NP - OMFG, I HATE Terrence Malick Films!

I once had a first date going to to see The Thin Red Line. I actually enjoyed the movie. The date didn’t. He kept sighing very loudly throughout and asking when someone was going to die (also very loudly). Now that I think about it, it would be wise not to use Mallick films as a relationship ink blot test. His films are a tad pretentious to say the least, but then so is Tarkovsky (just the first that comes to mind) in a similar vein.
