Casca…

Steely-eyed, yes. Heartless…hell no.

I presume you are a Marine. I am not. My respect for Marines is endless.

Nigel, I assure you that any Marine worth his salt is more than happy to be depicted as a steely-eyed killer by whomever.

I thought she was a Paris Hilton look alike.

My favorite parts were the ACLU shootout, and the plantation scene.

I must say Nigel, if the Marines enjoyed it and the Jr. College lecturers didn’t the movie was a smashing success.

And Beej, amen to that.

the typical attendee was going into menopause around the time Lloyd Bridges picked the wrong week to stop huffing glue. Perhaps it was because of the way the movie was promoted on conservative radio. Sean Hannity did do some live-spot commercials for it.

Perhaps it’s for the same reason they’re the most faithful voters. They’re supporting the cause whether they want to see the movie or not. God help us when they’re gone.

I also enjoyed the movie, though I also had to trek about 20 miles away to see it.

But fortunately the theater I did see it in was adjacent to MiraMar MCAS…so there were plenty of Marines in the audience…men and women who I am sure are sick of being depicted as heartless killers in every other Hollywood movie referencing the military.

One couple walked out during the Columbia University scene (filmed I might add at my Alma Mater, UCLA)…but methinks they were Junior College teachers. They had “the look”.

Something else I took away from the movie…a new found respect for Paris Hilton. Yeah, I know…that chick will go anywhere and do anything for some publicity…but appearing in An American Carol has earned her a reprieve from calling her a stupid, spoiled whore for at least the rest of the year.
