Dish of the Day

Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:

Thursday, April 20, 2023

Today on TCM:

TCM is having a rare showing of Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 Vietnam war film Full Metal Jacket. It’s not only the subject matter with its lethal combination of various violent confrontations that’s “full on” here but the filmmaker’s firm control over his narrative and therefore his audience. Previously reviewed as a Blu-ray recommendation here, Full Metal Jacket is showing Thursday, April 20 at 9:15 pm PDT.

All responses are not only welcomed but encouraged in the comments section below.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
