U-571

I liked
it. Surprise visit by Brian Keith, who deserves more work, and
nice cameo by Bill Paxton, as the steely-eyed Captain who teaches Matthew
McConaughey's XO how to sacrifice lives in the quest for the greater
good. And though Matt has been found naked in the presence of another
man, there is no sign of the poofter here as he surely becomes the man
we all want to follow into hell. And hell it surely is too, with
the Germans, those wasscally-wabbits, throwing depth charges at
their heads as our heroes sit passively and try not to piss themselves. I
think I'd rather charge into a burning building with a
Multi-Culti/Women's Studies Professor under each arm if you get my drift and I
think you do.
Some
of the action visuals were quite extraordinary, though perhaps over a tad
quickly. I didn't know that rusty tuna cans could float if you tied
a bunch together and rubbed spit on them.
Well,
this film not only proves that there may be life after rock-n-roll for
someone named Bon Jovi...(or, maybe not), but once again that American courage and know-how can
overcome actual history in our revisionist quest for total
hegemony. I mean, who really cares if the plucky Brits actually
did this -- or anything else like inventing western civilization or
democracy and shit like that. I mean......cricket?
After all we did win the bloody war
single-handedly, except for maybe a few Friends of Dorothy and
lesbian nurses who were too busy not askin' and not tellin'...
Ah,
I'm just funnin. Rent the movie, get yur testosterone cranked up and
start your own damn baby-boom. Maybe one will grow up to become a
strip-mall contractor. God knows that Kabul is gonna need one when
we're done.
