I’m 39 years old and I just saw Apocalypse Now for the first time. I’ve not seen the original version, but I guess it was about 30 minutes shorter. I can’t imagine that. It seemed a perfect length.
And I don’t wanna pile on and agree with a million critics, BUT…It was a really good movie. One of the best in my recent memory.

I watched “Once Upon a Time in the West” last night. Somehow I heard someone talking about it on a podcast recently. I’m not sure if I had ever seen the movie, but I kept hearing good things.
It was great! I kept having flashbacks to all the westerns they used to show on KPTV 12 as a child. I may have seen an edited version of it long long ago (in Coos Bay), but as far as westerns go it was pretty good. I still think I like “The Proposition” better. My Italian mates don’t agree with me, but I assume maybe that’s cuz they weren’t raised on westerns the way americans are/were.
