HEY!!! Gascon's signature came from the same place as mine. RIGHT ON G!!! ------------------ The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
davo- "Apocalypse Now" was never intended as a realistic Viet Nam movie. Coppola used Joseph Conrad's novel, Heart of Darkness as the basis for the film. He even had the same title character (Kurtz) and substituted Viet Nam for the Congo of the book. Having said that, "abstract junk" is as good a description as any. ------------------
RM95, rockHEAD, mc mark and Pole Can you guys help me out with Apocolypse Now! It was heralded as being so good, and so many people like it, that I want to know what I'm missing. I've watched it a couple of times and I just can't seem to appreciate it - in fact, my current assessment would still be "abstract junk". I asked my two people I know who were in Vietnam (one of them Special Forces) what they thought of the AN, and both said that it was unrealistic, and that Platoon was a much better representation. Help me out here. ------------------ Maybe all the rulers are wrong. Current Rocket's Salary & Contract Info
