Will Writes a Miniseries

With the release of Midway, I've be wracking my brain about how to do a movie blockbuster about the Battle of the Bulge. Lord knows we need one. The original movie was so bad, Ike publicly disavowed it.

But why not do a mini-series, Chernobyl style? We are in the anniversary of the battle. Say five episodes? 

How about an episode about St. Vith? Another covering the British 1st Armoured Division. The nuns of Bastogne.Something about the Krauts, wankers. The weatherman of SCHAEFF.  And can we have a realistic portrayal of Patton, please?  Not that crap George C. Scott gave us.

Submit episode ideas below.

Midway Redux

Here's the trailer for the new Midway movie:
At first we thought why? Then we thought why not?

The original Midway is good, but is in 70's hell. The battle could use an update.

What other WWII films could use an update?

Which epic campaign has not received a movie treatment?

Which Double U Double U I I films should never have been made?
