"The Pacific"
 

It finally premieres tomorrow night at 2100, -5 GMT. Anyone psyched?

Incredibly. Saw a short trailer somewhere, and it had (hold on tight) US marines running onto a beach from landing craft under artillery fire! And there was a shot of the ramp going down, seen from the marines' point of view, just as some officer yelled something cool!

I mean, who's ever seen any of that before:yeah:?!

I'm not trying to "advertise" about torrenting. I'm just saying that I don't have HBO

you sure you want to advertise with that SgtPotato ?

Yeah a landing craft scene in a Pacific war movie. What cheek!

Isn't advertising that you're using cracks or illegally downloaded films/games ground for a permaban here?

Spud, I'd retract that if I were you.

In other news, IIRC it's only on Sky Movies over here which is annoying, but if I encounter it on normal Sky then damn, you bet I'm going to watch it. :rock:

Yea I would love to see it but dont have HBO and am not going to get financially raped to watch it. Ill see it when it gets released on DVD.

Really looking forward to it :yeah:

Hell yeah this is one ive been waiting for since i first seen the ad on TV. Its going to be aired in NZ in about a month's time. Cunning they air the Band of Brothers series atm to get us in the mood while during commercials breaks they tease us with The Pacific ads. 3rd time round ive seen Band of Brothers and never get sick of it. We have this new thing called onDemand where we can go online connect to TVNZ site and watch the series all over again if we want. Any series already shown on TV.

This is a pretty good Naval website by itself but it also has a good plot synopsis for the first two Pacific episodes:

BTW check out the books being advertised. I may have to fire up the Credit Card...

Looking forward to when it airs here in Australia!:yeah:

Same here April release down under so not so long to wait. Nice to see it on free to air as well! Channel 7 had something to do with the production.

It was originally supposed to air in Australia first, in December. I guess it got delayed because they didn't want pirated versions floating around before it aired, elsewhere.

I think it would be cool if the same team which made BoB/TP would do the same thing w/a different country.
