Whenever the preview for this film comes on, Mr. Legs and I can't help snickering at Jamie Kennedy's limp-wristed, girlie little "Ooh-rah".

I wanted to know what "portrait" this film was going to paint of our bravest and best. Based on a lie, I guess.

We plan on going to one of the multi-screen theaters and paying to see something else and then stepping in to see "Jarhead" afterwards just to see how accurate the movie is.
I will post my review.

Durting WWII, when Hollywood put movies out, there was no question they would be pro-American, pro-military, patriotic, anti-enemy movies.
How far they've fallen.
To: wmichgrad
Such a disappointment, I was hoping the movie would have some merit.

Don't know about the movie (it looks worse) but I read the book and wasn't impressed; it was an attempt to make a whole lotta drama out of nothing.

I read the book and it pissed me off. None of the military officers I know act like that punk, Swofford.

"I also knew that just like me, he believed in no God."...on this, she is adamant: "Troy did believe in God. Troy went to church after he came home. Nobody made him."
Swofford sounds like an opportunistic scumbag to me...

Tne moment I found Jake Gyllenhaal was in it, I knew it would be a leftist rant. He is a big time lib.

Swofford probably got his PhD in poetic license from Oliver Stone.
To: wmichgrad
I saw that it was recommended by "The Village Voice" and "The Rolling Stone", so I figured I would skip it.

I want to know when was the last time Hollywood produced a patriotic war movie?
BTW - anyone see DownFall - the German movie about the last days of Hitler. I came away feeling sick to my stomach. Realizing what a bunch of pant pissing cowards Hitler's henchmen really were.
To: wmichgrad
Was Eldridge's son the one that was kicked out of the Marines for failing a piss test - it's been a while since I read the book, but I remember one of them that loved being in the Marines failed a test and didn't fit in to well with the civilian world.
If that was the case (him being her son), I could see that as something she wouldn't want aired to the world.
