I forgot to add that it took me three times as long with “The Pacific to recognize, separate, and identify with the characters as it did with BOB. I was nearly halfway through "The Pacific" before I quit asking myself “OK, this is the guy who did what earlier?”

In decades of movie going "The Thin Red Line" was the first one ever to put me to sleep.

That was my main beef as well. Not enough character development. There is a fine balance between having too little, and too much. This one hit the too little mark.

The real Virginia Grey was prettier than the bimbo looking girl in the Bond Drive episode. Not sure if the real Star slept with the soldier or not, or if it was just creative writing. And the girls they hooked up with in Melbourne looked like they fell off Vanity Fair Magazine, and not like ordinary girls. Not complaining about that though.
