    I’ve never seen Apocalypse Now, but I get the feeling Trump has never seen Apocalypse Now.

      One time there was a heat wave in my city, and I don’t have air conditioning at home. The movie theater was playing apocalypse now, I think it was the directors cut. It was 3 hours long so I bought a ticket because I wanted 3 hours of air conditioning. I had no idea what a great movie I was stumbling into! It was about war and how horrific it is.

        Going in neutral without expectations is the best way to enjoy a movie in my opinion, there’s a indie theatre near my home that mostly plays older classics from US and around the world. I’ve had my mind blown by movies that came out decades ago, good movies age very well

        We just got it on DVD. It’s the “Redux” edition. 3 hours 22 mins. It’s the 6th longest movie in our collection behind LoTR extendeds, Beh-Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia.

      Great War movie by the way. That guy is a surfer fanatic and basically requested a famous surfer to surf in a hot zone. Dude was crazy just waking on beach with bullets landing around him.

    I refuse to look this up, it must remain potentially satire for the final thread of my sanity cannot take this being real

    dude honestly thinks he is the shit. If there was ever a pit fight between world presidents, I would bet money on him losing his first fight in the first five seconds.

    This is very similar to his playing of fortunate son.

    He watched the movie and though the fire-murder guy was a badass.

    (Or more likely, he never watched the movie).

    I just realised he doesn’t make these himself (or come up with them). But still. Asshole.
