Hehehe, very nice entries both, but the humour in the second entry gets my vote. I don't think it'll make much of a difference though. I love the Mount Rushmore drawing in the background!

Tom, for theme bonus points purposes, is Cutting The Boom a movie reference? (Because if it is, I'm not familiar with the film concerned). Thanks.

Aha. Thanks Plynkes. I thought it might be, but have never actually seen the movie.

Shame on you, Richard!

That is a great movie!  You really owe it to yourself to see it.

Well actually, I think I have seen it, but I was about 14 at the time... A very long time ago!  ;)

Blimey not just a good paint job but a war film I've not seen... off to ebay.

On it's way...

Sorry about that Captain Blood. Yes, Plynkes got it right.
The reference is from the Sand Pebbles, one of my all time favorite movies.

It's not really an action movie though. Only a bit at the end. It's mostly human drama and a study of a dysfunctional ship falling apart, colonialism, racism etc. Bit of 60s anti-Vietnam war sentiment bubbling under the surface too, I'll warrant. The picture is not exactly an exercise in flag-waving, going by the way it depicts the US Navy.

Still a really good film. Dickie Attenborough is in it too, and his storyline is my favourite part. Not too sure about his accent, though. An American would be a better judge of that.

Candice Bergen was young and Hot! McQueen, as always was compeling, the action, as said above, what there was of it, was edge of your seat type, and the human stories told deserved Academy recognition. My fav parts were the Chinese girl and the black-haired sailor's(Can't remember actor, nor character's name tho) story, But Makko as the Chinese crew member McQueen took under his wing was really well done.

The Whole thing was superbly done. Cinematography, Acting, casting, script, all well done.

Tom,
IMO this is your best of the competition.  I really like and would love to game the scenario.

Thanks, I think so too. Somehow everything came together for this entry.
Still working on the scenario so i can hopefully run it at our next local convention.
