Why is that, Mrzzy?

I finally watched "The Hurt Locker" for the first time last night on the computer, put in the requisite 2 hours (more or less)...then said to myself, "Well, there's 2 wasted hours I will never get back!"

If Zero Dark Thirty is more of the same, I'll probably wait about as long to bother watching it as well.

I am sick to death of gritty movies about the Empire's suffering and misused soldiers in the so-called "War on Terror"...a war which is in truth exactly what it claims to be fighting against.
