Luckily for us, it's easier for them to translate wildly fantastic
ideas into images and dialog. I'm having fun watching the DVDs from
Marvel Comics. Iron Man, Thor, & Agents of Shield are all just
great
fun, while being wonderful escapes from the daily grind.

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


I watch Shield too,

I'll bet the difference here is that I get them without a single
commercial interruption whatsoever. Crom, what a difference!
The DVDs have 5 episodes on each, so I can watch the lovely
Skye do her thing all night. I'm in lust. MelindaMay ain't so bad,
either, nor is Jemma. The odd one, though, is Phil. He's a cross
between a limp-wristed nerd and a DI, but he pulls it off every time.
Kudos, dude.


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

I'm with you on that.


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

Eek! I don't think they even tried to be objective, let alone honest.
