FEWER GOOD MEN

I have thought more about the film we saw yesterday; A Few Good Men. I am downgrading it to a 2 out of Netflix5.

I found some plot holes. I will not bore you with them.

I thought more about the implausibility of the courtroom behaviors.

I thought about each 'stars' performance. In particular, I am sure that Nicholson was given free rein to be as nasty as he could. This included really sordid and grisly sexual harassment of the Demi Moore character.

The pot all boiled way too high.

And no one, least of all us, should have to sit through the arrogant sophmorics of Tom Cruise. John says that Tommy's way to show emotion is to widen his eyes. True.

I looked Rob Reiner up. He has not done a lot. Son of a famous father, he has not used the marked cards he was dealt out of the deck very well. And, if he runs for governor of CA, we will kick his ass.

He already has played a role in the initiative game; cigarette taxes going to preschool. Pretty good when the state has a lot of money but not so good when reallocation of funds is urgently needed.

I didn't like him in All In The Family either.

Meathead.
