Burned through the rest of Band of Brothers on the weekend, and I'm rather disappointed in myself that it took me 10 whole years to watch this show. So, SO good. Obviously heartbreaking at times, but also a beautiful testament to the power and bond of friendship. I thought it was amazing. Great, great cast. Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston, Scott

ADORED!
ADORED! Band of Brothers. My husband and I watched it when it aired on HBO (cried my eyes out at the end.) and then ran out and bought the box set DVDs. It's one of the BEST mini-series in the history of television. I wanted to go to Pennsylvania and look up the real Dick Winters to give him a HUGE hug when it ended!!
I didn't realize Fassbender was in it. Did YOU know that James McAvoy ALSO had a small role? Maybe that's why they have so much chemistry in X-men?!? <3 ( ... )

Of course, he was hard to miss!
Damian's accent really was stellar. I was surprised Liebgott was Brit, too! They all did a fantastic job. Such an amazing series, and important, too. We can't forget these things.

By the way, while I was responding to this post, my kids are singing "Do Re Mi" in the next room. I laughed when I saw your icon. :)

Unfortunately, The Pacific pales in comparison to BoB. Just preparing you in advance.
But I was also late to the party on BoB and only watched it last year. It is such a fantastic series! I always do marathons of it especially when they're marathoning it on TV and I can always just watch the blu-ray.
PRETTY PICTURES ARE PRETTY. THANK YOU FOR THEM.
I love that scene where Ron is shot in the helmet and he's like, "QUIT LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT." While Winter's is all freaking out about it, lol.

My dad loved The Pacific, but he likely has a different perspective. What didn't you like? Dad just ordered a few of the books the soliders it focuses on wrote. I was looking through the pictures and there's one of a marine crouching by dead friends with his hand over his face and I'M GOING TO TEAR UP RIGHT NOW THINKING ABOUT IT. Gah ( ... )

I also saw Life before BoB, and it made me want to search out the miniseries. I felt that the character Damian plays could have been so overbearingly quirky if it had been someone else in the part. Meaning: If I read the dialog on the page, I might not have liked the character at all. And his partner is gorgeous.
Lastly, remember when Ron L was on The Practice? ob-JEC-tion!

It's worth it, in other words. Go for it.

That's so great that the cast is getting involved in the fundraising for the Winters memorial. I looked him up yesterday and saw he passed away in January and had a private funeral with no fanfare. Very fitting for him. :)
