The VN segment was utter shit, no doubt about that.
Didn't help Stanley Kubrick wouldn't leave England for fear of flying and this supposedly from a director famous for his attention to detail. Yeah because fir trees dominate the skyline of Vietnam :fp:

Didn't the palm trees come from Spain? I remember vaguely one scene fought in what appeared to be an abandoned industrial complex. Not the terrain I was looking for in a movie about Vietnam. (Apocalypse Now was filmed in the P.I., so at least they got close.)

I feel the same way about Law and Order:Criminal Intent when Vincent D'Onofrio isn't on.

I didn't realize D'Onofrio was as big as he is until I connected up his performance in M.I.B. And I agree with hadespssurcats, Law and Order Criminal Intent just isn't worth watching without Goren and Eames.

So, is D'Onofrio an aspie in L&O?

No, but he's socially strange. His character's mother is schizophrenic. My sense is his relationship with her fueled an interest in abnormal psychology which he applies with great success to his work, catching criminals and making them confess.

J and I don't even refer to his show Law and Order-- we call it "Vinnie D."

And Katherine Erbe is the perfect Watson-- tiny to his towering, tough and down to earth to his dreaminess, daughter of a cop...

I never watched Avatar when it came out in the cinema, owing to a monumental disinterest in space smurfs. I've just seen 3 minutes of it on the telly and it looked like a slightly more expensive episode of Pokemon. Total shite.

It has a plot almost identical to Dances With Wolves. Seeing three minutes' worth is probably better than watching the whole thing.

Great insult from the detective movie Harper with Paul Newman. Some character is threatening Harper (Newman), saying "If I wanted to get ugly...", and Newman interrupts him with "You are ugly!"

I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Best fight scene ever. I got chills.
