Just Saw Jake in Jarhead (SPOILER)
« on: March 31, 2006, 05:06:19 pm »
I just saw "Jarhead", and by "saw" I mean watched it at 8x speed.  C'mon, I'd never actually watch a movie about war in real time.  Uber-Super-Mega-Ultra Liberal here - what do you expect?

Jake looked extremely fine as a man-o-war.

Peter Saarsgard makes a very pretty corpse.

I give it two "make love-not war" thumbs up!

Jarhead is one of the best movies of the year, IMO! definitely worth the watch! Jake should have been nominated for that performance

Flash - you really should watch it at normal speed!  It's great and not pro-war. 

Anne Marie:  Do you have the collector's edition?  If so, def. check out the feature "Jarhead Diaries" - it's awesome.

Oops, forgot to put SPOILER in the title.  Hope you still get caught by surprise.  Watch it a 8x, and it won't matter.

Hey Nicole, I tried watching it at regular speed for the first 1/2 hour.  It pushed too many buttons...I get fatigued just thinking about loading it into the DVD player again.

Jarhead is the #4 Best Film of 2005 and should have been nominated for Oscars.....especially in Jake's case.....but we all know how dumb the AMPAS is so....

No - in fact, it's worse:  I HAVE IT ON VHS!!!!!

I am a cheap-ass and reserved it at the library months ago.  So it came in this week and I saw it wasn't even a DVD!!!  So not only doesn't it have features, but the picture sux (I watched a little last night but ended up on this dang board instead).

So I just decided I'm going to watch it since I have it and get the DVD afterwards.  So thanks for the tip - the collectors edition I will get!

That's too bad - I loved it.  As a super liberal I totally understand where you're coming from, but as it wasn't a pro-war movie it didn't bother me.
