Speakin of Band of Brothers... isn't that due out on DVD soon (or already out?).  I'm too cheap to pay for HBO (or any other movie channel)... had it, never watched it.

Due out Nov 5th.

it wasn' stock footage of BBs, it was CG footage.
And they did get some good artillery action in.  In one movie they used Grid, Shift from known point and polar plot methods of location.  how often do you see that?

You're kidding, 10bears? Sarcasm?

Wind talkers was a bloody awful film.

Just watched it last night.

I've seen better!



Sorry I was just trying to think of a movie that was worse.



The only other movie I think was worse was Mel Brooks' "To Be or Not To Be" the only movie I've ever walked out of.
I have been reborn a new man!

Notice I never said a better man.
