Does anyone know if there will be a Thirtieth Anniversary edition of Kevin Reynold's "The Beast"?
Excellent film. A must-watch for anyone interested in tank warfare.
My ancient DVD has no extras of any kind; only the trailer.
I'd give anything for a Director's Commentary, a making-of feature, and a critical review.
Original release: 1988. It's time, gentlemen...

The opening credits are accompanied by shots of someone creating charcoal drawings of various scenes from the miniseries. Every time they show the charcoal pencil, it is splintering and shattering. Now, I know charcoal is a very brittle medium, and splitting the point of a charcoal pencil is probably a very common occurrence.
But this time, I was imagining that the artist was a veteran of the battles being depicted. And the pain and stress of the memories was causing him to press down on the pencil hard enough to shatter it over and over.
I may be overthinking what is simply supposed to be an interesting artistic vision. But it's haunted me a little.
I'm watching "The Pacific" for perhaps the fourth or fifth time through. Noticed something new.
