Suicide in the Trenches
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,

That show sucked.
Seriously, by trying to make it "hip" and "aimed at younger audiences", they just made it terrible. I like James Franco and Anne Hathaway, and I spent the entire time being embarassed for them.
Ugh. My generation sucks. -

Oh my God. Major Dick Winters just passed away. http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/01/dick_winters_of_band_of_brothe.html
