All Hail THE THREAD!!!


All Hail THE THREAD!!!

As far as post count goes, consider how long you have been a member and your post count then see when I joined and my post count.

But then again, I do not work nor do I have a wife.

That said, someone find him and force him to watch Midway and Pearl Harbor back to back for days . . .


Finishing up the classic 70s Midway. much better. Even if they reused footage from Tora Tora Tora

Brothers, let's pitch in and keep THE THREAD!!! free from log heresy at the top of the page. This page needs to be relegated to history.

I have to go and get my corned beef brisket started in the slow cooker and do some actual work today. I'd like to see a new page, properly titled when I check back later.


Abandon all Hope.

Its like Game of Thrones last episode. you are doomed

OMG. Midway (2019)

I didn't think Pearl Harbor could be exceeded...and I was wrong......they even managed it without a silly shallow romance sub-plot complete with best friend vying for the same {insert preferred Pronouns} target.

the CGI sucked. but sadly, that was the least of the carnage and I had no expectations there. how hard is it to simulate a ship....vs. a "boat?"

Getting my Vaccine shot now.......and Septuple Masking against future war movie "remakes".

I disagree, nothing beats The Movie Which Won’t Be Named on the Despicable Scale. You can’t beat their rate of historical inaccuracies per minute of screen time.

Plus, well, that whole plot derailment. What do those Japanese aviators have to do with a lackluster love story ?


oh yes they can. That bogus landing scene at 8:00 made me throw up

and I figured us being all enlightened in 2021 the Japanese side would get more screen time. wrong.

so many scene swaps I got whiplash. suddenly a B-26 is kamakazi'ing the Aka

All that being said, I’ve watched Dunkirk a few days ago. Not bad for Hollywood, albeit a couple of errors too.

And, last but not least, how refreshing it is to see a movie without an American hero saving the day, just to appeal to US audiences.


That was because it was an Allied DEFEAT!

Unlike the Battle of Britain which had a Polish unit whose leader became an American after the war . . .


wrong.

They were lulling the enemy into a false sense of security. :)
