I haven't seen the movie yet, but at least a couple of the scenes I've seen--the flamethrower that breaks down at the worst possible moment and the guy with the working flamethrower who just stands and gawks in disbelieving shock and horror while the hero(ine) yells at him to "burn it!"--seem bla...

This is my all-time favorite performance of this song, not just by Hendrix himself, but by anyone. He was in tiptop form here. I particularly like the part from about 5:00 to 6:10. It's rather sad none of these three guys is alive today. I could do without the sparkler in the middle of the scree...

@MTD45 myself up against any 35 year-old couch potato, and any 25 year-old couch potato who's been smoking for more than a couple of years. I'll stop short of including 25 year-old couch potatoes who don't smoke, though if some of the young punks I work with are any indication, even that might no...

@cullmurr You say "unrest" like it's a bad thing.

28 people belong to the Taliban.

Without taking anything away from Ermey, I thought D'Onofrio deserved as much, if not more, credit, for making at least the first part of this movie the classic it is. Ermey played R Lee Ermey, both in this and in Siege Of Firebase Gloria, and I don't imagine it's all that hard to play yourself. ...

@Lectricfuneral Fine. I'll respect that. May I suggest, though, that you try to be a little more civil in your response to other peoples' comments in the future? If you hadn't called me an idiot in the first place, I wouldn't have said anything in return. I respect anyone's right to disagree with...

@TropicalConfederate I suppose you're aware of the Montana gold rush in the 1860's. Lincoln didn't need that gold as much as he just needed to keep it out of Jeff Davis' hands, and while I'm a bit embarassed to say I haven't delved into the subject a whole lot, I'm sure there was a lot of behind ...

@roquefortfiles I don't believe anyone ever said scuba tanks can't explode, just that firing a bullet into one apparently won't cause it to. I'm certain the incident you mentioned had nothing to do with bullets.

@Shuttheheckup735 I believe it's also been pointed out that Hitler would have done better for himself and for Germany if he had taken the materials used for building battleships like the Bismarck and Tirpitz and had built more U-Boats. Of course, even he had said that "at sea, I am a coward" and ...

I enjoyed this movie, but one thing always mystified me: who was this Admiral Kobe who was supposed to have been Yamamoto's Chief of Staff? Even I know enough about the war to know that Matome Ugaki served in that role. He survived the attack that killed Yamamoto, and when he learned of that Japa...

@1958Antimatter Thanks for clarifying that. Maybe I was thinking of True Grit or one of his later movies (though IHW could be considered one of his later movies, I suppose). In any event, it's still a very enjoyable movie. Brandon de Wilde, of course, will always be remembered by fans of classic ...

@cecelialynn09 What does it matter that smoking won't guarantee a person will get cancer? It's still a stupid, nasty, unhealthy habit. My mother smoked for 60 years and not only couldn't have stopped, but was in total denial that she was hooked. I'm more thankful than I can express that I never p...

Anyone ignorant enough to deny that Mountain as a group and Leslie West as an individual were forces to be reckoned with in the world of rock music and guitar playing must never have listened to this..

@gingersleep I never actually saw any of her pictures. nor would I be all that interested in seeing what you described. I just heard someone interviewing her mention her "erotic modeling".

@NYtoTX My sincere apologies. I jumped to the (obviously erroneous) conclusion you were a man. For what it's worth, my girlfriend is 47 and gray and still beautiful in my eyes. Also, my dad was going gray in his late 20's. As for me, I'm 59 and bald (I'd rather be gray), and I wear dentures and b...

I like the song and video well enough, but I don't know why so many people are getting so excited about a few brief boob flashes. Most of the people posting here are adults over the age of 21 and can access some of the porn channels and see far more than just tits.

I'm not a big Hall & Oates fan, but I thoroughly enjoy this.

@jpoafpybitty120 Yeah, I am. What gives?

@religionpoisons So scratching like that is normal behavior for a xoloscuintle? I highly doubt it. It doesn't matter what it is or whether it has mange or not, there's obviously something seriously wrong with it; and if it's something that can't be cured, the poor thing should at least be put out...

@RandomReview57 I agree. That's not what I would call a humongous shark, though I suppose if I was face-to-face with it in the water I'd think differently. Then a one-meter shark would probably look like Sharkzilla.

@voodoochild53 I suppose that's been said about musicians as long as we've had music. There will come a time when Bieber and Gaga will be yesterday's news themselves.

@5jerry1 Just what I've always said.

I realize I'm chiming in a bit late on the Hendrix vs. Clapton debate, but felt compelled to put in my two cents worth. "The best" is who each person thinks is "the best" and really translates to "my favorite". Clapton's work on "Crossroads" is my favorite (live) guitar performance ever. On the o...
