Another reason I don't like 'em is the brutality of it, why go to the movies to feel depressed? And yeah, I'm not one to sing praises for THL either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464052578606442132.post-71636100299958704862010-05-21T18:37:53.328-07:002010-05-21T18:37:53.328-07:00THANK YOU!

Their sole existence is to be depressing and boring, and I'm sick of my (ahem) contemporaries singing their praises. <br /><br />Excellent write-up, anyways.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085105568601878075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464052578606442132.post-37219416271099108122010-05-21T18:32:38.685-07:002010-05-21T18:32:38.685-07:00I'm with you on this.

Full Metal Jacket is a good exception though. As well as Rescue Dawn.blakecgriffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612666244388206101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464052578606442132.post-11525557518731669912010-05-20T12:12:23.930-07:002010-05-20T12:12:23.930-07:00You make some very compelling points.

I have a friend who loves these movies and sees all of them when they come out. Sometimes I tag along, other times I try to get out of it. On a side note, I have a friend who refuses movies that take place on boats. And another who refuses to watch Westerns. To each their own, I guess. At least you tried to make it through these even if they're boring.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Thanks for participating in the My Best Post Blog-a-Thon.

By the time they finally get to Ryan, I'm ready for bed. But then, I haven't watched many war films.Walter L. Hollmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636732594078157905noreply@blogger.com
