I liked that movie. I do remember seeing it at the theater, which I would have been 12, and then more recently seeing it on Netflix. I don't think it's on there now though. Looking forward to hearing what Dave has to say about it.

No kidding? In hindsight I should have done that too.

Blue Underground released this movie on DVD a few years ago and the two disc limited edition has a cool holograph of the Nimitz that vanishes when tilted and lot of great bonus video content. :)

As teenager I used to visit my brother while he was on duty at Letterman Hospital in San Fransisco. He was a lab tech at the Persidio military base. That was more than a couple of years ago :)

And here I thought it was just "the final countdown" to podcast #500!  If not, then coincidentally appropriate.
