I accidentally saw some episodes of the office. Michael Scott and Dwight are more reactionary than I originally remembered. Just small details, but also the character’s personalities.

I just get a lot of vibes like, the writers thought “History has ended” but seeing this stuff later in life I know for a fact history comes back for season 2.

I’ve noticed things and gotten the vibe from other old TV shows, too.

Martin Sheen wasn’t drug trip guy, the French estate scene is also only in the redux version. The rest of the list makes sense but I really don’t get how Apocalypse Now doesn’t hold up.

Oh I was wrong he was in a drunken manic state.

And the only reason why I included apocalypse now on the list is for my own m night Shyamalan twist, it’s actually really good but I thought it was really bad / I was really traumatized by it because I watched it before I entered kindergarten and couldn’t bring myself to watch it until almost 3 decades later.

The mixup I’ve seen people have is all the pro America parody’s of the “ride of the Valkyrie”scene that have been created since then, but I thought having the Americans attack to Wagner gave away the whole “we are the baddies” .

Great movie, descent into madness caused by the horror of Americas war.

Especially because Killgore spells it out in dialogue and his name is Killgore.

As a lib I enjoyed Vietnam War movies, as a commie I can’t stand them, unless they’re from the Vietnamese perspective.

That’s very categorical of you. I’m sure Ho would be stoked.
