Herman walked up behind his wife as she stood on the port of the ship that had bought them from the United States. He put his hand over hers on the railing in comfort, and wondered how she fared. Sophronia looked over her shoulder and smiled at her husband. “Almost there” she said, “Yes,” he...

Hi All, Well, it's been about a year in the making. Well, not really, I have had this bouncing around the back of my mind, but I've decided to have a crack and creating a timeline. I know I'm probably not very good at it, so polite criticism/suggestions are looked forward to. This will...

I think you have to decide which direction you want to take this: In the first instance, Moses was led to free the Hebrews by Yahweh - in which case going against His plan is probably not a good idea; In the second instance, Moses was led to free the Hebrews by his own initiative - in which...

Well, if they'd done that they wouldn't have felt like complete idiots in 2014.

Just my view, and it could be totally wrong, but it doesn't look like the kind of flag the Japanese would design. What period is the Japanese that designed this flag?

That's not what I'm saying. It is A criterion that I judge a movie, and even on THAT criterion I find The Postman a superior film to The Running Man et al. Yet despite that, joe public (who probably DON'T judge on that criterion) judge The Runnung Man (which IMHO is a pathetic movie - bad...

So, to clarrify, the war in the Pacific up until December 7th, 1941 is pretty much the same, but somehow the Japanese don't attack Pearl, and the rest is subsequently avoided? This is rather important (IMHO) because the way Japan acts right up to that point affects everything else. I.e.: If...

It's interesting that you should say this. I'm actually one of thos purists who hate good books being hacked to pieces. "I am Legend" is a great book and an ok movie, but the movie could have been called anything else, because it has no similarities. Same with "the Running Man". The funny...

Well, it is relevant in the same way as people who voted for Gorbachev being more inept than the other three...

No! :eek: Say it isn't true!! You mean to say that you think the IMDB ratings are not a true representation of what people really think? LOL

Yes, I understand that... but if the creators themselves deliberately design and build a 3/10 film... I mean go out of their way to do so... and you think that they succeeded in their efforts, then you have to call it a 3/10 surely? :)

Being 100% serious, but a slight derail of the thread (because it's obviously not the direction you wanted this to go)... IMHO the worst possible 'Pearl Harbor' for the U.S. is the one made in 2001! It just nauseates me that people can try to make money off this episode in history in that way...

Well, according to the IMBD - yes.

Yeah, I guess it's only 5% though, and 10% of people think that Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a 10/10, so...

I'm totally amazed that 8 people think that Gorbachev was more inept than any of the others! I can't see how anyone would call him inept at all, but especially when given the 4 choices, how even if you thought him inept you would consider him any worse than the others!
