“The Hurt Locker”
[Steve Sailer]
>> "You should definitely pay the extra dollar or two to see it in a state of the art movie theater with full sub-sonic audio system. Then, sit in the back row because you’ll get what you pay for: this story of insanely courageous U.S. Army bomb-disposal guys in Iraq is loud.
I’ve loved director Kathryn Bigelow, who is like a 6′-tall real life
version of one of James Cameron’s butt-kicking babes (she’s one of
Cameron’s countless ex-wives), since 1991’s “Point Break,” which
featured a hat-trick of Hollywood’s most cerebral-looking leading men
— Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, and Gary Busey — as surfing
bankrobbers.
Bigelow’s shtick is a little like Patti Smith’s or Chrissie Hynde’s in
rock music a generation ago: being an admiring but slightly astounded
outside observer of masculinity at its most unhinged."<<

So have you seen the movie? (I have.)
Do you have any opinions about it? (I do.)
If you haven't seen it, there no reason to start a thread about it
unless you are asking for opinions. Schmuck.
Shhhh! I'm Listening to Reason!

Why does Bratzi need an opinion of his own when others tell him what
to think?

Aside from that, have you seen it? I think a military man like you
would really dig it.

No, I haven't. I haven't had a lot of spare time the past few weeks.
