I'm a bit divided on this. Normally I would'nt have been, but a few weeks ago, I was watching a documentary on the UKTV history channel during the early afternoon. It was a Timewatch re-run with dramatised accounts of a German tank driver in Russia during WWII. One clip showed Nazi tank crews...

You could be right about it being meant to be a lot darker, seems there's a directors cut DVD edition out which is apparently more violent. Either that or its just the usual marketing ploy (extra few worthless scenes, just to add sales) Thanks for the tip.

I'm not a huge military buff but I do like the books by that Ambrose fella (you know, the Band of Brothers guy, his first name escapes me). the D-day one was a riveting read, if a little long. I also love books on ancient history, theories of evolution, cosmology amongst others.

I love historical epics, but did'nt get to see these at the cinema (mainly because my girlfriend hates historical epics!) so I'll get them on DVD. Question is, are they worth buying? which is better? And are either of them bad enough to avoid?

It was so bad it hurt, and had the schmaltziest ending ever!

Hey dont be sad, you have great new members like me now! :D

I had no interest in sci-fi until i read Dune at age 12, and I had no interest in fantasy until I read The First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant at age 20. I dont remember ever reading any horror books.

Have you seen the amount of people who post written material on sites like the BBC's get writing site? They're desperate for some feedback and guidance on their work. I know this is a book forum, but maybe a more active stance on the feedback for writers thing would attract interest. Then...

Not twitching yet but my eyes feel funny.

Right now I'm at work, so, as usual, I'm snacking on lots of coffee!

Gah, all this spam is sickening to a vegetarian. :D

Well, as Brontosaurus means 'Thunder Lizard', I'm guessing Brontophobia is a fear of thunder? Thats the only one i know! eeek!

And discussions like this really are'nt allowed here? Oh well, lock the thread if you wish, admins.

I disagree, I would love creation, god, heaven and all that to be true, but I cant escape the scientific, empirical facts (fossil record, cosmic background heat etc. etc.) that tell me that they probably aren't (probably!).

Hey there, fellow newbie.

A perennial argument in discussion forums, I know, but one that always fascinates me. I like to hear peoples opinions on this; Who here still clings to the religious idea of a god being responsible for the universe and life on Earth, despite all the scientific evidence to the contrary, and who...

I like reading Sci-Fi and historical fiction. Also like non-fiction popular science books. Pretty yawnsome, I know, but very educational.

Kickboxing! I LOVE combat sports, although at 34 I'm getting a little old for competeing now as its an incredibly demanding sport. My favourite position is in a corner taking a pummeling.

Yup, the 'Nights Dawn' series was pretty good. If you want a perverse take on the old sci-fi space piracy and romance thing though, look for 'The Gap' series by Stephen Donaldson'. The plot has more twists than a bag of twisty pasta stuff, and the characters are certainly memorable!

Hi Occlith, thanks for taking the time to give feedback. The 'sun killing gloom' is of course the depths of the sea, as the poem describes what the boat is travelling through and over. The 'gigglers' are children, this poem describes a boat trip, no other day out, like a trip to the beach...
