Has anyone seen this IMAX movie?

I was disappointed. Of course, I went in thinking it was a documentary, so
I was looking for better attention to details.

Things like the fake AWACS displays. The napalm exploding *under* the
targeted vehicles (let's just say that when a bomb hits something, more
pieces fly up than fire).

My favorite part was the cockpit shot showing the pilot valiantly whipping
the stick all over the place in a frenzied attack to recover, yet the
attitude indicator was rock solid straight and level.

I'm waiting for someone to pick up on how the entire theme was to watch a
F-15C pilot go through the program. Yet the entire footage is shot of F-15E
jets.

It's playing at the Minnesota Zoo's IMAX Theatre

Hokey story, interesting footage.
It was hyped pretty heavily when it came out last year(?).
Disappointing.

Looked interesting, but think I'll pass on this one 'til it is on
cable. g

While it's not at he IMAX, I can highly recommend "Second Hand Lions"
Robert Duval and Michael Cane

Two thumbs up for "World's Fastest Indian" since we've wandered a teensy
bit off topic. Nicely done movie, great old period scenes and vehicles,
and Anthony Hopkins plays...Highflyer.

My Stars, Stella, haven't seen you around in quite a while.

We went to see "World's Fastest Indian" yesterday and give it an enthusiastic
all-four thumbs up!

And you are right.
Anthony Hopkins did an excellent portrayal of HF!
Thanks for the recommendation.

I really liked "Second Hand Lions", too (as above).
Any movie that starts with a Stearman flying UNDER an overpass can't be
all bad. (According to the "making of" on the back side of the DVD, this
scene was shot "real" (not on a green screen).

Lastly, my date had asked if we could go see "Broke Dick Mountain" because
her "friends" were so impressed with it.
This is the first time I've ever denied her a movie request.
Almost expected some flack from that, but it actually turned out the opposite.

Ya votes wit' yer dollars, folks...

gets us wimmen feelin' tender...

By modern standards, perhaps so (sadly).

But the age old idea of something hot and throbbing between the legs
works just as well - maybe even better?

MOTORCYCLE, gang, motorcycle!

My goodness! And Kerasotes Theatres just sent Mary and I an email letting
us know that our 5 buck movie card is good this week to see "World's Fastest
Indian" and Mary just mentioned to me earlier this evening that she would
like to go see it next week! Thanks for the recommendation! :-)
