("apocolypse now" was perhaps the next best "shock" movie in some different sense, so much so that kubrick had to eventually come back with "full metal jacket" - more shocking in its own way)p.s. most modern "top" lists couldn't much wipe my butt, if you know what i mean! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> not relevant... just cuz everyone likes sugar doesn't mean everyone can live on it for long. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> like, i was buying a sandwich at "subway" earlier, and they were playing "american top 40" countdown there - and i thought, "who even -listens- to this stuff anymore??" i just - don't; i don't ever expose myself to it, and i don't miss it; while listening to it there, i realized, "i'm not missing -anything- about this." ;0 so, is it worth something?? maybe to worthless money-counters someplace, who somehow manage to position themselves where they can make money upon it... i sure don't, and i don't care!! ;0</blockquote>
