i saw this movie last night and really enjoyed it. it was a movie about nothing and waiting for something that didnt happen. pretty rad that they extended an entire film around this. as oppose to something expected.

ha... was just waiting for Republican to step in here.
seriously.. do you just selectively scan PVN for comments re. american politics... or is there a "notify me of unpatriotic discussion" check box in my NT window that i'm unaware of?

What about just going to the movies to be entertained and stop over thinking everything?

i dont know what the movie was trying to depict...if it was trying to show the brutality of war, it didnt. if it was trying to show the psychological effects, it wasn't as good as a full metal jacket or even saving private ryan...i know they are all completely different wars--technologicall y advancements-- but still, c'mon

(Aug 24 05, 17:44)"you just hit the nail on the head.
war as entertainment
they should have a reality tv show of life in Iraq so we can be midlessly 'entertained' that way
being careful not to over-think of course ;)

I never heard a word about how we had no reason to be in vietanm after watching Full Metal Jacket.
In fact the drill sargent is the first thing that comes to most people's mind. They get a laugh out of his lines and make soundboards with it. Never had a heard or read a protest about it.

It got mixed reviews. Most men seem to like, and women seem to dislike it (b/c of the way it portrays the army portraying women, which could be true, but it's still really negative), and then there are ppl who are offended by it.

I'm hoping it isn't too bad, b/c Sam Mendes (the director) is married to Kate Winslet, and I like her. Hahaha, I'm such a weirdo.

We're working on TV spots for Jarhead. It's really good. That's all I'm not allowed to say.

The militant angle Yankee entertainment is taking is scary. No less than six shows dealing with CIA/Pentagon/counterterrorism premiere this fall.

"What’s the difference between Bush and Saddam?
Sheik Ahmed Yassin, Osama Bin Laden Or Idi Amin
Fidel Castro
It seems to me they on the same team.
They hate only lead to innocent blood streams
If it’s so important
To fight for mankind
Well I don’t see none of they kinfolk
Out there on the front line."
