“A brutal and realistic war film focuses on the lives of a squad of 14 U.S. Army soldiers of B Company, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division during the brutal 10 day (May 11-20, 1969) battle for Hill 937 in the A Shau Valley of Vietnam as they try again and again to take the fortified hill held by the North Vietnamese, and the faults and casualties they take every time in which the battle was later dubbed “Hamburger Hill” because enemy fire was so fierce that the fusillade of bullets turned assaulting troops into shredded hamburger” - Sourced from IMDb

I’ll discuss it with Zach when The Long Good Friday is screened.

'Cause, next week, it’ll be one of my favorite films that’s about to be screened.

BTW, are Fridays for private screenings or public?

If it’s the former, what day do you then suggest for public screenings?
If it’s the latter, same question, for private screenings.

When’s the movie today?

Tomorrow, actually. The thing is this was the acceptable time available for us to see the film. You can chat with us today though 8:30 GMT (3:30 ET) if you’re free of course. We’re still debating whether Fridays would be a good replacement for Saturdays.

BTW, the film we’ll be watching is The Lives of Others. The Secretary screening comes Tuesday but if you’re not available for that, tell me when so that I can show you the film myself, similar to what I did with Marcus for One Hour Photo.

If you are coming to chat with us on Kosmi, please do. When entering, you can either log on or don’t (logging on would be easier for me to call you though).

When on chat, say “Keith and Troy” for confirmation. :slight_smile:
