If they have a woman in a major part that means the movie will suck.

Or the woman will suck... wait, wrong kind o movie.

Well that depends on whether the woman is in the major part or the major part is in the woman....

Or in your case, the minor part in the major?

How dare you sir! The major and I are just good friends.....

There are indeed movies featuring women in leading roles. As a public service I bring you this:

It only looks like Bob Newhart because it is Bob Newhart. Nevertheless, this particular Bob Newhart movie will likely be better than any proposed Midway movie.

We know Hollywoods likes to 'invent' things in movies, wonder what it will be in this one. How about, the Japanese win?

Isn't Midway an Albatross (Gooney Bird) colony now? Maybe they could have an albatross fly into the prop of a Kate making a torpedo run on Enterprise, sacrificing itself for the promise of a future bird sanctuary. Dr. Doolittle could handle the negotiations prior to the battle.

Midway is mostly a bird sanctuary now, but I believe the big albatross breeding ground is French Frigate Shoals.

There was a documentary series narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch called "Wild Pacific". It was primarily a wildlife documentary, but it was pretty interesting. They spent a fair bit of one episode at French Frigate Shoals and the albatross.

The place is covered over in 'em.

Missed this one. I think because of the forum. If so, from what I know about the movie... Thanks guys.

You owe me one then. That means *you* have to go see the new Midway movie and report back to us. It's the least you can do after [shudders] that movie.

I shall do no such thing sir. Sounds like it could be cruel and inhuman punishment. Although if the cast is good I could possibly get through it.

A Chinese company is involved. Maybe their carrier will come back in time and sink both the Japanese and the American carrier fleets . . .
