Shitting Tiffany cufflinks

Full Metal Jacket

(1987)

Better part of a decade since I last saw this, and that time I thought the Parris Island stuff was mind-blowing, the in-country stuff merely ordinary, but this time I'm a little more impressed by the Vietnam half. Still, it's hard to erase the image of Vincent D'Onofrio's "Private Pyle" armed in the platoon head, crazy eyes rolled back in his skull. There's nothing in the heart of darkness that can compare to that.
