Just watched "HEAT" with Pacino and DeNiro. The all time best downtown shootout film of all time. It appears they are using live guns with live ammo. Great Christmas flick.

NOPE. Just looked it up. They were using blanks during filming. But had trained for 3 months with live ammo beforehand.

Hey! Turner Classic Movies is showing "The Bridge On The River Kwai" tonight!

Nothing brings home the real meaning of Xmas like British soldiers being worked to death to build a bridge for enemy transportation...

Thai is a tonal language.
Depending on pronunciation Kwai can mean 'river' or 'buffalo' (water buffalo)
As pronounced for the movie Kwai means buffalo
Thai's think this is crazy - who would build a bridge over a buffalo, just move the buffalo.
But the other pronunciation "Bridge over the river River" makes no sense either.

But have to love the "Colonel Bogey March"
We used to sing that during training

"Hitler, had only one big ball
Rommel, had two but rather small
Himmler, had something similar
But poor old Goebbels
Had no balls
at all"
