I feel oblidged to make some sort of statement about the Football Game on Friday.
I dont know if any of you have seen Full Metal Jacket; I certainly havent, but I've read about it. Supposedly, it has the most startlingly different two halves of any movie ever made. The first hour is dedicated to the de-humanization of a few soldiers during Basic Training before they are shipped off to Vietnam. The second hour is what happens once they reach the battlefield, and from what i've heard, that's the point at which it looses it's momentum.
I dont think it'd be unfair to compare the film by Stanley Kubrick to my evening.
Brilliant first half.
Shitty second half.
Ultimately, a depressing experience.
