Andy 60 Posted July 29, 2003 Heh... I was just watching a programme on TV about Terminator 3, and they spoke to Arnold Schwarzenegger (of course). I found this bit amusing: INTERVIEWER: Can I call you Arnie? SCHWARZENEGGER: You can call me Arnold. It sounds so much stronger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ender 8 Posted July 31, 2003 I recently finished reading Band of Brothers (again) So I have some great quotes for you. "Combat is a topsy-turvy world. Perfect strangers are going to great lengths to kill you; if they succeed, far from being punished for taking life, they will be rewarded, honored, celebreted. In combat, men stay underground in daylight and do their work in the dark. Good health is a curse; trench foot, pneumonia, severe uncontrollable diarrhea, a broken leg are priceless gifts." -Stephen E. Ambrose, Band of Brothers "The memory of starved, dazed men, who dropped their eyes and heads when we looked at them through the chain-link fence, in the same manner that a beaten, misstreated dog would cringe, leaves feelings that cannot be described and will never be forgotten. The impact of seeing those people behind that fence left me saying, only to myself, 'Now I know why I am here.' " -Maj. Richard Winters, ret., on seeing for the first time a Nazi concentration camp.

Ender 8 Posted August 10, 2003 I got to thinking about how the only well-made musical in recent years was Chicago, which had a story so repulsive that amusing as it was, you wanted everybody to lose. (Unlike Moulin Rouge, which was never amusing and you wanted everybody to die -- faster, please.) -Orson Scott Card "The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind." -Humphrey Bogart "Think of this. Here is a German soldier, in the light of early dawn, who went to take a crap, got turned around in the woods, walked through our lines, past the company CP and ended up behind Battalion CP! That was sure some line of defense we had that first night!" -Major Richard D. Winters, Band of Brothers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ender 8 Posted August 10, 2003 I see. "They were young men born into the false prosperity of the 1920's and brought up in the bitter realities of the 1930's. The literature they had as youngsters was antiwar, cynical, portraying patriots as suckers, slackers as heroes. None of them wanted to be a part of another war. They wanted to throw baseballs, not grenades. They wanted to shoot a .22 rifle, not an M-1. But when the test came, when freedom had to be fought for or abandoned, they had to fight. They were soldiers of democracy. On them depended the fate of the world." -Stephen Ambrose, Band of Brothers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
