Glad to see all the love for Barry Lyndon. I always thought it was great, but all my friends hated it. Thank you thread for confirming that they're a bunch of know nothings with poo poo taste in movies.

Code Jockey posted:I was thinking something similar when they showed the guys near the end creeping through the building, like it made me wonder what effect realistic military fps games have had on the psyche of young people who go into the military now, vs poor kids getting drafted back in the vietnam days I'm willing to bet not much. I'm pretty sure a lot of combat training these days still revolves around getting people to kill without hesitating. If anythings it's probably more extensive than it was during Vietnam. Simply video games aren't real life. Doesn't matter how good or realistic the graphics are, there's still a disconnect. It can be turned off or reloaded or whatever. I've never been in the military, but I've played a lot of video games in my life, had a nasty and violent upbringing, and been caught up in violent situations. Even when I was completely 100% in the right and defending myself it's still a horrifying thing to have to seriously hurt another person.

I watched A Clockwork Orange for the first time in like a decade last night. Still a great movie, and I probably appreciated it more now then I did back then. I could go on a for awhile about it, but the big thing that I never noticed before was that the first half of the movie up until Alex gets arrested is a ballet. Blew my mind a little bit.
