I've had it up to here with river metaphors.

The deleted scenes from Apocalypse Now:

I'm now distractingly aware that Willard got laid on his mission up river.
Kinda makes it a slightly more tolerable journey, no?
The sad glimpse of playboy bunny from the original cut seems less meaningful now.
You think oh, it's the last shred of pleasure the boys will get in that god forsaken jungle.
It's the last shred of humanity/America/life/woman/fun.
I did not need to know that there was a pit stop in a glamorous French plantation where a certain Captain Benjamin L. Willard gets fucked up on opium and seduced into a one night stand.
Although, mosquito netting has never felt quite so sexy.


Playboy bunnies return.
Willard has arranged for the "boys" to spend time with the bunnies.
That's very nice of Willard but they are playboy models not prostitutes and it would behoove him to know the difference.
The cute one in the cowboy get-up has issues we find out.
It's no fun selling your body for fame and money.
It's not possible to bare your body without baring your soul.



Colonel Kurtz story hour.
Willard has just woken up from a few nights in the hole.  Malaria?
The sun is piercing through the cracks; children curiously peer in.
The door opens and it's Kurtz in the full light of day, even though I promised shadows.
Corpulent and carefree reading excerpts from Time magazine.
He appears almost huggable.
