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!

F'yeah!!!

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.

[Plynkes]

[Captain Blood]

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

[Ray Rivers]

have never actually seen the movie.

Shame on you, Richard!

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

[Captain Blood]

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...

[Tom Reed]

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

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

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.
