I actually think this is on-topic because war movies are often an excellent source of inspiration for me in my hobby. Anyway, I just read several articles saying an extended version of The Big Red One opens in theaters today, with 15 added scenes making up 40 minutes of new footage. I haven't seen the original movie for many, many years, so this should be very interesting. The movie is now called "The Big Red One: The Reconstruction."
OT: The Big Red One re-released this weekend

The "Reconstruction?" Uh-oh!! is the first thought that comes to my mind. Hopefully it's not some sort of revisionist history portraying the evil U.S. soldiers as the baby killing, roof burning, punk ass kids Michael Moore would have us believe they were. At least they weren't listening to rock and roll back then. They were probably all hyped up on Glen Miller as they committed their atrocities... You're right though. Movies have always been my modelling inspiration. Always wanted to do a Flight of the Phoenix dio, but my understanding was that plane was never available in kit form. Will the new movie be the same plane?
Look up the story on Sam Fuller sometime after you pull your head out of your ass.
I believe he was being sarcastic, as in contemplating what "slant" Michael Moore would take on WWII.
