TV Shows: What are you watching?

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Yeah, the book was awesome, it really took you there.

It had me believing the author's true-story claim.

I was so disappointed when I found out this "autobiography" was complete bollocks.

Made me completely lose faith in convicts.

To me Platoon is a better movie. So is Papillion, The Great Escape and Blackhawk Down.
Platoon
The Great Escape
Papillion


Blackhawk Down


Apocalypse Now




Thoughts Reefer..,. Anyone?
Bridge Too far
Devils Brigade
Papillion - book was really good as well
Patton
Saving Private Ryan was an amazing movie

Dunkirk was the last war movie I watched
Fuck off
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Yeah that looks good. Mendes is a good film maker

I swear that's the same trench they used in Journey's End (which was decent for a low-budget film).

If you haven’t watched it yet, make sure to do.

Just got a Golden Globe for best mini-series and for best supporting actor.

I just got around to watching Ken Burns' Civil War documentary (it's only been out 30 years :roll: ). It's very good. It's shocking what transpired down there only 160 years ago. I was hoping it covered how they went about repairing the nation, but it doesn't really get into that. I would think that even today there could easily be strongly-rooted resentment and discontent. Nebraska didn't really play a role, but do you have any insight on this, Corn?
