Martinnfb Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Not much of a news, since the filming started in 2013 and Spielberg and Hanks were hoping for release in early of 2017. Let's just hope that it's gonna be as good as Band of Brothers......or better https://m.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/seven-things-know-bbcs-ss-gb-series.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Wow. That's roughly what I've spent on the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I felt like I spent more at the aquatic shop yesterday. New reef aquarium (250 litres which I think is around 65 US Gallons), all new pumps, sumps and lighting (that's the stuff thats insanely expensive)and skimmer. Haven't even got the corals and fish sorted out yet either. No new kits for a while! One day I'll fall in to a cheap hobby! mpk and AdamR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Don't wait for what could be dodgy like HBO's "The Pacific." Read the book the new series is based on, Masters of the Air. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 yeah, please dont be as bad as the Pacific ..keep the personal crap out of it I believe the problem with TP was too many divergent back-stories. BoB focused on the platoon and never let its eye off the prize. The major threads of TP didn't even intersect sometimes for several episodes, too. Structurally, it was a mess. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Preliminary reports are lots of FX and few if any real airplanes. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hopefully not one of those Hollywood fantasies like Flyboys or Pearl Harbor. ^^ This! Pearl Harbor was a huge disappointment, one of the worst war movies I've ever seen. The dialogue was California Modern: it made me cringe. mpk, Bill Cross and MikeMaben 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 To be fair- BoB was able to focus on a Company of soldiers only because they stayed together through jump school, and beyond. The Pacific can't do that, as there were never any companies of Marines that were together through any schools, hence the focus on campaigns rather than the unit. The Mighty 8th trailer shows the bombers flying along.... with incorrect national markings. On the other hand, they wouldn't have to make up any hair-raising stories for the screen, just bring to life actual events.

The dialogue was California Modern: it made me cringe. Yup. I knew it wasn't going to be good right from the first scene, where Ben Affleck was in the theater watching the news clips showing the "German panzers pushing through France" in 1940. Except the clip showed Pershings!!! My God, like they couldn't even bother to find early German armor clips? Or at least German armor of some type?
