Apocalypse Now

[El Duderino]

I just watched this movie for the first time last night on IFC and personally, i think it's just fantastic. The acting was great, the directing was great, the screenplay was awesome. what do you guys think of this movie?

[Pubrick]

what do u mean when u say "the directing" was great?

[El Duderino]

i mean Francis Ford Coppola did a good job.

I thought it was pretty boring and the best part was the ending when Brando's character made his appearance.  The confrontation was classic.  I know this opinion will probably be quite unpopular, as most people think the journey there through the film is brilliant, and the ending is the letdown.  I have yet to see Redux in its entirety, though I have seen some of the plantation scenes, and they definitely look intriguing.

i have yet to see the original and it's editing, i saw the redux.

I'm surprised you didn't mention how hot the playboy chicks were in your review.

you're totally right...i love when they rush the stage. but seriously, during the sex scenes, they're so hot. "susie q" is still in my head

sorry to beat a dead fat man here, so do u mean he did a good job putting the shots? telling ppl what to do? having a vision? telling the actors what to do? eating? shaving?

what i'm implying here is "the directing was good" doesn't mean anything.

the choice of shots that FFC chose, some of them were just perfect. I think eating he's had enough of and shaving (from what production stills i've seen) seems to be out of the question.

pointing out a spelling error to NEON is like saying Duderino replies to everything.

saying Pubrick isnt an asshole is like saying Pubrick hates Bjork.
