So ya know that Flags of Our Fathers movie, right? Well, there's something about it I just couldn't help but notice.
Three of the actors in the movie are Adam Beach, Barry Pepper, and Neal McDonough. What's significant about that is this: all three of them have already had roles in World War II movies. Adam Beach was a Navajo code talker in Windtalkers, Barry Pepper was a Bible-quotin' sniper in Saving Private Ryan, and Neal McDonough was 1st Lieutenant (and future Sirhan Sirhan prosecutor) Buck Compton in Band of Brothers. Okay, so Band of Brothers is a mini-series and not actually a movie, but my point remains. Isn't kind of lazy (and like i said, uncreative) to cast a bunch of guys who've already done the whole "WW2 soldier" thing?
Oh, and I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Is anyone else in love with persimmon pudding?
