Still makes no sense to cast “transvestite Tom” Hanks as an army Ranger.

I prefer “The Longest Day”.

I had the opportunity to talk to a veteran who landed at Normandy. He remarked about the soldiers taking cover behind sand berms in the movie, saying, “We were stacking bodies.” He also said, as an officer, lieutenant, he was sent to the Battle of the Bulge following, while his men were sent to recover.

I only wish Spielberg had cast actors that reflected how YOUNG the soldiers were, not actors in their 30’s.

I wonder if the extra expense of a 4K system is worth it?

My vision, and probably your average person's vision, is probably not good enough to tell the difference between high-def or even standard-def resolutions wrt 4K.

We watch component level video on our flat panel TV and it is very good and very difficult to notice a difference.

The added bandwidth costs more in both Internet traffic and equipment.

Or watch the earlier “The Longest Day” in which major stars from the US and Europe took huge pay cuts to make the historic movie.
