So this isn't exactly new, and I'm too lazy to make a template right now, but I just finished watching the bluray collection and I still love it :d

The bluray discs are also absolutely worth it. None of the annoying piracy clips, stunning image quality, top notch sound, good extras. Not having the fucking piracy clips is worth it already. 6-7 seconds to spin up the discs (slow player), 3 seconds of a military emblem and you're good to go.

This is what entertainment should be like, hassle free, no bullshit - worth every penny. If only the game industry would pick up on this..Sad

Band of Brothers 2001 1080p BluRay DD5.1 x264-EbP
Band of Brothers 2001 720p BluRay DD5.1 x264-EbP

Very Happy

May I make a small request? Can you please change the title to "Band of Brothers"? For some reason, the little 'b' stands out to my eyes... I'm OCD like that... Sad

Finished watching the 720p's about... 2 months back.
One of the best series ever made and most likely THE best WW2 series ou there (haven't seen The Pacific yet).

One of my favorite scenes:


Hmmm, will probably check out that EBP release.

@ Leo: Fixed, typed it on my phone and I'm still getting used to Swype ^^

@ tonizito: The Pacific doesn't come close to this, really doesn't. For me it just doesn't has the same connection to the people I get with Band of Brothers. Plus, it's closer to home; Bastogne is 100km south of me, Eindhoven 100km north, pretty darn local

Despite the fact that it's obviously been Americanised, I have much greater respect for these soldiers than I do for the poor blokes who are sent to Iraq, Afghanistan and fuck knows where else now. Not because of the soldiers themselves, but because of the reasons behind the combat. Different times Smile

Also just noticed that Richard Winters died on Jan 2nd this year, R.I.P.

There is an infinite deep hole of love for BOB in some people but I really liked Pacific as well...when it comes to the story I prefer BOB as well, maybe because Im from Europe but some of the characters in the pacific were true heroes man and it was great learning their story

Is this, just as the Pacific, one episode fighting and one episode talking?

This is nothing like the Pacific. BoB was one of the best shows ever made, the Pacific is a shadow of BoB.

Slowly they are all going. Sad

And to think I could have met one of them. I was an exchange student in Texarkana in 2002-2003, right where 'Bull' Randleman lived (died shortly after I left). Didn't know he was a local at the time.

one of the most boring series ever made with some of the dullest actors ever. so dull that the guys from LOTR are stars. imo. gave up after 3-4 episodes of pure agony.

If there was anyone who still doubted this series, there's the proof that it really is one of the best ever Laughing

Well Laurentiu I can always come and shine a flashlight in your face once in a while and randomly shout "BOOM" during the boring conversation pieces so it is more to your liking!

I kind of agree with his trolling. I did find the series a bit too actiony for my linking...

Are you saying that Laurentiu is arguing against too much action? Confused Confused

its a series about a combat squad in ww2, there is bound to be some "action", to call it actiony is a bit macabre.

the title is "band of brothers", not "band of desperate housewives from salzburg"

Ok. I cant even begin to understand that. To me it was equally important. It helped shape the characters and show the home viewer what war actually is. It was crucial, imo. I dont even think it should be called "action" scenes almost Smile

At least they dislike it for the opposite reasons, that should make Waldo feel a little bit better Razz

Though agreeing with Laurentiu on a movie/TV show- related subject should indeed make him raise a suspicious eyebrow and question his sanity xD
