    Hmm…need to see moar.

    Definitely need to see more. I still think she’s too skinny to be a believable Catwoman.

    The first one, the teacher, is absolutely hot. Makes me think of the old ABBA song, “When I Kissed The Teacher”. :woohoo: :silly: 😛 :laugh:

    Actually an official Air Force records review in 2006 confirmed the loss of 25 bombers to enemy aircraft being escorted by the Tuskeegee Airmen, though one surviving member claims his review of the records does not show that as does one other guy who worked at the national defense university. Still impressive considering in some raids bomber squadrons were losing that many in a single mission.

    The HBO movie “The Tuskeegee Airmen” was quite good, though was “Based on a true story” and some characters were composites and not actual fliers. I;’m going to hold off getting too excited for “Red Tails” until I see some more footage.

    It’s good to see some interest in World War 2 exploits, too bad even after 70 years the United States Pacific Submarine Force is virtually unknown to anyone. They carried the war to Japan for two and a half years before the surface navy went on the offensive and they did it with poorly tested defective weapons, ill conceived tactics and far too many unfit commanders. It would be nice to see something about the 442nd Infantry Regiment too, the only all Japanese American combat unit and still the highest decorated unit in United States military history.

    The submarine story would be hard to do, since they were a “solitary” action, individual subs working autonomously. Plus, there’s no real “Rah-rah” moments that would get the audience cheering.

    As for the 442nd “Nisei” Division, there was a movie about them made back in 1951, “Go For Broke!” with Van Johnson. He played their gaijin commander but the film starred a lot of actual 442nd veterans.

    I’m just really happy to see “Red Tails” finally make it to the screen. Lucas has had this movie in the works since before he started on the Star Wars prequels. Film and military fans like myself were beginning to wonder if he’d actually ever film it. Even after he finally committed it to film, there still were doubts of it coming out, since it was actually filmed over 2 years ago.

    The announcement a month ago of it coming out January 20th, 2012 was a total out-of-left-field surprise to everyone. It was one of those “Well, Star Wars will be out on BluRay soon, the live action Star Wars TV show is on hold, we’re still working on Indy V and, oh yeah, by the way, “Red Tails” in coming out in January.” kinda things.

    Here’s the ling to the trailer on Yahoo

    I’m waiting to see how they justify that Iowa class ship being in service :p

    Probably the way Starblazers justified resurrecting the Yamato. Its a fictional science fiction movie.

    You know, it is supposed to be based on the game? So something has to be incorporated from it. Besides, you don’t know what those things do when they embed themselves into the ships.

    All I know is, when this sucker comes out, hearing an Iowa class battleship let loose with a full broadside in a theatre with a kick-butt sound system will alone be worth the price of a ticket. :woohoo:

    Felt the same way when Kroch’s and Brentano’s closed in downtown Chicago back in the mid-90s. The place had every conceivable magazine you could ever want, and if it wasn’t there, it didn’t exist.

    What made K&B great was the paperback department downstairs was HUGE, and their science department was fantastic. Also, if they didn’t have a book they would order it, or, if out of print, they’d do a dealer search.

    Last of the old time bookstores.

    Damn, I don’t have any place to go for the more obscure magazines I read, like Top Gear, Car, Military History Quarterly and Strategy & Tactics. It was also one of the few places, outside of hobby shops, that carried FineScale Modeler and Scale Auto Enthusiast.

    Crap. 🙁 :unsure:

    Not sure. I thought this was the one that married a hockey player, but have to do more research to confirm it.

    She was either married or living with some sort of sports guy and got arrested for beating the crap out him.

    Back in the day, as a friend from then would say, I wouldn’t kick her outta bed for eatin’ crackers. :laugh:

    I still remember her dancing across the hoods of those 2 Jaguar XJ Series 3s in “Here I Go Again”. I loved how she drags Coverdale out of the drivers seat and into the back seat. Not an easy thing in a car with that low of a roof.

    And when she stretches out that one long leg across the car and in front of Coverdale’s face….. :woohoo: :kiss: 👿

    Just a follow up on this. To show how thin Kate and Pippa are, they are inspiration on anorexia sites.
