I know I will catch hell for this, not least from my friends Phil and Randy, but I don't care. Katherine and I just watched Patton (1970) as part of our project of watching all the Academy Award-Winning movies since 1969. (Midnight Cowboy [1969] was terrific.) I hated Patton. I can't put my finger on why, but I hated it. It struck me as a cartoon, like many John Wayne movies. All the blood and gore of war was airbrushed out.
