I have two boys in the Army and I keep myself happy by thinking they are both in SGT Bilkos Army. Major denial. Anyway, thank you for responding. The Bucket List was good.
I imagine that a good chunk of this list has no idea who SGT Bilko is. If it wasn't for reruns in the time before 24 hour satellite TV, I wouldn't either.
I hated 300. The story is a great story, however the movie 300 is not about Thermopylae. It is about a comic book, that was about Thermopylae. Due to this there are some bizarre crap in there. For example there is some fat guy with hands like a crab who chop off people's heads. There are Persians riding rhinoceros. What the heck is that? It would be like Hollywood making a movie about Takur Gur, and the enemy is all 9 foot transvestites, riding elephants. They could have taken the book "Gates of Fire" and just filmed it. I sat my girls down to watch 300, to show them the legendary story of resistance, but I had to make them leave the room after about 20 minutes.
Meet the Spartans is basically 300 as told by an ADHD 8th grade boy.
