#14 apparently those 'oreo cookie' shells the germans were using were a fail. not only could you ourun them, but it was perfectly safe to run right past one as it exploded.
Greg, The artillery units (all sides) often fused their shells incorrectly. The shells are antipersonnel ordnance which obviously are supposed to air-burst, showering the enemy with ball bearings and shrapnel. You must have seen pix of WW1 battle fields pockmarked with craters right? Mistakes are easy to make!
My wife and I saw Saving Private Ryan in the theater when it was first released. By the end of the opening beach landing scene we were the only young people left in the theater. There were some older folks still seated that we later found out were actually there.
Maud, I saw it in Brazil. People were laughing during that scene. It really pissed us off but then we realized, they had no connection to the events. They were uncomfortable, but not invested enough to be somber so they relieved the tension by laughing.
2001: A Space Odyssey - saw it a few years ago in IMAX. I took my girlfriend. On the walk back to the car afterwards, she said she'd never see another movie with me. If she and her daughter weren't delicious, I would have left her.
"The Fifth Element. It looked good but it was gone before I had a chance to see it in a theatre. Once I saw it on TV I was really sorry that I missed it. It would be amazing on the big screen."
