Okay,

you can have chicks in this movie.

It seems to be a very emotional piece.

I'll see this one.

Thanks Dr.

Yeah it sounds really emotional. Saw the trailer on TV last night and was already moved. It is a great moment in history.

The cast is kind of no-name but that is not necessarily a bad thing in this type of movie. Also, Clint Eastwood is directing.

Very interesting. Looks like another title to eventually add to my warfare DVD collection (enjoy historical epics - probably Braveheart remains my favourite, even if the world apparently hates Gibson nowadays ;) ).

Personally prefer the cast to be so-called "no names," as big actors can often get in the way of enjoying the story.

Very brutal battle as folks probably know. Be interesting to eventually see the behind-the-scenes footage on how they made the battle sequences.

Besides, did someone say Clint Eastwood? (High Plains Drifter, Outlaw Josey Wales - you know a REAL cowboy not like nowadays).

I trust Eastwood as a director.

Can't be said of many men or women....

Looks like it will be a good one ;)
