This movie can kiss my cornhole >:. It could have conveyed it's cliched message in a shorter time by showing an endless loop of Oliver Stone sitting in a chair saying "boy i hate vietnam!" It would have been just as boring as Platoon >:

I would post that picture with an annogrammed title from SomethingAwful, but then I'd be a tool. :/

It's no Full Metal Jacket, but it still beats Hamburger Hill

Hamburger Hill wasn't bad I thought. I saw it a few years ago, but I remember it being alright :(

Apocolypse Now Redux is awesome, as long as you fast forward to the best parts, like the Air Calvery attack w/ a side order of napalm.

Or the end, after the cajun guy's head was deposited in Sheen's lap.

People who fast forward through movies are cunts through and through and I'm not saying that because damnthatdavid is already a known cunt or that I want to defend the movie.

The only movie I've fast-forwarded through is The Patriot with Segal, and that was because I knew I'd understand the whole movie if I did. And I did.

So I agree with Gadzooks.

Having seen the entire Redux version through a couple of times, I have completed my quota of watching the long ass trip through the river scenes. I no longer need to watch the tiger in the bush, or the trippy lost dog scene. They have grown stale.

I only fast forward through movies that have a length greater then 2 hours.

platoon is the movie equivalent of being poked in the eyes and kicked in the balls at the same time

So it's Three Stooges in the Army? :lol Sounds Fun!

DamnthatDavid
Jan 29th, 2005, 04:42 AM
The 3 stooges never resorted to kicking each other in the nuts.
So it was nothing like the three stooges, idiot. >:

As I was saying before, in terms of 80's to 90's War flicks, with the best being Band of Brothers, and the worse being Windtalkers or Pearl Harbor... Platoon rated just below Operation Dumbo Drop, and just above Hamburger Hill.

I kind of liked Platoon, if anything Tom Berenger and William Defoes performances are enough to watch the movie for
