Nu i september kommer #ThePacific till #Netflix. Då kan jag passa på att äntligen se den.

#PRÓXIMAMENTE

Las miniseries originales de #HBO, #BandOfBrothers y #ThePacific llegan el próximo 15 de Septiembre a #NetflixLAT!

Wrapping up the last two episodes of #ThePacific before I finish my #webcomic update for this week.

I feel that war movie/show creators need to remember one critical thing: always cast very distinctive (and, preferably, largely unknown) actors in the roles. Throw a bunch of guys into uniform and cover them in dirt and it quickly becomes hard to follow.

I think part of why #ThePacific doesn't hit as hard is the lack of the bookends on each episode that #BandOfBrothers had.

Specifically, the veteran spots (that still make me tear up) and the "broad strokes" text about where the war was heading at the time.

Onto #ThePacific now. It doesn't hit as hard for me as #BandOfBrothers, but is still largely excellent.

The other Norfolk. Island that is. Feels like a lifetime ago, but it was only September. Meet some marvellous people on that trip.

I'm stuck here in my bedroom for a few days. Might finally get around to organizing my RAW files and video from recent travels.

I watched through #BandofBrothers and #ThePacific again over the last few days (cheers @TheVoiceGuy for getting me to think about these great series again), and there's so much to take from it, even after a 3rd watch through.

The parallels with the current Ukraine conflict, the treatment of American soldiers by their own leaders, and the absolute horrors of what war entails are a brow furrowing experience.

I can't say I enjoy watching it, but with an interest in military history, they're the kinds of shows that remind me of why I'm so vigilant when it comes to fascism, Nazism, and nationalism.

Once you lose sight of humanity in the cause of country, you've lost everything.

I think I'll watch Ken Burn's The Vietnam War again. A lot less defined as far as who's good and bad - not that the actions of soldiers in WWII was entirely clear cut - but there's certainly a lot of bad to go around in that one

My new EP, #ThePacific streams worldwide on May 2nd.
