Hey, I do that whenever I see geezers.

Reason: one day, I'll be one, if I live that long.  :lol:

I liked the interviews in "The Pacific" for the episode where they go to Australia for r&r. You could see how they were remembering it all.  :lol:

Continued Band of Brothers. They're gonna have the geezers begin every episode? Breaks immersion.

do you not have an FF button?

It wore out after the 2 hour opening credits of The Pacific.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I really liked the BoB interviews. Yes, the series is slightly fictionalized, I guess, but it doesn't diminish that yes, those people were there and went through a lot of that shit. Just like Buchheim's Das Boot (the book) was largely based on his own experience.

I still haven't watched The Pacific in its entirety. I quit after the first two episodes. I watch Thin Red Line now and then, though. :wub:

To Money:

[spoiler]Recalling that Pinkman's cooks are about as good as Walt's, here's a wild guess: the best way out for Walt once the Panzerarmee showed up is to sell Pinkman into meth slavery to Lydia.  The M60 and ricin stuff?  That's Walt on his way to get Jesse back.  It's the old redemption arc.  Realizing how he's harmed his own family--because Hank's dead as an MRF--he'll come back around to being a quasi-good dude. :hmm: [/spoiler]

I disagree.  [spoiler]This will be a tragedy in the classical sense.  There will be no redemption.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Back-up prediction: jailbreak for Jessie and/or Skyler.  Back-up back-up: full-scale domestic terrorism. :lol: [/spoiler]

Dude, you have no grounds to talk.

Unless the protagonist was Jamie Madrox, I'm pretty sure the line "Great throwaway scene of the protagonist cheating on himself with his girlfriend, doggystyle" doesn't make any sense.
Ah, that's because you haven't seen the movie.

OK, you have piqued my interest.

Otto Sander, lead actor in Wender's Wings of Desire and Faraway, So Close has died. :(

To Languish readers he might be best known for this role, though:
