Intermission
"All glory is fleeting." You bet your ass it is. This weeks Man's Movie is Patton. While Francis Coppola got an Oscar for the screenplay - - I think this is the actor's movie. The Blue Ray version is a knock out and these crappy pictures, save for one or two, don't even come close.
It's a long movie and Coppola's commentary is great although his thick voice and accent really grate on me after a while. Still, it's a thinking man's war picture. Not as eclectic and anti war as Kirk Douglas in Path's of Glory but nuanced just enough so that yahoo's avoid it.
Are you exhausted of the military stuff? I force fed you a lot this week and for that I apologise. Next week will be a little different. It's not gonna be Noel Coward week or anything like that but we'll try on something different for a change.
