And they say there is a difference in american and British senses of humor….I think not!

Hey Patterson….don’t believe those ads about ‘discounted Sea Fury parts’ if you see it…

Got the extended version of TTT on DVD this last christmas with the ‘making of’ on it, some great commentary by the american director, like the fact that some of the ships that were made for the scenes of the Jap fleet plowing through the storm (specifically tyhe carriers) were 40 foot long models made to look like the real think and move slowly and ponderously like the actual ships did at full size, then they shot those scenes in the storm on high speed film so that they could be slowed down to make the ships look like they were really struggling through the storm…

In actuality, let us also recall that TTT WAS told from a partial Japanese viewpoint as half of the film was filmed in Japan and sent to America to be blended in with what was shot over here by us Yanks, so it was a collaborative effort, not just an American viewpoint type of movie.

Had computer trouble for a while…seems I inadvertently downloaded Adware and had to have the whole computer re-done for a measly $85…still paying for it, too…

If ANY of you lot’s wit was ANY sharper I MIGHT cut myself in….oh, 5 days or so…

So would anyone care that I saw it on American television not so long ago, on one of those funny video shows? They bleeped deCadenet’s more ‘colorful’ comments after the take off….still fun to see, laughed my ass off…
