[Non-Sequitur]

Spielberg and Hanks did OK by “Band of Brothers”. I’ll assume that they’ll give the same respectful treatment to this. Looking forward to it.

Band of Brothers was, hands-down, the best portrayal of the ETO that I've ever seen. It followed the book very closely (not saying the book was 100% correct, but the movie was true to the book). The sets, the costumes, the weaponry, were all excellent.

I'm a tightwad, and I laid out about 100 bucks to have it on DVD. Just was watching it the other night, in fact.

A little sparse on the praise there. BoB is the greatest mini-series ever produced, followed, in my opinion, by From the Earth to the Moon and Lonesome Dove.

The short interviews at the beginning of each episode with the surviving members of Easy Company are hard to watch and keep a dry eye at the same time. I have no doubt that Hanks and Spielberg will do this justice.
