There appears to be a scene featuring an aerial battle with a falling tank. I am up for that.
Gimme some milk.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Okay, I'm in. I might even go see that in the theater.

I'm not sure whether they actually fight in the tank. But they certainly fall in it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is the tank's main gun fired? That could cause all sorts of wacky Newtonian reactions to the tank in free fall....

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I'm going to wait for DVD. I saw the trailer and it looks fun...but for what theaters charge these days, if it doesn't rock my socks off ala "The Dark Knight" or at least make me think it will, ala "Iron Man 2"...Thanks, but no. And there's a scene of a guy shooting down planes from the turret of a tank as it falls from the sky and...yeah. I don't expect it to change my life, but it is not "Shit yeah, let's spend a ton of change on tix and snax" compelling.

I'm thinking possibly a matinee. Maybe $4? I could probably sneak some of my own candy in....

I was hoping that was the case. Please report back on the awesomeness of the falling tank.

This is why I like AMC's before-noon $6 special.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Saw the HBO documentary "I Knew it was You" about John Cazale and I realize now that I'd seen him in every single (of the five) movies he was in long before I realized he was dead. Such a tragedy he was gone after so few parts, though they are all memorable. However, I would have hated to see him fall into self-parody character/schticky roles (e.g. Christopher Walken).
I think I saw him in the Deer Hunter first (because there was a big deal showing of it unedited, though with commercials, when I was in high school), but I caught Dog Day Afternoon on cable sometime shortly after and recognized him instantly. And then, of course, I saw the Godfather movies. The Conversation was probably the last one I saw of his in terms of order. He always struck me vividly without being in the least ways showy.
I guess my hope is if he'd still been around, he would have ended up working with folks like Simon and Milch. I'm not sure Cazale would have ever worked on Deadwood, but I would have loved to have seen him have the chance.
