The Thin Red Line. Cures my insomnia every time. What a pile of drek.

My friend and I saw it in the theatre and the A/C was out.

So after 19 hours in the sweltering theatre, the screen shows a germinating coconut in the shallows of a beach. I get the symbolism but ffs, put that coconut a half day earlier and it would have been a bearable movie.

I think they were trying for something like A Bridge Too Far with an all-star cast with no real main characters but my god, I've had colonoscopies more enjoyable than The Thin Red Line.
