no basis for judgment about are being ridiculous.

So, when a movie leaves out the most important aspect of the event, people who object to the omission are..."ridiculous"?

What if someone made a movie and left out the scene where Johnny Mapleseed planted little Canadian flags all over the place?

LYING about the purpose of the mission makes THE ENTIRE FILM A LIE.

So clearly there's no point in spending money or time watching it.

[Captdon]

More anti-American Hollywood liberalism at play. I wouldn't see this movie for free.
