All,
I just finished watching the HBO movie "Taking Chance". The movie is based on a true story of USMC Lt. Colonel who escorts the remains of a fallen Marine PFC named Chance Phelps home.
It is a very emotional, very moving movie.

Re: Taking Chance
Ok, stupid question.. I thought that was coming out in the movie theatres, is it an HBO only movie then? I don't have HBO but want to watch it.

Re: Taking Chance
maybe it was produced by HBO?
I'll have to see that one, may not happen till it comes out on cable though. Movie theaters are much too expensive for my budget.

HBO only from what I understand. Should be available on-demand tomorrow.

Re: Taking Chance
looks very good. i'm not too large on the US flag waving patriotic flicks (no offence), this doesn't appear to be one of those, looks like it has some real meat and potatoes to it. HBO stuff usually doesn't let ya down.
i checked the schedule and it looks like it re-airs tomorrow.. the 24th .. on HBO, HBOwest, HBOlatino and HBOondemand

Re: Taking Chance
Looks like one of those great movies that only comes along once and in a blue moon. Hope I can catch it at some point. 
These escorts home from far away lands have always been with us since our beginning. I'm afraid before to many more years these trips won't be so long.
