I've been checking in on this project for a few years now. Looks like they finally have a trailer up.
For those that don't know... Tom Hanks & Stephen Spielberg executive product an HBO/Dreamworks 10 part WWII mini-series (sound familiar)? Except instead of paratroopers in Europe it's marines fighting in the pacific.

Wow..I'll be watching this.
[Jun 29,2009 4:15pm - arilliusbm ""]
I wonder if it'll discuss our prior knowledge of the forth coming atton on Pearl Harbor.
[Jun 29,2009 4:16pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
doubtful
[Jun 29,2009 4:17pm - brian_dc ""]
well, I hate all trailers because it's all overdramatic pandering bullshit.
But...I'm going to watch this series 10-30 times, I'm sure. Band of Brothers is my jam.

Band of Brothers was absolutely amazing. I will most def be wathing this and grabbing it when it comes out on DVD.
[Jun 29,2009 7:37pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
I propose a band of brothers bluray marathon
[Jun 29,2009 7:47pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""]
I hope this series has an accurate depiction of Cotton Hill's mutilation and heroic slaying of fitty tojo.

haha

If this is even 1/4 as good as Band of Brothers., it will still rule
[Jul 1,2009 2:28am - the_reverend ""]
I watch BoB a bunch today in between playing COD5.
[Jul 1,2009 8:34am - xmikex ""]
First, lul @ the Cotton Hill reference. Fitty men. FTW
Second, Band of Brothers was probably the best television series ever, and for my money the definitive work on WWII.
Third, I don't have HBO, but I'd consider getting it just to watch this.
Fourth, I'm all for a band of brothers bluray marathon as long as no one minds that my dick will be out half way through the first battle scene.

If you have the player and the hdtv i highly recommend getting it on bluray. You will be blown the fuck away.

Yeah it's awesome. I own it on dvd & bluray.

The PBS special DID mention that.

Really? The atton?

I can't view the fb cause of stupid flash.

i hope they have the veterans talking before and after the episodes like they did with BoB.
[Dec 14,2009 11:43am - arilliusbm ""]
I still haven't seen all the bob episodes. Need to see em.
I wish WWI had more attention like this. Everyone obsesses over WWII. Need moar red baron dogfight stories plz.
[Dec 14,2009 11:45am - the_reverend ""]
This looks like pure porn.. I love it.

WWI is too confusing because there's no Nazis.
[Dec 14,2009 1:47pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
Who cares about WWI it was like 250 years ago.
[Dec 14,2009 1:51pm - arilliusbm ""]
Haha seriously. Most people could care less about wwi but its pretty fascinating. Biplanes and mustard gas or you're a pussy
[Dec 14,2009 1:57pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
There were no planes 250 years ago.

And the tanks...only a few years after cars were made practical.
[Dec 14,2009 2:52pm - arilliusbm ""]
The tank in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was a WWI tank, ¿no?
[Dec 15,2009 8:30am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
There were no tanks 250 years ago. There were no tanks in WWI.
[Dec 15,2009 8:35am - SkinSandwich ""]
There were tanks during WW1.
They went a whopping 2 to 4 miles an hour.
[img]
250 years ago doesn't exist.
[Dec 15,2009 8:55am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
That picture must have been from the Korean war. Tanks didn't exist in WWI. Tanks didn't exist 250 years ago.
[Dec 15,2009 9:02am - arilliusbm ""]
lol.

Will these band of brothers receive Pacific Rim jobs? It's the only way I'll watch. General MacArthfuck ftw

I bought "Pacific Rim Blend" coffee yesterday because of my excitement for this.
The coffee....eh...

the shit that went down in the Pacific during WWII is insane.
[Dec 17,2009 1:10pm - brian_dc ""]
I'm setting an alert on my google calendar for this shit.
[Jan 20,2010 4:03pm - SkinSandwich ""]
Less then two more months until this! very happy.
[Jan 21,2010 12:18pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
I know. they keep releasing new trailers. Fucking awesome.
[Mar 5,2010 9:40am - SkinSandwich ""]

