I saw Reservoir Dogs, and heard that music. I was nearly ready to beg someone to cut my ears off by the end of it.
Hmmm, no mention of the superb Paths of Glory. I wonder why.
Word for the day

Good job
“the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) in which the computer HAL, the picture’s only really human character . . .” - vintage Steyn.
Peter Sellers had more than a “cameo” in Lolita.
I loved Full Metal Jacket, well..... at least the first part. The Vietnam part I thought was just another trite superfluous war story that I’ve seen in many other movies. If he would have just made the movie about boot camp during the Vietnam era and stuck to that, the ending would have been perfect. I won’t tell the boot camp ending here just in case there is someone who has not seen the movie, but I felt it was shocking and ending on that note it would have been the ultimate tribute to nihilism. The ending credits song could have been ‘War’ by Edwin Starr....
War, huh what is it good for?
Absolutely nothing,
say it again...
