CONAN- Simon Pegg Loves To Torture His Twitter Followers
As for the LEGO™ Playset don't bother looking for it, it got the required votes, but I'm afraid LEGO™ has a stick up their ass about it. Its just zombies for hells sakes! Let people have their fun, I'd get my kids that, assuming they think zombies are cool.
I'm sure they have police Playsets that of course are really age inappropriate considering the amount of shear violence in the movies and television police roles portray... Do we really want are kids to become police? They seemingly shoot more often than soldiers in war movies--I'm not kidding, pick a fairly violent cop drama and compare a semi-average war drama (nothing over the top for both or you'll end up with things like Dirty Harry vs. Rambo). But LEGO is happy to portray them non-stop... (yes, I know this is all a tongue-in-cheek response, but I really would like one to stick in the corner of the room, it's awesome, just look at it!).
I still love my LEGO™s, especially now that they can get so damned complex.
Trailer for a "near-perfect" film - The Hurt Locker

This is one of the best war films released in recent years. Because it separates the politics away from the people fighting the war.
Isn't that what all good war films do? I agree with you, but I'm trying to think of a good war film that didn't separate the politics from the lives of individuals. "The horrors of war and the duality of man", right? (Stole that from the Platoon imdb page.
The only ones that don't do that, to my immediate knowledge, are propaganda films like The Alamo (2004) and most of John Wayne's war films. (Love his cowboy movies, though.)

Great Cinema - No Man's Land (Nicija Zemlja)
No Man's Land (Bosnian: Ničija Zemlja) is a war drama that is set in the midst of the Bosnian war in 1993. The film is a parable with a tone of ironic black comedy. The film marked the debut of writer and director Danis Tanović. The film is a co-production between companies in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Italy, France, Belgium and the UK.
No Man's Land has been compared to The Good Soldier Švejk, Catch-22, M*A*S*H and Waiting for Godot for containing equal parts of irony and futility.
* Best Foreign Language Film, 2003 74th Annual Academy Awards
* Best Foreign Language Film, 2002 Golden Globe Award
* Best Screenplay, 2001 Cannes Film Festival
No Man's Land won Prix du scénario at the Cannes Film Festival, followed by numerous awards, including the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2001, while in competition with French Amélie. Tanović was presented the Oscar by John Travolta and Sharon Stone. Briefly after, Tanović thanked everyone who worked with him on the film and supported its creation. He ended his acceptance speech by saying, "This is for my country".
In total, No Man's Land won 42 awards, including the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, the European Film Academy Award for Best Screenplay, the César Award for Best Debut in 2002 and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2002. It is probably the most awarded first feature film in a history of film making.