What time does it start time wise?? 8pm? It says it somewhere on the net, but my new meds have me jammed. Any help? A week from Sunday it starts!!!
[Mar 5,2010 9:45am - arktouros ""]
Oh shit!
[Mar 5,2010 9:54am - SkinSandwich ""]
JAMMED!!!
Beat a coon for Jebus then give me the start time.
[Mar 5,2010 1:45pm - SkinSandwich ""]
Start time, K?
[Mar 14,2010 8:12pm - SkinSandwich ""]
TONIGHT at 9pm on HBO.
[Mar 14,2010 10:01pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
good show...needs moar gore
[Mar 14,2010 10:52pm - SkinSandwich ""]
I have to say thuogh, they are spot on with the reality on Guadalcanal. They landed and there was hardly any Japs there. The ones there were retreated thinking it was a larger US force. Then the marines got ditched so the US carriers could get away from the imperial fleet to save their carriers. Weeks later the reinforcements showed up.
[Mar 15,2010 10:26pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
I downloaded the 720p rip of this today. TRYING to finish band of brothers again first though. don't know how successful I'll be. My guess is I'll be watching The Pacific this weekend.
[Mar 15,2010 10:39pm - dreadkill ""]
i watched this last night. so good.
[Mar 16,2010 12:15am - brian_dc ""]
first episode makes me think this is going to be nothing but awesome
[Mar 16,2010 9:21am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
I'm glad that it's giving people that impression. The first episode of band of brothers was awesome, but can be perceived as a little slow since there's no combat in it.
I'm already prepared for some slow parts though since I know the pacific focuses on some at-home stuff too and not just the frontlines of the war. It's still going to be awesome though.
[Mar 22,2010 7:50am - SkinSandwich ""]
Part 2 was great. A lot of night fighting and a bunch of Nips in dead body piles. I get bummed a bit when I watch it though because it is so good the show goes flying by.
[Mar 22,2010 9:46am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
still have to see episode 1. downloading 2 right now.
[Apr 6,2010 6:25pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
I'm letting this show grow on me. I'm not liking it quite as much as BoB right now. I saw episodes 1-3. Have to watch 4 now.
PS: I've nerdily started reading With the Old Breed. My GF's parents got it for me as a gift to celebrate the ressurection of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
[Feb 14,2012 11:19am - the_reverend ""]
watching now finally.
[Feb 14,2012 11:50am - The_Rooster ""]
sucked.
[Feb 14,2012 3:20pm - the_reverend ""]
the love story sucked.
The running across the air field did not.
[Aug 20,2013 9:20am - the_reverend ""]
I'm watching it.. but I don't remember watching it the first time.
However the love story is sucking.

No. NO.
[Aug 20,2013 9:31am - the_reverend ""]
oh, I see why it sucks now :(
[Aug 20,2013 1:11pm - skeptark ""]
i watched the first 30 minutes of this when it came out and then just shut it off. meh. sorry grandpa.
[Aug 20,2013 1:36pm - xmikex ""]
I was all set to buy this when it came out on DVD. Then someone told me that Tom Hanks said he made the series because he wanted to raise awareness of how ashamed America should be of itself for the atrocities committed against Japan.
I SMH-ed and moved on never to watch it.
[Aug 20,2013 9:17pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
That sounds like bullshit. The Japanese were depicted as being waaaaaaay more animalistic and shitty in The Pacific. It's definitely still worth watching, especially if you liked BoB. E.B.Sledge's story is pretty good. They don't get heavy into his side of things until the last few episodes.
[Aug 20,2013 10:37pm - the_reverend ""]
Yeah, I don't buy it either. Nothing like turning a baby into a bomb to show how good people are.
[Aug 21,2013 8:53am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
Haha yeah, some of that shit was brutal. Don't forget the scene where they had the American soldier strung up dead with his dick cut off and in his mouth.
... That's not a joke, that was in the show.
[Aug 21,2013 11:12am - the_reverend ""]
I missed that...
[Aug 22,2013 8:37am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
I believe it was in the first episode when the marines first very to Guadalcanal. When they're patrolling the island but can't find any direct contact with Japanese yet.

Why do I have "the Pacific penis in mouth" in my browser bar and why was the search unsuccessful

Google image search has been lame lately when it comes to naughty content. I'm not surprised it isn't showing up.

obama didn't fight in WWII and he also don't play baseball.
[Aug 23,2013 1:17pm - largefreakatzero ""]
Are you being a wise ass or did you completely miss my point?
[Aug 23,2013 10:07pm - the_reverend ""]
I'm being wise and pointing out that obama wasn't like any of the people.
Except maybe the perps. was that your point?
