I'm gonna watch the remaing 4 episodes tomorrow and finally check out the extra features

A fantastic series i have only watched it once myself might wait for a second viewing until i get the Blu Ray Boxset.

I just finished watching the Pacific myself for the first time the past week watched it in two sittings hard to stop watching once you start.

I was tempted to upgrade my set to Blu Ray, but as far as I know they're identical, so pointless really seeing as the DVD's upscale nicely on my BD player

Yeah I've seen both on blu and DVD and to be honest you'll be hard pressed to spot any big difference even with your nose pressed up against the screen (which I did). So just stick with the DVD

Personally i found The Pacific quite poor in comparison to Band of Brothers. The characters were fairly weak and there was way too much of it set at home rather than in the Pacific.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

CLASS OF 1999. To Terminator with Love. Shit gets f*cked up and blown up. I liked it. There's something about the explosions in older exploitation films that appeals to me. I think it's the sheer recklessness of them, those balls of fire and flying splinters of wood get so close to the actors.

The original Inglorious Bastards and that kicked major arse - maybe I should write a story called Inglorious Bastards

That may be why I only watched the first couple of episodes, I genuinelly can't remember a damn thing about it
