Now, stop talking and save gas.


Anybody notice that it's the plot from "Three Kings"?

Morons.


Which of course was a less-than-first-rate remake of Kelly's Heroes, a
really terrific movie that in addition to a plot and lots of truly funny
lines and scenes had Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Carrol O'Connor, Don
Rickles, Donald Sutherland, and Harry Dean Stanton.


I didn't like either move actually.

I thought they both sucked.

I liked and still like Kelly's Heroes. It is a pretty funny anti-war
movie. Of course, I also liked Dr. Strangelove and The Mouse that
Roared, the latter probably the funniest anti-war movie ever.

The world view of the United States sure has changed. In "The Mouse,"
the premise was that if you warred with the United States, after you
lost, the Americans would come over and rebuild your country and your
economy, ala Germany, Italy, and Japan. Nowadays, we just send over the
corporate looters.

I thought MASH was funny in an odd way - the movie that is. The TV
show never did much for me.

i really wasn't a fan of Kellly's Heros. it could have been pretty
good, but I thought Sutherland acted too much like a stoned out
hippy.

never did see "mouse" but I did like Strangelove and outside of
classic comedy movies like No time for Sergeants, My favorite would
probably be Catch- 22.

Catch-22 ... Speaking of corporate looters!

Me either, When I saw Mash, it was doing a double feature with Patton.

Strange combination.

You think that everything sucks. Must be hell going through life not
trusting anyone or anything, constantly being negative, hating
everything and everyone.
