Band of Brothers

[rust5tyle]

I personally think that the Band of Brothers DVD set is some of the best $75 I've ever spent. Has anyone else seen this? It's a fantastic series.

 

[Excelsior]

If you go to the forums at www.arstehnica.com they all love it. Talk to them heh. Half of the guys have the box set.

I thought it was an awesome set. Especially once you have watched all of the episodes and let it all sink in. A lot of people told me that it had better action then saving private ryan, but I didn't think so. The problem I had with band of brothers was that since each episode was only an hour, I found the action was cut short. The first 30 or so minutes of each episode led you up to an action scene, then there was a few mins of action then it kind of just ended without you knowing exactly what happened

 

[fumbduck]

i ripped all the DVDs to my computer, after buying them of course. I got a good deal on the whole set from blockbuster, used, only one of the CDs messes up, but i buffered it out.

 

I got it for free at work, muhuhuhuhuha. PS I love it!

 

[NFS4]

Yup, I have it in my DVD collection as well (along with the Godfather Trilogy and about 40 other DVDs).

Best war movie/mini-series EVAR!

 

[Spooner]

That will be shipped to me by Netflix shortly

Wow, what a bigot. You don't like Sopranos, Six Feet Under, ad nauseum, because "HBO is crap", and you won't even look at the series.

So much for an open mind.

You remind me of Lt. ***. Better yet, you remind me of Captain Sobol.

I've seen the Sopranos. It's dumb.

I've seen several Hanks films....all sucked.

I don't have time to waste watching all this crap just in case something *might* be good.

My my, aren't we insecure and closed-minded?

 

[Quixfire]

I like both the Band of Brothers and From the Earth to the Moon.

I know he doesn't, but he had a large hand in creating it.

Just because it has a high rating somewhere doesn't mean I should or will like it. Look at The Godfather. Most people consider it one of the best ever. I wouldn't watch it if I someone gave it to me.

amish

 

[Amused]

I agree. Definately one of the best miniseries I've ever seen. I would consider this a must see for anyone, even poor Amish.

OK, you're a total bastard now. Die now before I do something evil!!

So again, what the hell do you like? Do you prefer WBN'esque material like Dawson's Creek or something?

AHHH, I guess you go for the "break from reality" "I don't want to deal with real-life stuff" kind of movies. No wonder you don't like moveis that actually take a brain to watch Band of Brothers is a pure war movie, about as realistic as you can get. It's almost as if you are RIGHT there with them.

I don't know what else to say... meh!!
