The thing that irritates me to no end about Hanks is how he
feels that having starred in a blockbuster WWII film ('Saving
Ryan's Privates') has made him an "authority figure" on all things
related to that era, to the extent that he felt compelled to
produce and direct 'Band of Brothers.' I viewed some of the extras
on the BoB DVD, including an interview with him in which he was
recounting how it must have felt to have been a US soldier in
Europe after D-Day. And all the while, I was thinking, you weren't born in that era, you never
fought in that era, how the f..k would you know how a WWII vet from
that era would feel about having fought in that campaign????
