Jarhead: Who else is excited?
I'm really excited for this movie, especially since I saw Donnie Darko for the first time last week. Besides that, I haven't seen any other Jake Ghyllenhal (sp?) movies, so I'm not totally sure what to expect. Is anyone as pumped about this as I am?

Hell yeah, the book was cool too. I may see this movie more than once.

Re: Jarhead: Who else is excited?
According to a report on NPR, they took the book, which to those who didn't read it is a personal account "getting inside one man's head" into a more encompassing perspective of the Corps, which seriously undermines the book's original intent.

[/ QUOTE ] I am....but Jake Gyllenhall is not one of the reasons, i have no objections to him, but i don't think he's especially good either.

Re: Jarhead: Who else is excited?
I predict this will be a terrible movie...but I may be biased, as I have a brother who was a special force marine, and I actually know marines, and I don't think Hollywood's going to do a very good job portraying them (especially with Jake Gyllanhof[sp?] as the lead). Wasn't Jakethebake a marine...what say you?

[/ QUOTE ] we will see for sure but anthony swofford (author of the book and the marine/lead charcter--gyllanhall's character) had a ton of influence in this movie, what went in and out and worked with mendes with the script. this will be a movie that isn't pro war or against war, but about war from the mind of someone who was in it...not the mind of a man behind a camera. if swofford had as much to do with this film as mendes said he did then there will not be too much hollywood fluff about it (there has to be a little to appeal to a broad general audience cause if you read the book you would know that a lot of that grit can't be directed straight to screen). it could be a bust who knows, i hope not. mendes has said some incredible stuff about jake g. and why he took the role...

For now, this movie gets a [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] rating. Hopefully, it will get a [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] rating after I see it. I'll probably go sunday.
