Make a Hole
My lovelies, I would consider it a favor if you would join me in a Band of Brothers (re)watch, in honor of Veteran's Day.
Here's what I propose: There are 10 episodes, one hour each. Let's discuss 2 eps per week, here on my journal, starting the first week in November. We'll have you back home by Christmas.
Replacements: (Not sure? Then yeah, that's you.) You will love it. At first, you won't know who the Sam Hill anybody is. This is perfectly normal. Keep going. Do not fall back. The characters will become clear before long. Yes, I know, that's Ross from Friends. Keep going. You will not be disappointed. It is Made in America of 110% Pure Awesome.
Actually? Made in England. Of 50% Englishmen.
Fine: Don't believe me. Here's what TWoP has to say:
They were brave men. They were complex men. And, thanks to Spanks's crack casting agents, they were also hot men. (Well, except David Schwimmer.) The Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg-produced HBO mini-series only spanned ten episodes, but the eye candy will feed us forever: Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston, the third extra from the back in that one scene in the middle...they're all pretty. And pretty brave. Relive the World War II heroics, offensives, and friendships ripped from the Stephen Ambrose biography; then, bask in the added glow of suppressed man-love and unbridled fan lust that only an TWoP recap can provide.
Ok, they have a POV. But don't worry about the ho-yay, if that's not for you. You won't see it unless you buy the goggles.
Thanks to the cute and brainy
gatsbyfan , for conking me on the head and telling me that maybe people needed some fricking notice.
