    jeebers ... watching that 'thin red line' toob had me tearing up all over again. if you guys haven't seen it, find yourselves a spare 3 hours and a box of tissues. best war movie ever made, and then some. really extraordinary thing ... a dead set masterpiece. chock full of famous peeps who barely say a word (which just makes it more delicious). sublimely rendered contrast betwixt WW2 and the beauty of the people and places it was sometimes fought. and then the reverse, done with such high art that you can't cry foul, no matter how morally outraged by this you are.

    those beautiful child men and their terrible deaths ... redemtion .... light .... magic. incredible fucking movie. sniff sniff.

    Music - it had to be general enough to cover all spectrums.
    I'm having a Foo Fighters Friday. No clapping chorals for me!

    I typed the above (and somehow got lost youtubing Dave) before reading your bit.
    Can't do those horrible realistic war & devastation type shows. Watched a bit of Blood Diamonds the other night - set in Africa - revolutions, killings, general disrespect for human life. I wasn't fond of baubles before, but would never buy a gem after seeing it. Atrocities galore.

    bauble free zone here, too.

    but yeah nah, TTRL isn't your typical war fillum. abstract and uses metaphor and such. still, it's war. best steer well clear.

    gotta fly. conjuring cake-age for peso raising stall at school polling booth. you know how that goes. folding those friggin boxes ...
