I LOVE this. When Chris and I started talking about getting me a signon I told him I wanted my picture (which I now know is an Avatar) to be Hello Kitty. He said no way. Funny how things turn out.

Hey CigDaze - What do you mean by that?

Good morning. The avatar looks good on you.

I presume you refer to this little tidbit:

Poor guy. We'll make up for it in Miami this weekend.

Having been married for a little over 10 years now, I know full well what it's like being subjected (tortured with) such movie as the ones which you have mentioned, he will most certainly need a couple days of Tim Taylor-style grunting "more power" whilst gleaning the vast display of bad-azz boats in Miami.

Go ahead - "ChiefApache" has my back and will get me right back on.

You tell 'em Felicai!

When I saw that yesterday I had to copy it and get it on here for you. Figured between Nick or Chris they would be able to help you out!

We were having a discussion about this the other night and I kind of had a revelation, especially since there is a controversy around it now. I think the whole premise behind the movie is as an anti-war flick. It develops the characters and generally makes the soldiers look good and just, but then shows a war that is basically futile, un-winnable, dangerous, and unnecessary. This is in line with the left's now-normal anti-war rhetoric that they learned after Viet Nam. Say that you are for the troops, but against the war. It didn't dawn on me while I watched it, but when a buddy said he didn't understand any of the movie it made me think more about it.

Good movie but not a movie like Full Metal Jacket that you could watch 10+ times.... Main character seemed to be having "A Beautiful Mind" moments towards the end!

Didn't get that impression.

Good flick. Loved the scene with the Barrett.

I suspect the dust would have killed their vision. Everytime the gun fired the dust blowback would have S U C K E D! I would have rather been the guys in the house/hut.......until the end, you know the very end......
