    Transformers... how about it?

    I won't mind seeing this at all! Looks like a fun romp full of escapism. People better not have problems with CGI since there isn't a movie out there that doesn't use it. Even in titles with that schmuck Hugh Grant flouncing around the screen they make all sorts of backgrounds with CGI...

    Enemy at the Gates

    Cookie, yeah I saw this one recently again from Netflix. Interesting dramatization and plausible script from a take on actual events.

    Shooting a pistol

    I used to shoot in the one handed, head at 90 degrees aiming position like everyone did. On the pistol range whether with 1 or 2 hands you get fatigued in the position and either changed hands or changed from 2 to 1 hand position. I did a lot of shooting .45s with one hand in the Marines. I...

    Can't Wait To Be 50

    I appreciate the intention Gibley, I do. But for me I have had cancer diagnosed- and killed it twice in the past 3 years. And associated with it I had urinary tract surgery and will seemingly have plumbing problems in that area till I die. Due to that I can't work so I have no income but am...

    My largest vintage purchase so far!

    Hey Cherry Red, some of my family is from Ft. Smith. What street is that house on? I used to live on Bradley. My aunt and uncle still live on P St.:)

    Two Rivals - You choose!

    Go for the VW. As has been said an endless number of times- don't own a French car unless you're in France!:o

    Kamikaze remembered

    http://www.presstelegram.com/search/ci_6329375 I like the idea that they're remembered in a positive way.

    Can't Wait To Be 50

    At 59 there is nothing, from my experience, that is good about being that old, nothing.:(

    Any writers?

    I write historical combat pieces mostly from WW2. I encourage anybody that has the desire to write in any genre to do so.:)

    old neighborhood bars

    Oh, and in St. Louis and other eastern cities you could buy package liquor over the bar too...for the road I guess.

    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    Easy. Send me back to 1938 as a young man so I could get flight training before WW 2 began and I could get into a fighter squadron.

    Dramatic Pearl Harbor photo

    I was flying in a S2N biplane over the Long Beach/L.A. harbor a few years ago and was immediately struck with how easy it was for ther Kates to launch torpedoes against stationary targets and how large those targets were. The cargo ships docked while approached at 120MPH- close to the same as...

    Original Special Effects

    Benny- so true. I was once fortunate enough to be associated with a little classic movie group that invited Merian Cooper and other principle creative people on King Kong to a showing. He wanted to make the movie longer and, hold onto your purist B & W butt, he wanted to make it in color...

    Twilight Zone Marathon on SciFi Channel

    The one that ran just before the Maple Street episode was a similar tale of the one family who had a bomb shelter and how the neighbors busted in during a false alarm. They were ready to kill each other to get in! Humans descend from hominids which all had violent natures. It's inbred.[huh]

    Apple iPhone

    If I may ponder a moment I wonder how gullable we are as consumers? As each techno wonder hits the streets the marketing departments of these various manufacturers seem to be convincing us that this next thing is the thing we really need and not all the stuff they told we really needed before...

    How to travel with hats

    Like most I rest it on a knee or a foot. It's not a problem really.[huh]

    If you only had one old rifle, which?

    Doug C if you want a historic-type ex-mil rifle there is no end to what you can find for generally reasonable prices. My Mauser K-98 was rechambered for .30-06 which greatly makes ammo acquisition easier and cheaper. The Garrand is still obtainable though more expensive. Anything in .30-06...
