I don't think there's ever been a WW2 movie I haven't liked. I mean, they're all about shit blowing up. That's quality cinema right there.
Except maybe Thin Red Line. Shit sucked hardcore.
okay no
thin red line is probably the best
enemy at the gates
neat individual scenes, but i didn't think it showed an accurate depiction of the overall eastern front.
thin red line dabbled in the deeper intricacies of war, while accurately portraying the US Army units cleaning up on guadalcanal after that whole marine business, i thought.
does anyone else dig german war movies? stalingrad was pretty good, if a bit disjointed in the european manner
accurate depiction?
man what?
propaganda war
sending more guys out than guns
shooting people that take a step back
I'd say it's a pretty good portrayal
at any given moment, the sniper could have died, and the lies would have continued, if only to save their propaganda machine

Every time I think of WWII, I think of racist twelve year olds sniping me and getting pissed when I sneak up on them, and then calling me a hacker and getting even more pissed off when I laugh.
I had a German girl in my Socials class. You shoulda' seen how awkward my Socials Teacher was trying to explain how evil the Germans were in WW2 around this girl.

That has to suck for German born after the war. Having to learn the history of the world. Having to account for where your Grandpa was for most of the thirties and forties.

That's not so bad.
Right when we were starting World War 2 in History, three German exchange students ended up in our class.
Now that was awkward. Especially because nobody knew them.

Maybe it was just awkward because Americans tend to exaggerate everything about "The Evil Nazi Empire".
Maybe if you'd start to teach unbiased history... *cough*
Ferrus on
I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
"Well, the Japanese did start it by bombing Pearl Harbor. Admitted, that was a dick move, taking out a U.S. military installation by surprise. But then the USA bombed two Japanese cities to ash. Two for the price of one. That's not exactly fair."
".....Mmmmmmkay."
"So my father's people took out Detroit."
We bombed way more than two cities to ash. We fire-bombed the fuck out of Japan before we used the nukes.

Our fire-bombing of Japan (Tokyo specifically) killed more people then both the bombings of Hiroshima AND Nagasaki.
Also, anyone who says that the Holocaust is "overexagerated" sucks and is more then likely a guy who looks like Edward Norton's body double from American History X.
Goddamn was Ed Norton sexy in that movie... :oops:

See, this is why we can't have jokes about WWII. People like you ruin it for everyone.
I have the funny feeling that all WWII geeks just lurk in shadowy places, holding in their Dorito breath and staying downwind of any joke they hear about WWII, just so they can leap out like some kind of buck-toothed lion of the Serengeti, roaring their little trivia facts about their pet topic for life.
So if Savate is such a tough martial art according to Human Weapon, where the hell was it when the Wehrmacht came rolling into Paris? Hmmm? HM??!
did
did you even watch the episode?
Yeah. Ya see, that's what's known as a joke. See, it would be absurd to think that a martial art could stand up to guns and tanks and airplanes. And that's the joke. Happy now?

No, you're still a knee-slapping chucklefest the whole family can enjoy.
Just for an easy troll, her and her friend get so easily upset by this kind of thing, it would be hilarious.

THANKS, CALL OF DUTY. THANKS.

This is a bad idea.
Uh...

FREEDOM FRIES!

:O
uh
i suppose you could argue that
but then again i suppose three or four wars later you lose count, right?

I am German.
Not a Nazi.
My grandparents actually fled Germany to get away from that whole spiel.
But that doesn't matter I guess.

Ah, very well. I bow before your unmatched wit.

And that didn't stop the city from being captured or a whole bunch of them dying, as the show said.
