I actually had GC running time as a plus, to be honest. I hate hate hate long films, with few exceptions.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Thin Red Line took three hours of my life away that I will never get back, in addition to the amount of time I spend bitching about The Thin Red Line.

P-C, I love you. (Don't tell your mom!) What you said about The Thin Red Line is just about verbatim what *I* say about it.
(It works for Magnolia, too. Try it!)

I love Magnolia also. I've just broken my own rule, haven't I? SHIT.

I love The Thin Red Line (as I love all Malick movies). Just bought it on DVD.

If you watch TTRL as a nature documentary rather than a war movie, it's better.

Is TTRL one with Mel Gibson in it? If so, that's why I won't watch. He and Tom Cruise are on my "avoid at all costs" list.
I saw Kinky Boots this weekend. Absolutely loved Chiwetal Ejiofor as Lola. Dude can sing!

Corwood is me. Except that I've had it on DVD for a couple of years.

If he's in it, it's an insignificant cameo. I don't think he is. The only truly egregiuos cameo in it is John Travolta, and he's there for a minute maybe.
ETA: Gibson's not in it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Mel Gibson's Vietnam movie is When We Were Soldiers and it is a really good movie--not a big, three-hour time suck like TTRL.
