amezriJust watched discs 2 & 3 of the Black Hawk Down Deluxe Edition. I recommend it to fans of the film. Lots of docu stuff and background about the whole mission. The interviews with the cast are great. I especially like the retrospective bit at the end of disc 2 where the cast talk about how the movie changed their view of war or how they hope people will view the film. I'm probably going to rewatch and jot some of them down. Basically, most of them expressed the idea that Americans should see this film and realize that people die and war and it's not just the squeaky clean stuff they show you on CNN. One of the actors had said something like this event in Afghanistan changed American policy about going into other countries and the next time if we want to go in and meddle or try to depose a dictator, we better be damn sure that's what we want to do.
Uh. This was obviously filmed before Iraq (and 9/11). *cough* As Ewan said, "War is shit."
Just got "Titus" and "Plunkett & Macleane" in the mail. Bloody Shakespeare, Robert Carlyle, Alan Cumming, Jonathan Rhy Meyers, and Jonny Lee Miller. Woohoo! May watch thoe later tonight after the Movie Awards.
Elijah reads a storybook! His farewell at the end was cute. They have several other stories there, another is read by Sean Astin :) His is kinda patronizing, but I suppose it's 'cause he's reading to a 4 year old. *snerk* But.. he has props!
A quirky video set to David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans" It's quite fantastic, especially the credits at the end where the author states "And anyone else I stole images from without permission. Bush invaded Iraq without permission. Fuck off."
