I'm not a big fan of Alec Baldwin and I don't generally agree with him but this statement is a load of crap.

There is nothing more American than dissent, IMHO.

Anti-american... that's the line we always get from the right wing goose stepping jack boots who believe that non-comformity is a sin.

Oh... now to get back on topic... if you really want to be impressed with AI and CG, watch LOTR (Fellowship and/or Towers). Notice that the battlefield scenes. Each fighter is individually modeled and behaves independently. Really cool stuff.

the whole Dollittle Raid part was totally out of place.
The only reason to buy Pearl Harbor is to watch it and look for inconsistencies and laugh at it.

The one good thing I saw come out of the movie Pearl Harbar was this......

I have a younger friend and she saw the movie.   She liked it, but found out something new about WW2.

Turns out during her Hish School Education,  They had a section of study on WW2.   During this class, they only had a brief overview claiming Pearl Harbor only as an opening Battle,  No details.  

At the End of Class, They had to write papers on why it was wrong to drop the nuculear Bombs on Japan.  

Her Reaction was this....

"Im Glad we Nuked them Sons of B*tchs"    She had No Idea that the Japanese did a surprize attack or that so many guys died on ships or were burned.    A diffinent Lack in the Education System IMHO.

So, She got a little Education by watching the movie as she swooned to Ben Afleck.    I think it makes it a worth while watch.


{edit}
Oh yes!  I agree very Ironic when seeing the title and poster!

That's why they call themselves "ACTORS."

Alec Baldwin said he would leave the United States if George Bush won the election. All we ask is that the little weasel keep his word and move his sorry bellybutton somewhere else to dessent.

Sandman,

I hear what you're saying and I agree, but (there had to be a but, no? :D)...He threatened to cease being a U.S. Citizen if the rest of the citizens didn't vote like he wanted.  I'd say giving up your citizenship is pretty anti-American, wouldn't you?  :)

You're on to something... Unfortunately, Mr. Baldwin did not forfeit his citizenship. He just threatened to.

Of course, in his fantasy world, he probably thinks that the U.S. voted for Bush simply to get rid of Baldwin.

I think Alec Baldwin was a perfect choice for the movie, in fact, perfect for that particular role. Pearl Harbor is the Mother of all B-Movies. Casting genius like that makes a totally unwatchable movie entertaining on an entirely different level. The difference between just plain bad and too funny bad. If only they had included Hugh Grant (trying to be serious and expand his range) in a fat suit, playing Churchill as he presented Rafe with the VC for saving the Empire.

Speaking of Bad Movies, the annual B-fest (held at Northwestern University) is approaching. You don't have to be a student to attend. Real live MST3K with full audience participation Wolfgang. This year's lineup includes:

Friday, January 24 2003

7:45 Cool as Ice
9:25 Flash Gordon

What kills me is the perfectly non-disfigured GP bomb(s) which pass through the decks of ships and bounce along concrete at 300+ MPH come to rest without even the paint chipped. Then, for drama,  the vane of the tail fuze spins and then stops abruptly (leading one to believe that an internal force was spinning it, the fuze uses wind speed to spin its vane and subsequently arming the fuze) and then a second later the bomb goes into a feiry last.

what do you expect from hollywood?

Munitions guys notice these things, please excuse me :D

You should take revenge on them by inviting them to a beta test.
