flamingknives Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 A hero is someone who saves lives, not takes them. Since a soldiers job is mainly to take lives, kinda hard to think of ones self as a hero, even if he is saving lives by taking others.... No, that's your concept of hero, which is incorrect. Soldiers are most apposite for the dictionary definition of hero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one definition, but not the only one in my way of looking at things. Heroes can also stand up to tyrants and religious zealots, fight for human rights in the face of sure assassination, and some other scenarios, including wartime ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'm seeing billboards for this now in LA, I think it actually airs in the next few days. Too bad I don't have HBO anymore. I'll have to wait for a DVD version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to wait for a DVD version. Yup, the series starts this Sunday at 9pm. Tom Hanks was doing his rounds on all the talk shows this week promoting it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 It's to show here after a rerun of BoB that is up to episode 7 tonight..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoakey Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Any way we can get this if we do not have HBO? I know folks in the UK were able to get Battlestar and any others they wanted to via bit torrent, any alternative? HBO will get my money from the DVD I will buy but I do not really want to wait for the series to run its course and next Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I don't know but the first episode was pretty damn good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Probably bits of it will start turning up on YouTube where they will enjoy a brief life before HBO compels the proprietors take them down. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Any way we can get this if we do not have HBO? Can you subscribe to HBO? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoakey Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I am in rural AZ with no cable or other HBO option. Sure would be nice if HBO had a pay-per-view online service. I would pay. Any other ideas? Thanks all! Hoakey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Any other ideas? Once a week check into a motel that has HBO. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Unbeknownst to me, there seems to be an incredible amount of (very realistic) material about WW1 on Youtube. Just search for "WW 1". Sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48kgE02FwBA&feature=related Did not know that there are movies like this out there.

Thomm Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 www.hbo.com Watch it online. Free. "We are sorry, this video is not available in your region." Perhaps at another occasion ... Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 www.hbo.com Watch it online. Free. Thanks for that, Willy. Although I must admit that my set up may not be up to the technical demands. The visual is jerkey; it's like watching one of those movies from a hundred years ago. The sound is mostly okay, but I have to pause the flick once in a while to let the download get caught up, otherwise I get a hesitation every few seconds after it has run a while. This is one I'll probably have to catch on DVD when it comes out, hopefully before too long. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks to those who responded, but I guess I wasn't clear. Does anyone know whether HBO intends to show subsequent parts on its website? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
