Monkey 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) A 10-part mini-series from the creators of "Band of Brothers" telling the intertwined stories of three Marines during America's battle with the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374463/ This sort of sneaked up on me, I hadn't realized it's coming out so soon - am I just living under a rock or something? Wait, don't tell me, I know this one... anyway, 9:00 EST Sunday (3/14) on HBO, two hours later on bittorrent for everyone else :P Figured it was relevant to yall's interest. I'm pretty pumped.

Windows V 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 I'm rather excited for this. Have been for years, ever since I heard the first rumours of it, but recently that's died down when I realised that, not having access to HBO, I won't be able to see it until it comes out on Blu-ray. (Something this epic can't be seen in just DVD quality, much less bootleg quality!) I really do hope it will be good. Eugene Sledge I first heard of in Ken Burns's The War, and I'm glad they're using his memoir as a cornerstone of their series. I just hope the Pacific theatre is shown for what it really was - a bloodbath comparable to the savagery on the German-Russian front - and not desensitised. I also hope they did a good editing job this time. (Two of the most glaring errors in BoB: Albert Blithe didn't die in 1948, he died in the 60s, and Hitler didn't die before 11 April 1945.)
