What are you watching?

Finally got around to watching Apocalypse Now. 3 and a half hours is a lot of time to commit to locking in for a movie.

I liked it a lot, I can definitely see it's influence on Metal Gear (the whole movie is basically the plot of Snake Eater) and why it's got the cult following it has. Really loved how in the very beginning of the movie the MC is losing his mind in a Saigon hotel because all he wants to do is get back in the jungle, and as the movie goes along, everyone else around him becomes more and more unhinged because they want to get out of it.

Great movie. Ending totally sucked though. I almost feel like with how stellar the main body of the film was, the ending being bad was almost on purpose.
