***********


I saw this in the theaters back in 94 and hated it. Since my taste in movies has completely changed since then I decided to give it another chance. It’s still not one of my favorites, but I got a lot more out of it this time.

IMDB trivia:
There were 150 shots that were either cut or redone in order to get an "R" rating instead of "NC-17". Editing for the film took 11 months.
Coca-Cola approved the use of the Polar Bear ads for its product in the movie without having a full idea of what the movie was about; when the Board of Directors saw the finished product, they were furious.

Amazing movie for its time, using MTV style editing to in effect desensitize the audience to the violence, which was what I felt the entire commentary from the film was about: the desensitization to violence in our country. Have things gotten any better? Played any video games lately?

I didn't know that Woody Harrelson's father is in prison for killing a federal judge.

Charles Harrelson was a freelance hitman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Harrelson

Harrelson has declared that he was involved in John F. Kennedy's assassination. Some think he was one of the three tramps photographed after being arrested on November 22, 1963, in a boxcar in the railyard near Dealey Plaza. Harrelson's arresting officer, Marvin L. Wise, claims that the three men in his custody were released after a few hours of questioning. The other arresting officer, David V. Harkness, testified that there were several individuals removed from the train that day other than the three individuals in the photograph. Dallas Police Department documents presented to the public in 1992 indicate that three transients arrested by Dallas officer W.E. Chambers with no connection to the assassination were jailed for six days for vagrancy, and that one of those men was named John Gedney.
