Ignoring the link, for now.

Enter late, leave early.

One of the best I've seen in a film is the start of proof of life.

The dialogue, and Russel's delivery really helps it.

I watched it a lot (not just for the cards).

It had everything.

All the Russians in the truck made me laugh.

The car too.

I watched it a lot.

I'll probably watch it again now.

Trying to group films into stories, not sure where it will fit.

Don't do this you will become addicted.

Just watch once and walk away.

The dogs still baffle me a bit. Still a bit random.

The use of the tanks was great, the turn of the turret.

Don't study films, just walk away.

Its like the matrix.

Which is inception.

Augh!

Just walk away.

I assume this is fiction? Nonetheless, sounds like following this advice would be a turgid read. General's pre-battle speeches are usually pretty dull, and why is it only being told from one perspective; how nay good books describe only one persons experience and perspective?

Determine if the story telling will be in the first, second or third person.

Having been told how Monty was heckled in one of his pre-battle 'pep' talks [he made the mistake of giving it in a large cinema] I'd take part 4 with a pinch of salt.
