Enemy at the Gates.

We could do it a week in advance, and make it May's theme day. that way people have time to prepare for D-Day.

Is that on DVD? I've been meaning to see that.

That's been on DVD for a couple years now. It's pretty good. I recommend it.

that's my thought on it. We were talking about doing them end of the month anyway, it seems if we did it ON D-Day we'd be doing one at the end of May then one a week later in June. Then the next would be almost 2 whole months later at the end of July. Kinda defeats the "once a month" thought.

What should we do for April?

This month was sci-fi and may is WWII, so maybe fantasy or early history (like anytime before the 16th centuary)?

I vote for classical civilisations for next months, simply because i'm interested in that.

And i'll review Battlefield 1942. I play it lots. Well, i play the mods for it lots, but thats not the point.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

...classical.

Ok, so thats a lot of stuff to cover, but that way everyone can concentrate on their favourite civilisation. I could talk for an entire article about the ancient mesopotamians. (Spelling). Etc.

The Thin Red Line - I had to study that in school. Great film.

Don't ask me about classical civilisations, and I know precious little about WW2 stuff also. But yeah, Theme days are a great idea, I say once a month is best.
