Letters from Iwo Jima - VGF

I plan on seeing this movie... while it's still in theaters hopefully.

Anyone seen it so far? Good? Overrated?

I haven't seen it, but I have a funny anecdote about the title:

Boing Boing: Clint Eastwood's new film: Toilet Paper from Sulfur Island

Quote:

"Iwo Jima" means "Sulfur Island". 手紙 means "mail/letter" in Japanese, however if they are read as Chinese, they mean "toilet paper".

I hope the movie studio would retitle that before marketing to China, otherwise, people would be paying to see "Toilet Paper from Sulfur Island."

Sounds like a painful rash on the ass.
