damn it...i feel so bored. and i know just what i need to rid myself of this rather annoying state of ennui. unfortunately, i don't exactly have the means to do it within one week. i've been needing it for a long time

on a different note, i've become quite obssessed with war movies lately. specifically those dealing with El Segundo Guerra Mundial and La Guerra de Vietnam. i don't think i need to translate what those mean. but seriously, i started off watching "we were soldiers" - that was a GOOD movie...it caters very precisely to what the general public likes these days - a very nostalgically shot film that reveals more than just the war itself, but also the feelings that individuals felt themselves, with a bit of romance mixed in here and there..oh ok not really romance, but stuff u wouldn't find in a regular war movie. so yes, it was a very good movie (4 academy awards??) and very sad too. but then i watched "platoon"...it was shot in 1986, but it is probably the best movie i have ever seen so far...more than just dealing with the vietnam war, i think this movie really cuts deep into the real conflict in this particular war - the main conflict wasn't the US vs. the VC, but i think it is more the conflicts and strains inbetween the seperate squads and platoons themselves...definitely have to watch that movie again
