So I finally broke down and watched Black Hawk Down last night. Jesus fuck, what a depressing movie. I almost shut it off at the halfway mark. Between the unrelenting grimness and my developing queasiness at the very idea of trying to recreate something like this in the first place, it was too much, but I managed to finish it.
Remember that old song? War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing! This is the part of humanity that makes me glad we're heading down the hole, frankly - the entire constellation of violence, bloodshed, war, all of it. It's fucking obscene, but it's also the reason we're human and not something else. We can't get rid of it, so good fucking riddance to us, I say.
Fucking hell. That is it, I swear - no more fucking war movies for me. End. Finis. Done.

Was that your last Josh movie to see or have you more to go?
