The White House blog has posted an awesome video of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg screening their new series, The Pacific (the follow-up 10 part mini-series to Band of Brothers) to War Veterans, special guests and The President himself. I’ve embedded the video below for you to enjoy. I loved the candid nature in which it’s been shot and my favourite part has to be Steven Spielberg following Barack Obama with his iPhone videoing as he walks. You can tell he’s in awe of the man and no doubt that video he collected was shown to all his friends! He doesn’t even hide the fact he’s following him with it! And that is one of the best directors in the world!
I have to say, the White House screening room looks rather plush, it might give Sony’s a run for their money! Before the screening, Obama introduced the show where they watched the first episode.
The Pacific is airing on Sky Movies HD in the UK, 5th April. We’ve seen the first two episodes and we know you’re going to love it. Now, check out the video below.
DON'T be taken in by the show —
FACT IS –having made BILLIONS upon BILLIONS these past
decades catering to the franchise slum denial needs of history's
–MOST– awesomely genocidal regime –ACROSS the Pacific
-Hollywood's 'fave' moral alibi of choice remains the anachronistic,
done-to-death, PC WWII retreads. Guilt-trips for us —pass cards
for the current crop of perpetrators –and justification for a soldout
and long stale film industry.
ESP. galling on this, the once again 'mysteriously overlooked'
60th Anniversary of the truly, epically, urgently relevant
—KOREAN WAR.
AGAIN —STOP buying into the set-up! –it's getting deangerous!
AMEN
