NetRunnerI'm not so sure comedy is right for this clip, especially given what happens next in the movie because of it.
shuacOne of my flatmates in college used to do an excellent and hilarious R. Lee Ermey (the drill sgt.) impression.
"A jelly doughnut??"
videosiftbannedmeGreat movie by the way. This and The Shining are the only Kubrick movies I can stand.
Memorareand then they ship out to Iraq with the same mentality.
ha. ha. not.

What?? You disliked Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, Lolita, and Clockwork? Wow, no wonder videosift banned you.

LadyDeath: You accidentally put 'jenny' rather than 'jelly' in your tags.
Great movie by the way. This and The Shining are the only Kubrick movies I can stand.
Thanks fixed it
LadyDeathI dont understand why people keep saying this is not comedy I understand some parts of the movie are not but this part to me is....
lauraThis scene is brilliant for soliciting an empathetic understanding of why "what happens next" happens. Not funny, just brilliant. I would definitely remove the comedy tag.

Thanks For your vote Up
EDDFirst off, I'd like to quote what vsbm said some 2 months ago:
>> ^videosiftbannedme:
I actually do appreciate lengthy exposition. Just not Kubrick's way of doing it. Kubrick fans espouse what a genius he was. Overrated is what I see.
All in all I'd say this was a nice, solid movie, although somewhat slow and lacking in drama - at least it was right until the sniper part (near the end). By the way - this is where I start to nit-pick and express my disbelief at how enourmously overrated this film is.
The sniper scene (and I'm not talking about the finale, but the beginning, in which the sniper takes a couple of soldiers out) was awful, just awful; ruined the whole movie for me. It was dragged-out twice the time it should've been and marked by obnoxious unaesthetic use of slow-mo (way to flaunt your 60-fps camera there - a quintile of the whole film was in slow-mo) and even replays. Replays!! That's right, they're terrible even in bloopers and sports vids, and Kubrick decided to implement them here. Even 80s Hong-Kong action flicks did them better.
Ah, well. Mini-rant ends with me saying that the best thing about this film was Adam Baldwin. Chainsaw-wielding badasses FTW!
MarineGunrockI vote comedy. I've been there. I win!
10126Some of the most hilarious moments in my life occured during my stint at MCRD Parris Island, so yeah...the whole first half of this great film is comedy to me.

A fine compromise.
For me, this was the first scene in the movie where I didn't laugh. This is where the train starts going off the tracks, because you're supposed to start feeling bad for him here.
While I can't say I'm overwhelmed with sympathy for him for what he ends up doing...I can say I understand it.

EDD, I'm not going to disagree with you because FMJ is not one of Kubrick's best, to be sure, but I'll add a footnote that (to me) shows why he was a genius.
When the group stands over the wounded girl-sniper and they've chosen Joker to finish her off, watch Joker's close-up carefully, in particular, the peace symbol on his body armor. The peace symbol slowly becomes eclipsed, Joker then pulls the trigger, and then the peace symbol comes back but only half-way.
If you know anything about how many takes Kubrick forces his actors to endure, you know that such scene construction is more than feasible. Once again, FMJ is not a fantastically-strong film. But Kubrick's headgear had "born to film" on it.
deathcowgod this is a damn good clip
