Preview for The New World. I'm hopeful. No Cluny or Travolta cameos and, hopefully, no overvoiced Emersonian musings.

Been visiting the internet site below for several months now. I have high hopes for this movie . . . I'm a big fan of The Thin Red Line.all the best, townsend
I, too am a big fan of 'The Thin Red Line' and frankly, I'm tired of the flack it receives. It is a far more contemplative study of human behavior than the film it shared a similiar release date with, and unfairly compared too, 'Saving Private Ryan'. The cinematography is approaches that of Stanley Kubrick, I can't think of a higher compliment.I found this film to be so intense that at one point, Ihad to excuse myself and go to the lobby of the theatre because I was nearly hyperventilating. Elias Koteas, John Savage, Nick Nolte, and Jim Caviezel all turn in career performances. It's still a challenging film to watch, you just cannot say the same thing about 'Saving Private Ryan'.
Like the poster below, 'Badlands' is also a brilliant film and Martin Sheen's best performance to date. I felt Sheen's character was minimized in 'Apocalypse Now' by the over the top performances turned in from Duvall, Brando, and Hopper and the sheer scope of Coppola's vision.
and I see he's using some od the same Staff on his new film
Tarantino used the music from Badlands for the intro. to True RomanceTrivia: Badlands is based on a true story; the Cadillac that was used in the desert driving scenes was the actual car used in Kit and Holly's robbery dramatised at the end of the film, and was used as an exhibit in their subsequent trial. The car was sold on Ebay 2-3 years ago
