"So," Randy tapped Gary on the shoulder before swinging his leg over the chair, and settling in. "Whaddaya think?"

Gary squinted and shrugged, then turned his attention back to the chessboard. "Hoot's bigger."

"That don't mean nothing," Randy scoffed. "You're bigger."

"Yeah, and I let you."

Randy frowned. "You do not."

"If you say so."

Randy continued to frown. "You don't, and, anyway, that's not the point."

"No, it's not." Gary moved his knight. "Point is, Sanderson won't be walking right tomorrow courtesy of Hoot, and I've got your queen in three."

Randy looked down at the board and swore.

Yay!!! You won't be disappointed. *grins*

It's violent & sad, but also very funny in spots & very realistic. And Ridley Scott (i.e. God) directed it, so it's just beautifully made.

And it has Josh. *pets*

It's violent & sad,

Ah shit! I just checked out the movie on the net, Now I remember why I never wanted to see it. I don't know if I can watch it, it's breaking my heart right now...I'm all choked up and want to cry...at the time I was married to an active duty soldier who was behind the lines in Iraq...I remember the news very vividly of the soldier's beaten body being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu...our military comm. was devastated...I'm sorry Brenda...eye candy and all, I don't think I can watch it yet.

It's alright, hon. The movie hit close to home for me, too. I was married at the time to a Ranger in 3rd Bat -- he would have been in Somalia, but he got out early 1993. A lot of his friends were there, though & some of them died that day. The movie is really a testament to those boys & how brave they were, which is one reason I love it so much.

It is a tough film, though. So, yeah, use your best judgement. *more hugs*
