Old Bobby and those short shorts... Thank the gods his band "Bobby and the Midnites" never went anywhere!
Yeah, "Letters from Iwo Jima" is good--though despite my love for Eastwood I think that same story would be told very differently by a Japanese director. Domestic films here are almost non-existent on that era... There are some great books, though, particularly by Shiga Naoya, if memory serves (and it probably doesn't! ).
