FYI - HBO's "The Pacific" starts tonight!
For those of you who haven't seen Band Of Brothers (arguably the best mini series produced in the last decade - if you haven't seen it, it's worth checking out), this is from the same producers and takes a look at the Pacific side of WWII.

6. 9:00 PM EDT
Got the recorder set to go. This production cost over $150M; that's Avatar territory! I'm sure it's worth the price of the subscription.

3. I think B of B was the best mini-series ever. I think this one will match it.
To bad Winters wont be in this one.

8. They'll probably do a huge DVD release for it like Band Of Brothers.
And the Band Of Brothers DVD is worth every penny - amazing series.

9. If it's at all like Band of Brothers I'm sold
That really impressed me, not just in the production but with the pretty firm impression they gave that they were being pretty respectful about the history and its participants. I hope they can do a repeat of that.
