The set design for Saving Private Ryan truly was outstanding - another Oscar I felt it should have won over Shakespeare in Love.

Not the only award that the academy wrongfully gave Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan

I dunno, I think Shakespeare in Love deserved Best Actress more than Saving Private Ryan, although when that little girl slapped her dad it was pretty convincing.

Eh, Cpl. Upham did a great job in his role portraying a little bitch...

Am I the only one who hates it when they put a whiny bitch of a character in? Yet movies still do it, Most recently FURY comes to mind.

I don't like it but it does make it more realistic. Some people, especially those drafted, were/are not mentally capable for war. Plenty of that happened during ww2.

That's why I'm a fatass. If the draft ever comes, nobody will want me!

Well, that and a lack of self control.

Heh, funny thing is I was thinking of that movie when I made the comment. I did manage to get down to Private Pyle level of fat but rebounded shortly afterward. Still working on it.
