    Damn. The "Life Aquatic with Steve Sisu" reboot is dark.

    Honestly, I thought this might be about Simo Häyhä, aka The White Death.

    Simo Häyhä (Finnish: [ˈsimo ˈhæy̯hæ] (listen); 17 December 1905 – 1 April 2002), often referred to by his nickname, The White Death (Finnish: Valkoinen kuolema; Russian: Белая смерть, romanized: Belaya smert’), was a Finnish military sniper in World War II during the 1939–1940 Winter War against the Soviet Union. He used a Finnish-produced M/28-30 (a variant of the Mosin–Nagant rifle) and a Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun. He is believed to have killed over 500 enemy soldiers during the Winter War, the highest number of sniper kills in any major war. Because of this he is often considered as the deadliest sniper of all time.[2][3][4][5]

    Häyhä estimated in his private war memoir that he shot around 500 Soviet soldiers.[5][6] The memoir, titled Sotamuistoja (War memoirs), was written in 1940, a few months after he was wounded, and described his experiences in the Winter War from 30 November 1939 to 13 March 1940. Hidden for decades, the memoir was discovered in 2017.[5]

    I think it goes without saying that there aren't any plot spoilers in the trailer

    I’ve mentioned this here on the BBS before- my grandfather was pure blooded Finnish (I know now from genetic testing that there’s a lot of Swedish in there but it’s not surprising since they’re right next to each other). He used to talk about Sisu a lot and said I had it since I was a stubborn kid that wouldn’t quit what I was doing no matter how many times I fell or lost or whatever.

    So it’s a lot like ‘@sshole’ but in a good way.

    I mean, I watched the trailer and I said to myself "Meh, doesn't look good." Glad to know my action instincts are still sharp.

    I pretty much have no idea what you just said, and yet I feel the need to agree with you. I like action….but not at the expense of character development. Not every movie can be mad max fury road. Granted, I haven’t seen the film, so my opinion is even more irrelevant than usual.
