Luckily for us, it's easier for them to translate wildly fantastic

great

Then again, those concepts are a bit easier to grok and script than
the war days of Stalingrad.


I watch Shield too, but there's no way I could confuse their CGI FX
with reality, while I could with a "dramatized" history movie.

If you think historical films in the old days were different:
