I wasnt bashing. I just said I would hate to have your taste in movies. But, I could say that about alot of the pretentious SOB's on this board. But, you know man, thats just like, my opinion...


FWIW, SIL was not awful, and def deserved its nomination. Its worth a watch. I just don't believe it was on the same level as SPR or TRL.

Also, I found the Thin Red Line to be very hard to watch and follow when it first came out. Its one of those movies you really have to pay attention to. Also, the war in Europe was such a different war than the Pacific. I think the majority of Americans are so conditioned to the fight against the Nazis when they hear about WWII, they dont really understand that. I thought HBO's The Pacific was fantastic, albeit not as well done as Band of Brothers. But I found myself not having as much of an emotional investment in the characters the way i did in BoB, but I really felt like I wasn't supposed to.
