And using an O-1 birddog standing in for an L-4.I was 8 years old when that flick came out and spotted that glaring screw up right off.

You haven’t lived in the world of really bad movies until you’ve seen Birdemic and the one about the rogue tire. It’s name escapes me.

The name of that movie really sounds familiar to me. Are you a Vet? I’m a WW II movie buff.

There was one good line:

When a German meets the Russians, he refers to “your yid Bolsheviks.” Probably an accurate depiction of German sentiment at the time.

I didn’t stay for the end. I thought I got it, but maybe I should have stayed if the ending was okay.

I stayed for 3/4 of it and it was too slow and artsy finally for me. Interesting take on the Russian view of things from an artsy perspective, though.

I liked all of those, too. Band of Brothers and the Pacific...along with Saving Private Ryan were my favorites.

Hold my beer!

Team America!

Saw this in Iraq as a contractor, and the guys in my shop turn it on, and asked if I had seen it?

So being older than all of the crew, started watching it from the start, shades of the "Thunderbirds, Davy & Goliath, Gumby!" and being over 50 years old..... my response was WTF!

I'm not watching puppets on a string, then the theme song started, utterly "dumbfounded" and just couldn't stop, and now 15 years later still dumbfounded and the time lost is unrecoverable, and the bloody theme song is still in my head.

Same thing when I was stationed in Panama with Marine Security Force Co., some troop turns on Beavis & Butthead right after it made its debut back in the 90's, although then I saved myself and walked out shortly after it started, after commenting that the country was lost.

Sure-— there was more than a year before Kruschev organized the trial of Beria, and then executed him. Beria was a monster, a perverted monster (and Stalin thought he was a perfect cop to do his bidding, and controlled Beria through his perversions.

Giving the parents of his underage rape victims, flowers, to say “thanks, and I won’t be putting you under arrest in advance for your not saying a word about me”— that was an evil person

There are several lines in “Conspiracy” with Kenneth Branagh as Rheinhardt Heydrich.... at Wansee Conference that speak to German sentiments. Particularly the character playing Roland Friesler (the nazi kangaroo court “judge”).

Saying something to the effect that a Russian is happy as long as there are livestock for sex and plenty of vodka— they are simple animals.

There were a lot of young men and boys at this showing. I'm guessing they were Russian-speaking, rather than WWII buffs, although they could have been both.

When I sent to see the Benigni film The Monster, the theater was full of young Chinese people because there is a hilarious scene where Benigni is trying to find a job and the only one he can find requires Chinese, so he tries to learn it. The interview scene. Total crackup.

If you ever saw the movie “Stalin” with Robert Duvall, there was a scene where Beria was mocking one of his victims crying before he was shot.

The report was, when it was Beria’s turn, he was whining and crying in the very same manner as those he mocked.

I think you’re referring to “The Longest Day”. Good movie.

Yeah... that one. It gave a story from all perspectives with subtitles, too. The sub titles added to the newsreel type realism of the flick.

She was so beautiful. Who was she? I was about five at the time, but I was taken by her.

Yeah, it is a great movie. As you say, it was done in a “you are there” way.
