Edge of Tomorrow

So.  Did anyone have a feeling that the new Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt movie was an homage to 1944, June 5th, and the 101st Airborne Division?

I guess it was just me.

There was a line in the movie, and I'm parapbrasing, Your mind couldn't contemplate what I'm talking about.  To get juiced up by a temporal anomaly doesn't quite require a brain, Tommy, my boy.  Oh yeah.  Mr. Cruise said that line to a general.

Anyway.  The concept was good. A third 80s movie montage with training sequences without Eye of the Tiger, a third 40s military tactics and strategy without Churchill nor MacArthur and a third 90s love story without a happy ending but a possible new beginning.  It's almost like 50 First Dates meets Saving Private Ryan meets Alien.
