Upcoming movies

The dog is a Labradoodle which didn't exist as a breed until the mid 1950s.  You'd think they'd get basic details like that correct.  It just makes the entire film unbelievable

The trailer confused me a bit. It's Finland, 1944 and the enemies of the day are.....Nazis?  

Set during the Lapland War apparently. No, I'd never heard of it either.

The trailer confused me a bit. It's Finland, 1944 and the enemies of the day are.....Nazis?  Not the ones allied to Finland at the time and fighting off a Soviet invasion, presumably.

Could be later in 44 when the Finnish army fought the Germans in the Lapland War? (Bugger someone beat me to it!)

And that 'Labradoodle'? Looks more like a Bedlington terrier to me.

Obviously a film based on high class primary sources and a strict adherence to the laws of physics and dog breeding.

In that classic parable of our time, the genius Doctor, Dr Hook, wrote "when you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch your friends (you watch your friends)"

Similarly "when you're carry a big gold rock across Finland, you beware the allies that your country has adopted as a matter of political convenience (adopted as a matter of political convenience)"


I don't think it's one to watch for military accuracy. How did the Nazis get hold of a T54?  Can you really set off a mine by inadvertently head butting it? Why are there Germans in Northern Finland at all? Was Techno their guide ... "Oh yes, certainly turn left at Leningrad."

T-54? Hmm, I was thinking an M24 or M41, but you don't really get a good look.

And there certainly were Germans in Northern Finland.

You can if you're very quick on the pause button. Gap in the wheels make me think T54.

Jokes are like puppies - they don't survive dissection. I was trying to revive the old practice of Techno baiting, a much hallowed and flourishing art in days of yore.

Found another image:



Aye, you're right. Looks like a T-54 or -55.

Ridley Scott returns to historical epics, taking Commodus with him:

Due in cinemas November.

Do you think Napoleon ever took part in a cavalry charge?

[Gwydion]

Good Grief!

[DecemDave]

I NEED the 20 hour extended directors cut limited edition. 

[mollinary]

Do you think Napoleon ever took part in a cavalry charge?

And was he left handed?

[Steve J]

I'm sure it will be visually spectacular, but as for historical accuracy, why let the truth get in the way of a good story?

[flamingpig0]

Do you think Napoleon ever took part in a cavalry charge?

In 1994 in a wargame of Marengo. He ended up being captured thus ending the Napoleonic Wars early.
