If you have a minute, look at some of the comments on the above site. Sounds like our forum at times

Looks like its set for a March 2010 release judging from what HBO/Hanks/Spielberg have said....long wait...although WitP:AE would certainly fill the gap...

Status: offline 		I'm a little concerned that an romantic plotline appears to be woven into the show.  I liked that BoB centered on the men in a combat setting (and training, I suppose).  They may talk about back home, but you don't see it.  I also liked that it was based on actual people.

I am wondering if that is the case in "The Pacific" now.  From what I had heard previously, it is not about a single small unit as it moves through the war.  They couldn't do it that way and show the full breadth of even just the US' ground combat experience.

Those DUKW's looked real...do you think they built working mock-ups or was that CGI?

I'm looking forward to this as well.

I tried "Band of Brothers." I really did. Wound up not liking it, either.

So, I have yet to pencil in "The Pacific" on my dance card.

Now, naked, ample-bosomed women are always welcome in my entertainment scene. As long as they don't bring any Spielberg or Hanks movies with 'em...

HBO want some of these 200 millions back and naked women are good at raising revenues, so no wonder. It also can be just a flashback.

The only still operational "Ducks" that I am aware of are in the Wisconsin Dells. I doubt they used them.

Nah... There are still quite a few around.

Check this link from only a couple of weeks ago: http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?p=113482


I'll even be willing to place a wager that some of these particular vehicles got a starring role.

darn straight! I was tormented after seeing "said movie" so anytime I see a war "film/flick" that has any love scenes I just admit its probably related to said movie.
