    Shows what I know. I enjoyed both. Strictly out of an escapism factor, of course. I'd say both were better than I was expecting them to be.

    Oh, I dunno if they don't want to see a war film, necessarily. They don't want to see the ones that have been made. Jarhead did quite well, as I recall.

    The modern audience - 19-30 year old guys - don't want to see thoughtful war movies. And by "thoughtful" I mean: Thinking is done in them. Or any kind. They watch Full Metal Jacket and get off on it, or they fast forward to the "me so horny" scene and laugh like the cultural idiots they are. This is a culture that heartily embraces the Saw series, which is dehumanizing and disgusting.
     
  3. Dark Knight and Fred Claus.

    Wanted more Heath Ledger/Joker -- in both flicks.

    Seriously, Giamatti's kid was a funny Santa; dude can act.

    I could see how in the right frame of mind Stepbrothers could be funny. But Jesus, it's a tough sell to think that two guys that age could act like that.

    If it was James Franco and Seth Rogan in the rolls, or tow very young actors, it would have been much better.

    I thought Stepbrothers was very funny. I expected to hate it.

    Hancock was OK, but the ending was bad.

    How mammals who stand on two legs can pay Yankee dollars to see Saw (Anything) is beyond my comprehension.

    Just watched "Choke" which is based on one of Pahlaniuk's books with Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston.

    Very good, but dark film. I don't think it was ever in wide release in the US.

    Piece of work, wasn't it?

    Could you imagine an adaptation of "Guts?"
     
  11. Huge fan of that movie. WHT to the kid William?

    He's been in a few things. Last season he starred in an episode of "House".
