One of my favs' is Band of Brothers, the kids got the box set for me for fathers day.....In particular I really enjoyed the doco on the last disc...

[Ctulu]

The docu is such an eye opener ... it made what you have seen that more real ...
Tremendous series!

Omg Band of Brothers. I only saw it for the first time when Foxtel had it on a few months back. I didn't miss an episode. Brilliant series. Loved it from start to finish.

The frequent onset of blaring horns ruined it for me. 

It was a like a musical version of someone behind the set suddenly holding up a placard with
"Feel Emotion Now!"
 written on it. 
If it wasn't for that, it would probably have been quite good.

[Ctulu]

you my friend are too critical.  It's a series, not a documentary.

[Gator]

What blaring horns? Where? Are you sure it wasn't the freeway diverted through your living room, Ctulu?

[Ctulu]

huh what? HEY I wasnt the one complaining about the horns!   :P
honest mistake I guess 

[Wooster]

You miss my point entirely.

The music in any TV programme or movie is an essential part of the atmosphere, but with BoB they went way too far with the volume, regularity and repetitiveness, to the extent that I found it grated on my nerves.
At times it felt like I was watching a movie version of MOHAA..

Horns

Yes it will cover the bombing of Darwin in our Northern Territory..Did you know....We had more bombs dropped on us, in Darwin than in Pearl Harbour...

I must say I am not much aware of the pacific part and the war .... I should read about it some time. 

My dad is kinda of a WWII afixiado (or how do you spell that)  and I remember a paticular book called literaly translated "The Book about the Camps".  The pictures in that book ........ paticular the experiments on twins, where they cut open parts of the body like a leg, stuffed it with cotton and other filth and sowed it back up in the hope to see if that would affect the other twin or something pervers like that ....

Something you dont easely forget if you accidently open the book you dad said "Do not touch that!".  Up till this day I can't force myself to actualy read it ...

LMAO.  What a peckehead. I liked BOB. I found the music helped to increase the intensity of the series. I have full on surround sound too, so I really heard the music. Sh*t, those half-tracks and tanks made the windows vibtrate. I want the series on DVD too, although I must have seen it 10 times.
