Flags of our Fathers - Will our story shine like a light or end in the dark

So more Clint watching was done as I finally got round to this one. Iwo Jima next. Didn't know what to expect, but this wasn't it. More a story about the propaganda of war and the lives of those that supposedly raised THAT flag. But then it doesn't shirk it's responsibilities and still shows the brutality of war with glorious imagery. Will definitely benefit from multiple viewings. Stella cast.

The Chumscrubber - Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight

Lost in the high street, where the dogs run, roaming suburban boys. Mother's got a hairdo to be done, she says they're too old for toys Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen In this suburban hell. And in the distance a police car, to break the suburban spell. Break a window by the town hall, listen, the siren screams. There in the distance, like a roll call of all the suburban dreams. It's on the front page of the papers, this is their hour of need. Where's a policeman when you need one to blame the colour TV?

Suburbia, where the suburbs met Utopia. What kind of doomed modernism is so easy to destroy? OK cop out I know, but this film is one for you to work out for yourselves. It's been compared to Donnie Darko, and although I can kinda see why, that's unfair on both.
