In Reply to: We're about done with Invasion here at Casa Nasty. My pick, Over There posted by Road Warrior on October 3, 2005 at 18:37:20:
...are rarely my cuppa tea; that's because they tend to be unrealistic while conveying too much conservative pro-military war propaganda. That's one of the reasons I strongly detest John Wayne's Green Berets and other bigoted films of his made during the early Cold War and Vietnam era.Nevertheless, like you've suggested, I'll keep an open mind and try to remove any preconceived notions about the political spin this series may weave into it's storyline and give it a chance. Note: I do selectively watch war documentarues on the History Channel now and then, because they tend to approach warfare, both ancient and contempoary, from an objective historical context.
BTW, we're also big fans of Rome (nice HD production) on HBO.

that came out in my "Pro War" days, before I became a campus radical. What a total fucking crock of manipulative porpagandist bull-shite that was. They might as well have had the VC eating American babies.Over There will show American Fukk-ups. Not every epi as they don't happen ALL the time. There was a great one a few weeks ago, where in an attempt to bring a measure of democracy and liberalism to a backward Talibanesque village in the middle of nowhere, they inadvertently gave a death sentence, by stoning, to an intelligent, fearless, beautiful woman who went against the Iman and other elders and advocated that the Americans and the contractors who rolled into town with them build a new school instead of a new mosque.
In Rome, the character Atia is fascinating. What a wanton amoral slut. I was muy happy Marc Antony told her off last week, "Evil Harpy" I believe were his words, and got off his scheming ass to go save Ceasar. Rome, Curb Yer Enthusiasm (excellent this week), and Extras makes for a nice Sunday evening in front of the tube at Casa Nasty.
