Great movie, though I missed some of the beginning because I had to have my tongue ripped out of my throat after the grand mal seizure I had during the opening sequence.  Seriously, if you thought Pok\u00c3\u00a9mon was going to give you problems, watch the opening credits to Salvador.  It&#8217;s like a strobe light with taiko drums over and over and it lasts for at least five minutes, or at least that&#8217;s how much time had elapsed after I picked myself up off the floor.  I think Stone was trying to say something with this sequence&#8230; something like, &#8220;WATCH MY MOVIE OR YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!!&#8221;  I&#8217;m just guessing that was the idea.<\/p>\n<p>When James Belushi came on the screen I intially thought, &#8220;Oh great, there went this movie,&#8221; but he was actually pretty decent in his role.  It&#8217;s a shame that the rest of his career hasn&#8217;t been as cool.  James Woods was awesome and played his usual dickhead role perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Easily one of the most graphic movies I&#8217;ve ever seen.  Don&#8217;t eat before, during, or after seeing this.  Hell, fast for the whole day because you&#8217;re going to throw up at least once within the first 15 minutes either from the inevitable seizure or from the rotting, bloated corpses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched Oliver Stone&#8217;s &#8220;Salvador&#8221; last night.
