Title: Band of Brothers- any good?
Post by: danielson on July 15, 2008, 08:00:01 PM
A guy at work brought me the DVD boxset and said I "had to watch it" and it gave him goosebumps. Is it really that good? I don't want to waste 10 hours.

I watched it when it aired on HBO and didn't hesitate to preorder the box set. The disc with the documentary interviewing the actual surviving soldiers had me choking back tears.

Is Generation kill any good?  I heard it's by David Simon and Ed Burns, the guys that made The Wire.

Yeah, I'm glad to see someone here appreciates The Wire.  Although it is difficult to place it ahead or behind Band of Brothers.  They both have their strong qualities.

The fact that's it's 10 hours is a good thing once into it, since it's addicting once hooked. Something like Saving Private Ryan in some ways, same producers. But less downtime, more focused on the front.

Tom Hanks Returns to Duty for HBO’s New WWII Miniseries

Tom Hanks is once again teaming with HBO in a miniseries about World War II.

This time around, Hanks and Steven Spielberg-who previously delivered the likes of 2001′s “Band of Brothers” and 2010′s “The Pacific” to the channel-will create a miniseries that will focus on the Air Force, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The article states that the series will “explore the aerial wars through the eyes of enlisted men of the Eighth Air Force — known as the men of the Mighty Eighth.”


The series will be based on Donald L. Miller’s nonfiction book “Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany.”

Both “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific” drew critical raves when they hit HBO, winning a bevy of awards for the big-budget projects.
