And yet, a good 65% of those "American Hunks" are played by non-American actors. Yes, Band of Brothers, I'm looking at you. But seriously, where's the hbo mini-series on all the "holy shit, yo, that's amazing" stuff pulled off by Soviet Russia?

Cannot wait for the Pacific rewatch!

Hee, I was just thinking that!

The Pacific is actually just as bad - there's Australians (Josh Helman, Leon Ford), Irishmen (Martin McCann), Canadians (Brendan Fletcher and I think possibly Scott Gibson)... in a way, I find it strangely reassuring that the Yanks have to outsource their hunkiness to Britain and the Commonwealth.

Oh and yes, and I would also really like to see some flashy big-budget epic miniseries about the badassery of the Russians.

Particularly the Night Witches. I mean, just the name alone sounds awesome.

The Pacific is just as bad, but Band of Brothers always cracked me up by the sheer numbers. And I get its a location/local populace thing and since the alternative is, like, Pearl Harbor I'm not going to complain.

I'd LOVE to see something on the Night Witches. I'd be all over that in a heartbeat.

Oh man, I've only seen like a few movies that focus on WWII aspects of Russia, but one of them was like a ROM-COM and the other was...Enemy at the Gates. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HBO SERIES/EPICNESS OVER IT. I'm sure there's some kind of epic series out there, I just never heard of any. I'd ask my old Russian teacher because she felt very passionately about the Russian side of WWII but, she scares me.

INORITE, PREPARING ALREADY WITH FRESH TISSUES.
