You know Butters, maybe your friends have changed for the better. Your fascination with blowing up Nazis and violence is a little over the top. Put yourself in the place of a normal everyday soldier pushed into going to war by politicians and I think you would change your mind pretty fucking quickly about blowing the fucking crap outta someone. It's not pretty, and it certainly is not fucking cool. The sooner you kids grow up and realise war aint no fucking game the better.

I would choose LOTR over an action/war flick anyday. Tolkiens story is a classic, no over the top violence and blood shed, classic good against evil storyline set in a fantastical world, and it's a damn sight more interesting then seeing regurgitated America vs Nazi's movies over and over again, although Band of Brothers was an outstanding achievement, and is, IMO, the best war movie/series to ever be shown. Not because of the violence and the setting, but because of the human factor portrayed in it, by showing that war is a horrible thing and can destroy mentally the strongest of us or on the flipside make us stronger.
