   Saturday night I watched Apocalypse Now 40th Anniversary edition with my kids. It was great; a much darker movie for our time than I remembered. The recognition of the coming end of neocolonialism and the world that comes in its aftermath is stark. We spent the rest of the weekend thinking and talking about it.

     @jamesmarshall it includes the full French colonialist storyline, which definitely underlines the dark 21st century themes, but it cut out some other things, like the second appearance of the Bunnies. I think I've seen 3 different versions and this was the one that affected me the most.

     @evan truly a masterpiece! One of my favorites. Many thought-provoking moments and themes. Did the 40th Anniversary edition have extra footage?

     "Hey soldier, do you know who's in charge here?!"

     "Yeah."
