jarhead in el dorado

ended up in the small town of el dorado, ks. passed a massive correctional facility on my way here. bright lights. lots of buildings. thought it was the actual town of el dorado at first. passed a couple warnings signs cautioning drivers not to pick up hitchhikers in the area. guess there's a lot of jailbreaks. that's comforting. drove around town. found a movie theatre. decided to catch a flick - jarhead. didn't know anything about it other than it's by sam mendes (director of american beauty) and jake gyllenhaal is in it. was pretty good. about this marine's (that's jake) personal experiences in the gulf war. kind of like a cross between full metal jacket and three kings. but different. so not.
