So Meteor Blades absolutely hated "Selma," right?

He quotes with approval, apropos of The American Sniper, this.

After watching the movie “American Sniper,” I called a friend named Garett Reppenhagen who was an American sniper in Iraq. 

He deployed with a cavalry scout unit from 2004 to 2005 and was stationed near FOB Warhorse. 

I asked him if he thought this movie really mattered. 

“Every portrayal of a historical event should be historically accurate,” he explained. 

"A movie like this is a cultural symbol that influences the way people remember history and feel about war.”

Maybe he was OK with Lincoln.
