Re make of "The Dam Busters"

I agree and after my 30 plus year career in films I've seen too many good stories reduced to Hollywood garbage. I am trying so hard to avoid this with "Of Ice and Steel". It's fiction yes, but accurate and true to what we all love about a good film or book.

I hope he gets it right.

I think maybe a week after this was announced Peter Jackson said it was just a rumor and he wasn't making the movie.

That's too bad. Films today bore me to tears. Last thing I saw I actually liked was Letters.

Oh and the Illusionist wasn't bad.

I suggest you watch some quality foreign films.

Many of them are infinitely better than what Hollywood churns out.

I have and will continue to do so. I collect everything on WW2 I can get my hands on. Movies, books, RC scale aircraft, RC ships, RC subs and RC tanks. Just got to have it!

Thanks,

Steve

If they ever do a remake of the Dam Busters, I hope they don't go PC on us and get rid of the Mascot ******. He is part of the story.
