Apocalypse Now (1979)

     To some extent Apocalypse Now (1979) weirdly belongs in the same category of films as Gone With the Wind (1939). Both are titans of cinema; undertakings as successful as they are grand, and incredibly difficult for me to watch. I was dreading rewatching Apocalypse Now as soon as I finished my first viewing. I guessed a rewatch would be inevitable. After all I didn’t really feel like I truly “got it”. In truth I still don’t think I do, but now more than ever I’m pretty sure I don’t really want to.

So how's about that new Godzilla film... I'm excited for that. But it's not out yet and I'm no big shot film critic who gets invites to press screenings. So can't talk about that. I'd love to talk about one of the 30 some other Godzilla films but I don't have anything new to add to the discussion surrounding those and those not familiar probably wouldn't care anyhow. That Detective Pikachu movie is doing well, but I haven't seen it yet so I don't have anything to say about that either... So what to talk about...
