Pat > It couldn't be more anachronistic than the movie "Pearl Harbor". I'll bet one of those Aegis-class destroyers that were at Pearl Harbor could have blown those pterodactyls right out of the sky with its Phalanx gun system and Standard missiles. :-) Pat On Apr 15, 4:46 pm, "cr...@earthlink.net" <cr...@earthlink.net> wrote: > this movie has all the makings of a great air battle. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > http://www.scifi.com/warbirds/ Will this be down to sci-fi channels usual high standards?

I actually like midway, but to an airplane buff like me, it's a mess.

Can we add "The Longest Day" to your list? Way too hard to listen to 3 hours of speeches. Love the scenes on the beach where there are roughly 100 soldiers on the beach. Also about 4995 ships short of the 5000 used in the invasion. Craig : Will this be down to sci-fi channels usual high standards? Perhaps Hey, now, it isn't "up to standards" unless "the Lou" is in it. Where did he go, anyway? : with the amazing accuracy of History channel thrown in?

I have to say, however, that Ax is very disappointing when it comes down to the creativity of their swearing. Perhaps there is something to be said for a 5th grade education... But, in all seriousness, I have noticed that the milk I buy is no longer in plastic, but back in cardboard. Apparently it is cheaper to make cardboard containers than plastic ones. Which is fine with me, I would prefer my milk avoid as much light as possible. My beer, too... Bruce Signature------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"

At least it will stay rolled up... : i didn't think we would commercially mine land fills until the 2040's.... : make that the end of this decade. I dunno. I KNOW I sent a lot of 8' flourescent tubes to the landfill/dump, each with that special drop of mercury. I always smile when I hear the greenies promoting the use of flourescent bulbs... :-) But, yeah, I expect there are some real "treasures" in the old landfilles/dumps. Question is, what do you do with the rest of the stuff? A quick way to end this scheme is to make the "miners" responsible for safely disposing of the "not so wonderful" bits.

Immediatley the session was closed, cameras turn off and the rest of the hearings done privately. I often wondered what that guy saw. Chemicals from nerve gas production? Lots of chemical companies were in that area back then. Radioactives from the Manhatten Project? We HAVE some of those buried not too far from Love Canal in another township and radioactives WERE used in a local steel mill - without informing the laborers. Or maybe something else entirely; the question is what? I guess we'll never know. on 4/15/2008 10:22 PM Bruce Burden said the following: > : Will this be down to sci-fi channels usual high standards?

It does not wear me. I don't think they try too hard intentionally. There has to be a place for B movies, and SciFi is the place. These movies are important to the art. You have to have women always failling down when being chased, you are required to stop and look back when being chased, you are required to enter a dark room alone and without turning the light on... that is what makes them fun....oh and don't forget the braless girls in t-shirts too. A little something for everyone.

I have a book on the Pearl Harbor attack. There was an incident for which no photo is available, but someone did a drawing of. An element of Zeros strafed Honululu airport and a Hawaian Airlines DC-3 loading passengers at the terminal. Another fascinating thing about the attack, which was verified as true, was that the first Zero started a fire in the DC-3 cockpit, but the second Zero, also strafing the front of the plane, hit a CO2 extinquisher, which then put the fire out! I am intending to do the diorama in 1:144 so it will not be too big. > this movie has all the makings of a great air battle. > > match up a 1/32 Zero and the recent Revell snap together dinosaur.. > > a must see movie for me and the boy this Saturday night. > And a B-29 full of hot babes as well.
