Clearly the reaction of the uneducated.

Wow i’m in awe of you …i’m struggling to eat three!!!

It’s a con really. 6 of the pieces are Wings. Usually reserved for the ghetto’s and such, until “Buffalo wings” made it trendy to eat them. Hardly a mouthful on a wing.
There are 6 drumsticks, they are only 2 mouthfuls big. Only the breast bits are a decent size.

Pearl Harbour: When the producer makes one believe he thinks the audience is thick and eats everything is when I beginn to feel someone is ripping me off. We had illiterate pilots, an m-i-a that popped up again out of nowhere (She: “Why didn’t you let me know?” He: “I couldn’t!”), lovers larking about on a highly-guarded troop-transport (the Queen Mary) as if they were on a school playground. This is where I really cringed. In advance we heard phrases of “absolute accuracy” and so on; in the trailers we saw de-mobbed light cruisers from the sixties and seventies being blown-up. Absolute accuracy? My foot! It probably would have come across far better if they hadn’t had made such a fuss about it before it was released.
“Tora-Tora-Tora´” has everything that “Pearl Harbour” lacks.

Well, I wasn’t aware of any fuss about it. As for the de-mobbed cruisers….that’s Rivet counting geekidom 🙂 IMO.
Illiterate pilots, very possible in pre 1941 military.

As I said, it wasn’t a NatGeo documentary, it was a Hollywood entertainment thing…….and in that, it served its purpose.

I do totally agree, All the same Pearl Harbour sucks for me as the story line is just awful. Its been years since I saw Firefox but did like that as a kid, Maybe I should re watch it and see what I think.

Like some guys have said here I too love 633 Squadron I remember many saturday afternoon watching that, I also remember my dad having a LP that had a lot of the theme tunes to films like 633 Squadron, Dam Busters and Battle of Britain. Used upset me Mum playing them at times.

Well, in these films where the ending is known by all, the film makers have to put a human angle on it. A bit of romance….and in the case of Pearl Harbour, one of the prettiest girls I’ve seen on the telly 🙂
Same as Titanic, we all know there is no way a 3rd class pax would even get a sniff of the 1st class dining area etc. but the film was an absolute masterpiece IMO….no matter how many other debates we can have about the “absolute” detail.

Last Wednesday I watched the new “The Day the Earth stood still”. I wanted to hate it, because the original is such an iconic classic.
But, I enjoyed it. I watched it again on my Mp4 player and it was good on that too.

If you want to remain in Geek heaven, then every movie will fail in your expectations.
If I pay money to be entertained, I don’t give a flying hoot if the “Marque 7c of this particular aeroplane actually had 146 rivets around the cockpit, not 200. The producers were clearly LYING!”

Top gun is a great movie.
So is Firefox
So is Pearl HarboUr.

If they are a little lapse with the props (No pun) then who really cares?
If you allow such things to invade your mind whilst watching a film, then you aint looking for entertainment.

On the other hand, when stuff appears on documentary Ch like NatGeo and the like, and they get it wrong….then fair enough, you can let go with both barrels.

I hope that they are being cooked in true Pykie fashion as well, baked in clay over a campfire of stolen pallets, liberally soaked in the contents of diesel filched from the local lorry park, or is that hedgehog.
If Walkers want some wierd flavours, perhaps they should consult with Heston Blumenthal, some of the menus for his up and coming ‘Historical Feasts’ series sound quite exhilarating. How about Roman Trojan Hog flavour, a pig stuffed with sausages, frogs and a dwarf, seriously!!!
Better not hang around the Leicester area if you are of less than average height, or have a green tinge and swim a lot.

No problem!!!
I once ate a 20 piece Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket. So a pig is no problem (Unless it’s one of those 20 foot long factory bred things). On the same day as the 20pc KFC, I had a McShyte for breakfast. That evening, it was like a 12 inch slug.:o

I always ask if they have a moment… then hold an airhorn to the phone, they never phone again:diablo::diablo::diablo:

Don’t have an airhorn. I can shout louder LoL.

Had one tonight actually, it was a sales call but the 6 day old baby was in my arms. I just whispered, in a gentle tone “Please ****** off”.
