Quote

At long last, here's the trailer for HBO's "The Pacific," the long-awaited follow-up to Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's beloved WWII war epic "Band of Brothers." ... "I believe in ammunition!"


"The Pacific" has reportedly a budget around $200 million which, if correct, would almost certainly make it the most expensive TV project of all time. The new mini has quite a legacy to live up to when it debuts next year. Though its initial post-9/11 run on HBO was relatively lackluster, "Band of Brothers" kept gathering fans as the years passed. Runs on basic cable networks such as History Channel followed. The DVD set for "Brothers" still manages to float into the top ranks of Amazon's best-selling DVDs (and is currently selling great in Blu-ray)

For those that are interested

Looks awesome! :w00t:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Hopefully, the awesomeness of setting Japs on fire in their bunkers will overwhelm the suck that is Tim.

Thanks for that ray of sunshine.  :hug:

I have always preferred the Pacific Theater anyway.  Its kind of ironic, though, that the series focuses on the Marines, when by far the most action was seen by the Army, who were slogging it out day by day, rather than having months pass between the incredible bloodlettings.  Still, the USMC actions are clearly better-suited for episodic television.  It was almost like that part of the war was MADE for TV.

Philo T Farnsworth told the marines it would be good to fight that way.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

The Marines have always been great at PR.

That was exactly my reaction too. I'm game!

P.S. And I hope 'Pacific' won't disappoint. Even if it is only half as good as BoB it will be eminently watchable.

I'm hoping that the biggest disappointment will be that Michael Kamen didn't do the music.
