I don't know if anyone has seen this, but there is a new trailer for Pearl Harbor. I would post it as a link, but I don't know how. Here is the address:

It really is starting to look very interesting. Looks like Anthony Hopkins is playing FDR.

p.s. I wasn't sure if this should go in here or O club. If it is wrong, sorry (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yes you did see the Doolittle Raid. In fact, they filmed part of this movie in Corpus Christi TX...home port of the USS Lexington. I was there a few months ago after they did all the filming there and the gentleman in the museum library on board the ship told me that they actually flew several B-25's off the deck of the Lexington to shoot some scenes for the movie. Incidentally, the Lady Lex also played the role of a Japanese carrier in the film also. They fixed her up to look like a Japanese carrier and flew a few Zeros off the deck. Man I wish I could have been there for the filming. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I watched some of the filming. They did 3 days worth of shooting about a block away from my house. It was nice to watch the P-40s and "Zeros" play around. One of the Vals they had managed to clip a palm tree and was pretty much totaled. Turns out the pilot was a woman <G>. The Zeros were mock-ups, not real A6Ms.

A Band of Brothers looks excellent too.
I think it is a 10 part series on the 101st Airborne in WWII. Tom Hanks directed a few of them. I think they are due to release this fall.

PS: Had info from someone I know @ Disney, who told me this movie should not have songs and verry little "pink" in it... we'll see...
