Movie Theater "YELLOW BIRDS" looks pretty good...
- Thread starter shootist2004

About time Hollywood strays away from their go-to PTSD movies.
So, I followed the link and laughed my ass off! One of the sites to pick from was Roger Ebert saying, "I never did figure out what a yellow bird was..."
I bet it's lost on more than just him. I read a bit about the movie and it also alludes to the title in the form of a conversation about mine canaries and how they act when let loose. Maybe that wasn't in the film.
I'd about forgotten that one until I heard it again. My favorite is still the one about "my girlfriend's a vegetable, I'd do anything to keep her alive". Wish I could remember the whole thing.
Looks like a decent movie though.
According to some Army site:
My girl’s a vegetable
She lives in a hospital
But I would do anything
To keep her alive
She has a green TV
It’s called an EKG
But I would do anything
To keep her alive
She has no arms or legs
That’s why we call her pegs
But I would do anything
To keep her alive
Sometimes I play a joke
Pull the plug and watch her choke
But I would do anything
To keep her alive
Each time she breaths in air
She sounds like Darth Vader
But I would do anything
To keep her alive
She prefers puréed food
Sucks it down with a plastic tube
But I would do anything
To keep her alive
We only ever did the first four verses down at MCRD Parris Island.
