    Kill Bill Vol. I
    This or Mystic River.

    Kill Bill has a high entertainment per brain cell required quotient...not as high as ROTK but right in the comfort zone. I seem to watch at least parts of it a couple of times per year.

    Master and Commander made you feel like you were on the ship. Imagining what that would have been like.

    ROK in most years, but come on, M&C is just crazy good. When ships were wooden and the men were steel. Hardcore shit. A sea battle with cannons at 50 yards is about as intense as combat can be. I'd take a foxhole over a broadside any day.

    We? are an independent country because French ships of the line actually won a YUGE battle against the Royal Navy.

    Changed my life more than any other movie. Helps that this is a pretty shit year for choices (with the caveat that I haven't seen the movie that's winning).

    I've always sort of pictured @RaceBannon as the HOLD FAST guy. He's still alive. Holding fast works I guess.

    Das Boot is really the only other naval warfare film to me that really made you feel like you were on the ship.
    The depth charge sequences were straight up pulse pounding.

    edit: Top Gun made me feel like I was there.

    @RaceBannon you may already be aware but for the price of admission to the Star of India, you can also venture on the Master and Commander ship used in the movie. I took the kids there back in 2019 to do what I did as a kid.

    Hold Fast is what @swaye used to tell all the young sea-mens.




    Any of you guys take advantage of the Mighty Mo tours when it was in Bremerton? To walk where the Japs surrendered was pretty cool for a kid. And we called them Japs back then too. And Krauts.

    I've read about half of the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey-Maturin books, enjoyed them all. Couldn't vote for ROTK since it was too long, bloated, oh look Peter Jackson wants to play army, and even without the Scouring of the Shire there were still too many endings. Sappy Elrond still pisses me off nearly 20 years later

    Come on! Legolas and Aragon did some damn fine posing and the giant elephants and ghosts were so scary but cute too!

    I've driven off the stern of the MO and NJ in a ski boat back in the late 90s when they were still at Bremerton. More on this in the history bored I think.

    Of course. My old man loved taking out-of-town visitors to see the Mighty Mo. Then hop on the ferry and go to Seattle to eat at the Spaghetti Factory or Ivars on the pier. People loved that shit. I thought it was pretty awesome, too. The guns on that ship - and the decks. Incredible.

    Xanadu was a real step down for Michael Beck.

    I tried watching xanadu years ago and couldn't get through it.

    Went on the Missouri in Bremerton somewhere around 1975 as a kid, then took my kids to the Missouri at Pearl Harbor in 2013. Last week my 18yo reminded me how stern I was at the Arizona Memorial about maintaining proper respect
    I can remember sitting in a chair somewhere around the bridge of BB63 back in 2011 on a Gray rainy morning looking out over turrets of the Arizona. There’s nothing like it so far as a naval history site is concerned.

    My grandfather was on the Might Mo. I have a Japanese flag from one of the ships that surrendered and then gutted in the Puget Sound. I will take a pic next time I’m rummaging in storage and post it on the History board.

    Seabiscuit is a freak of nature. Red Pollard was an oversized jockey. This pair should have never worked but somehow did. Probably not the best but I love horse racing

    This fleet sat across from the Olympia Country Club. Carl Johnson who is quoted was a big shot at the club
