I did a post on my Facebook blog "West Virginians at War" this morning about Ensign Ulvert Moore and AVRM1C Tom Pettry this morning. Both were from West Virginia and served in Torpedo 8.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I remember experiencing the original where the theaters brought in huge subwoofers they last used in "earthquake".

I'm curious if any recent DVDs of that movie have a dedicated subwoofer track.

Judging by the trailer, the original is still going to be much better. :noid

Is that not the way most, if not all, sequels and re-makes go?

Went to see the movie this afternoon and must say; it was very good...definitely worth the price of admission. Woody Harrelson gave a good turn in of the Chester Nimmitz character. The CGI was well done.

I give it  :aok :aok

The original was the number six movie of the year at the box office.    This thing won’t even break even.

I saw enough lameness in the previews.   

Like it or not, the original was a smash hit.  This thing is a flop.

The one thing I want spoiled: Is the "lovey-dovey" Pearl Harbor level, Original (which I honestly do not recall seeing any.  Can't find my damn DvD of it.), "acceptable"?

The CGI was very good.  A little too much time spent on character development for my taste.  And I kept expecting Woody Harrelson to pick up a glass and start polishing it with a bar towel.   :D
