Flags of Our Fathers Trailer
Clint Eastwood shoots his patriotic load clean across the belly of the famous flag-raising photograph of Iwo Jima in his newest, Flags of Our Fathers. The film tells the U.S. perspective of the famous World War II battle at Iwo Jima, the photograph, and the events that follow, while the companion piece, Letters from Iwo Jima provides the soulless, savage, Japanese side of things. The trailer is now available at military.com, along with a fine selection of model planes.
Incidentally, while on the subject of the famous photo, I always thought it would be more powerful with more celebrities in it--kind of a "Sgt. Pepper" thing where you could pick out who's who, who's cutest, etc. Don't you?
Historical Note: The Japanese equivalent of the famous photograph "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" is a cartoon about a team of schoolgirl cats who transform into robot warriors.

This is too similar to "Wag the Dog."
And Warhammer 40,000.

Clint needs to make more Westerns. He's still hot.
In other news, congrats on being spotlighted by PC Magazine. But no mention of thesuperficial.com??

I think it's fitting on this date to post this: Michael Bay is going to ruin my childhood next summer if he doesnt' make the Transformers movie to the perfection of my memory and adolescent obsesive compulsions.
Thank you.
