One of the things I gave up for Lent was my Netflix addiction. Once Easter came and I went back to reload the ol’ queue, one of the flicks I tossed in was Band of Brothers.
I suppose I’m out of practice, because I forgot to space out the discs and intermingle them with other selections, the result being that I suddenly found myself with six solid episodes to slog through. I did it, too. But perhaps because I’m getting impatient in my old age, somehow I haven’t yet come up with the energy to watch the remaining four, which currently sit atop the DVD player. It isn’t that the series is not as good as I remembered, because it is. It’s just that I got my fill sooner than I expected. Wasn’t it MTV that used to say “Too much is never enough?” They’re dead wrong, of course.
Oh, and I’ll say again what I said a long time ago elsewhere: Damian Lewis looks like a constipated cat.
UPDATE: Groovy Vic asks exactly how I know what a constipated cat looks like anyway. Well, to quote Mal Reynolds, “Look, you can’t open the book of my life in the middle and jump in.”

You think so, too? What’s up with his constant lip pursing? That constant “kissy lip” thing drives me insane. Maybe it’s his way of keeping his English accent under control?
At any rate, BoB is the only time I’ve ever tolerated Donnie Wahlberg.

He does not look like a constipated cat. He looks like a Quaker.

I think he does that thing with his mouth to cover bad teeth. On the rare occasion that he allows his teeth to be seen, they look to be not so straight.

I’ve watched the series all the way through twice and each time I felt like it began to seriously wear out its welcome after the Bastogne episode. Oddly, I think I liked the first episode–the boot camp–best despite the fact that I usually hate seeing David Schwimmer acting in about anything. He plays a pr**k of a commandant pretty well though.
