It is about a daring raid by the US rangers in WWII to liberate the most notorious of the Japanese POW camps.

I've never heard of the raid before... it actually happened?

Looks like it might be a good movie... hooray!
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

I've been seeing the trailer on TV for nearly months now. It looks great, and I'll definitely see it. :)
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

WMV and quicktime files are viewable fairly trivially on Linux using mplayer or VLC. Though not a streaming WMV, those usually require WMP plugins. Eww.

Meh, i loath feel-good movies that look to put some crappy love-story in a War setting. I'm betting that this'll turn out to be a crap-fest like Pearl Harbour *shudder* i still can't believe i payed to see that movie...

[color=66ff00]Aye, I was thinking the same thing.

Actually my linux box does a better job of decoding and playing a range of formats than my windows machine. I'm not sure if that's a testament to how well designed mplayer is or if I've just been inept in setting up media player classic. :)
