I hope to see this movie this week.

America is a raw, open wound and we are finally getting a glimpse of it.

I left a little early when the theater was still dark, just before the lights went on because I was snottering a bit and I wanted the people to think that I had a full bladder.

The firestorm over this film is absurd. I Think of the scores, hundreds of films from the 40s, 50s, 60s, about American heroes that I grew up watching. Can you imagine if someone put down Chesty Puller the same way these nibs today are putting down Chris Kyle? They’d be thrown out of the theater into a gutter to cool off. And rightly so.

At the end – during the final credits when most moviegoers usually leave (and while actual footage of Chris Kyle’s funeral procession played out on the big screen) – viewers sat in respectful silence.

Well, to be fair, the credits were a little different than typical credits. They had two parts. During the first, the credits were displayed over images of Kyle's funeral and felt somewhat like a continuation of the movie. The audience I saw the movie with stayed through that part. Then the images ended, the screen went black, and rest of the credits rolled, at which point the audience left.

Just got back from seeing it. Very well done and very respectful of an American Hero. I’ll admit I got a littler choked up at the end. The theater was very quiet at the end.
