What was the name of that movie where a modern US Navy aircraft carrier
goes through a time warp and finds itself in the Pacific on December
7th, 1941?
with the amazing accuracy of History channel thrown in?
For that matter, I wouldn't be surprised to see it on History channel,
in a triple feature with Pearl Harbor and Midway,between repeats of Ax-
men, Ice Road Truckers,and the latest breakthroughs in the search for
bigfoot ;)

oh yeah, but to a 10 year old boy, the SciFi channel monster movies
are the best ever. 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.

Hey, now, it isn't "up to standards" unless "the Lou" is
in it. Where did he go, anyway?

What is wrong with the History Channel that the mute button

Hey, now, IRT and Axmen is interesting. 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...

the premise was so old and hacknyed i didn't bother.
i've read too much scifi. so it's very hard to attract my attention.
most of this stuff i could have written in my sleep.
what made this one stand out?
get rady for the return of the metal toothpaste tube.
i didn't think we would commercially mine land fills until the 2040's....
make that the end of this decade.
I have another diorama idea which features a Zero. 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.
