Very cool to see the influences. Apocalypse now.

I say this with the greatest of reverence; someday, Ben Stiller needs to make a parody of the Star Wars film-making genre; the same way he did for Apocalypse Now and every other "Hollywood Epic War Film" with "Tropic Thunder"...

I watched exactly one half episode of In Plain Sight.
A guy smoked a half a joint and hallucinated that a plane was trying to shoot him.
Never gave it another chance.

"Is it an Apocalypse Now?"
Damn, that was funny.


That is unfortunate. That sounds like Season 2, Episode 2; not really a good place to try and jump in to a new series. My rule of thumb is to watch the first 4 of a series and then judge. It has worked really well for me so for. I would suggest you should try season 1.


Thanks, I do remember that the person playing her little sister is HOT.

The background to this is that the gig was a series of comics but on the day the Philly crowd was booing them and generally being complete tossers.

Burr finally comes on and just starts going at them. If I recall correctly he stated it was "like Apocalypse Now" out there but by the end he's actually won them round.

he's thinking of Deer Hunter, not Apocalypse Now.


Yep.

he's thinking of Deer Hunter, not Apocalypse Now.

per wikipedia:
"N.W.O." (New World Order) is a song by the Industrial metal band Ministry, released as the second single off the album Psalm 69. The single was Ministry's biggest hit, topping out on the Billboard Modern Rock chart at #11.

The song is a protest against then President George H. W. Bush. The song features audio samples of his voice, with him repeating "A new world order" over and over again at the end of the song. At this point of the song in the video, Bush is portrayed by an actor with an enormous papier-mâché head, grabbing his crotch and waving his arms. The majority of the video is a mix of police beatings, riots, and gunfights. It also includes a scene in which a woman dressed as the Statue of Liberty is beaten by police in a manner similar to the famous amateur video of Rodney King being beaten by police.

The music video was featured on Beavis and Butt-Head along with Just One Fix off the same album, although the credits for each song call the album "Psalms 69".

"N.W.O." was featured in the soundtrack of the film Cool World (Songs from the Cool World).

"It's alright! It's alright!" in the song is a clip of Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now when he first greets the PBR boat.
