It looks like a cross between Michael Caine and Stephen Baldwin.
Yeah I got nothing, but was thinking the same thing.
Yes. A mediocre 2016 release about the Spanish Civil War and the infamous bombing of Guernica. Starring Jarvis the Butler from MCU, along with Commodore Norrington doing his best Scott Glenn impersonation. It also stars the utterly gorgeous Maria Valverde.
But, yeah, this trailer alone is laughably bad
80:80
Yes, watching it was not time well spent if you wanted either a gripping plot with interesting characters and fine acting and/or good history in film.
New twenty up in a bit.
This is a long one, and one of my all-time favorites. It’ll probably go quicker than you can say Jack Robinson.
The Twenty:

The Sand Pebbles?
Based on the dude on shore with the conical hat and all those seamen spilled across the deck.
I think you nailed it, and the uniforms with shorts as well.
So aside from the fantastic Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack and Robert Wise’s direction, this film has , even the smaller supporting parts, some of the best performances on film all these actors ever gave.
I used to own this on an old double VHS. I’ve seen it literally over 30 times. As I grow older, it resonates with me more and more.
The Forty:
“If you let me run that engine room the way I’m supposed to, Sir I can give you 12 Knots!”
The Sixty:
“To get away. they wanted me to be a missionary too.”
The Eighty:
“What’s he doing ashore?” “I send.”
The Hundred:
“Brand new fresh goods untouched by human hands!”
The One Twenty:
The San Pablo sits, bottled up all winter.
The One Forty:
“Mr. Bordellas, make all preparations for getting underway.”
The One Sixty:
“Holman will be the Senior Petty Officer.”
Poor Quality, but:
“I was home. What happened? What the hell happened, @Djscman!?”
I haven’t seen anything she’s been in before, but was immediately struck by those frames. Wow.

Well, I don’t want to break nobody’s rice bowl, so here’s the next 20:20:
I’m not sure if anyone will get this, but a lot of you guys have a knack for obscure flicks…
FUCK STAR WARS THE RETURN OF THE JEDI
Did I get that right?

I, too, would utter an exclamation of pleased surprise and joy! It is Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi.
This is from the non-special edition DVD, so your timecodes with the Jedi Rocks number may be off.
Here’s the grieving 40:40:
and the 60:60 with Warwick Davis’ acting debut opposite Debbie Reynolds’ daughter:
the 80:80 with the Man in Black again:
Thank god, finally a spaceship in the 100:100
And some yub nubbin’ in the 120:120
You’re up, Wool. With or without the “Fuck Star Wars” beret.
Oh god, can we go back to grampa movies instead?

Ya know, @tomchick, Return of the Jedi is pretty much a grandpa movie by now. If you saw it in the theater in 83, odds are you’re dead, a grandparent, or biologically old enough to be a grandparent.
Meanwhile, 40:40
