Well, there ya go. It's early and I've got soju, so it's looking good for Hamburger Hill and Porkchop Hill...

Still, anybody seen Dead Presidents or Das Boot? Reviews warmly welcomed... :begging:[/quote]
Das Boot is LOOONNNGGGG if you get the directors cut, and massively depressing. Get the subtitled version to give you something to do while they proceed to get hairier and stinkier.
