You thought this was a facepalm?
Just a few years ago, I think when Obama had his pissy tantrum and shut down things like fly-overs, the CAF had a B-25 participate in a Kyle Field fly-over. They auctioned positions in the aircraft for those willing to bid on such a thing. The nose position, with that all plexiglass view, went for something like $5K.jkag89 said:
Quite a few B-25s were kept around after WWII for training purposes. It was a good aircraft to train new pilots in multiengine planes and also used for teaching of hands on navigation. My father has quite a few hours in the TB-25 (as they were designated after the War) in this role. The B-25 displayed in front of the terminal at Mitchell Field in Milwaukee was actually flown by by dad. He ferried it up from Texas in the late '50s for use by the Wisconsin Air National Guard.
Yes. Still do.

I found Moore's use of the talk-to-the-hand emoji to be a traumatizing micro aggression that may very well take me days to recover from.

Last The Final Countdown mention on this thread, I swear…
Katherine Ross or Kelly McGillis?
I know my answer.

That said, I have zero memory of the main conflict of the movie, I just know it involves Russians.

And in 1999 it became the podrace in TPM.
I remember seeing that at every electronics store for years, especially with the rise of DVDs happening right at that time.
Jurassic Park and the T-Rex first appearance had taken some of the pie as well by that time
Independence Day is the one I remember on all the tvs.

Cliffhanger (1993) was the first audio/video "reference" movie I remember seeing everywhere, in all the stores, on laserdisc. T2 (1991) was another go-to as well, but not as widely displayed because of the R rating.
Then it was Independence Day (1996), but that one was quickly usurped by The Fifth Element (1997), which remained the standard/go-to reference DVD for years. Maybe even more so than The Phantom Menace (1999).

I missed this post. A miniseries is a great idea. Develops the characters more and the story. I think by default, we would be "in" WWII given the attempted attack. The ship is nuclear. So the tech is there. Just use what would be the Manhattan Project scientists and Einstein plus Nimitz crew to develop more. From there would we develop nuclear weapons? Make more jets etc., develop modern computing, the list goes on. Not to mention the medical advances that were on the ship. Our tech would jump astronomically in a very short time. WWII would be over in less than a year including in Europe. But what would be the world in this alternative universe become moving forward?jbanda said:
I feel like the movie didn't have the budget to actually show the attack. The Pearl Harbor attack scenes were just de-saturated shots from Tora Tora Tora.
You'd need a miniseries at minimum if they went through and sunk the Japanese fleet. You'd do that in the first ep and then the rest of the series would be the ramifications. US doesn't enter WW2? No atomic bombs? What happens to Europe?, what happens to the crew? and so forth.
Or, the TVA would just come in and prune it all.

New spot from Paramount. Might be a smidge of new footage or dialog that we haven't already seen or heard, but not much.
I think the end is the only time he's recognizable. You get a lot of Merlin early on, but with helmet and mask.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Was that Tim Robbins celebrating at the end? Either that was his only appearance, or I completely missed him before that.

"You're going to do WHAT????"
Yeah, he's wearing enormous aviator sunglasses and way in the background of most of the scenes (when he's not wearing a helmet), so he's hard to recognize.
He's the one saying they should take out the Russians with wild flowers and power the jets with sunshine.

Apparently they shot over 800 hours of footage. (More than LOTR trilogy.)
King Aragorn ("Strider"): Now you'll also be trained and evaluated by a few Elven specialists. The Elves are here because they are our very best source of information on Mordor. One of the most qualified is our ARWEN, callsign "Evenstar". She is the Lady of Rivendell and she's also an Undomiel, so you do not salute her. But you'd better listen to her because Lothlorien listens to her about your proficiency. It's all yours, Evenstar.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Evenstar: Thank you. Hello. We will be dealing with Eagles as our Fell Beast simulators. Now then, as most of you know, the Eagle does not has the thrust-to-weight ratio that the Fell Beast do. And, it doesn't bleed energy below 300 leagues like the Fell Beast . However, the Fell Beast does have a problem with the Gap of Rohan. It won't go through it because it passes too close to Isengard.
Evenstar: The latest intelligence from Glorfindel tells us that the most a Fell Beast will do is ...
Meriadoc Brandybuck ("Merry") coughs
Evenstar: Excuse me, Halfling, is there something wrong?
Merry: Yes, ma'am, the data on the Fell Beast is inaccurate.
Evenstar: How's that, Halfling?
Merry: Well, I just happened to see a Nazgul do ---
Peregin Took ("Pippin"): We! We ...
Merry: Sorry, Pip. WE happened to see a Nazgul freeze up and refuse to go into a fairly narrow river.
Evenstar: Where did you see this?
Merry: That's classified
Evenstar: It's what?
Merry: It's classified. I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you.
Evenstar: Halfling, I've been alive for 341 years. Lord Elrond sees to it that I know more than you.
Merry: Well ma'am, it doesn't seem so in this case now does it?
Evenstar: So Halfling, where exactly were you?
Merry: Well, WE
Pippin: Thank you.
Merry: We were making for the bridge at Buckleberry Ferry when he rode up on this horse, and then I jumped past him.
Evenstar: Well, if you jumped past him, how could you see him?
Merry: Because I was inverted.
Legolas of Mirkwood ("Prettyboy"): Orc-sheet!
Pippin: "No, he was man, it was a really great move. he was inverted."
Evenstar: You jumped past a Nazgul onto a moving ferry?"
Merry: "Yes, ma'am.
