Well, since you all glommed on to Murdoc, OP-FOR et al, we’ve got to roll out the heavy stuff… And as for the film openings — the sequence from Bridges was part of the opening scene and for The Hunters…umm, well, they do look nice and pretty all lined up for the nice looooong take off roll (yawn)

What type of video are you using? I can’t open them or even tell what they are. It’s probably my problem with firewalls or options or something, but I figured I’d ask.
You-tube — which is more frequently being blocked by govt agencies and corporate world. One of the reasons I’ll put my stuff up over on Google video…

I suppose the Air Force crew could show a clip from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starfighters This film, starring Ace Pilot Bob Dornan, was almost as underwhelming as “Plan 9 From Outer Space”.
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article w Scribe » Valour-IT Challenge: Video Face-Off, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Not to worry – a lot of it was inside ball between the Air Force and Navy teams. Drop me a note offline and I’ll be glad to answer your questions

New data from the Herschel Space Observatory shows that galaxies with the most powerful, active, supermassive black holes at their cores produce fewer stars than galaxies with less ones. Supermassive black holes are believed to reside in the hearts of all large galaxies. When gas falls upon these monsters, the materials are accelerated and heated around the black hole, releasing great torrents of energy. In the process, active black holes often generate colossal jets that blast out twin streams of heated matter. Inflows of gas into a galaxy also fuel the formation of new stars. In a new study of distant galaxies, Herschel helped show that star formation and black hole activity increase together, but only up to a point. Astronomers think that if an active black hole flares up too much, it starts spewing radiation that prevents raw material from coalescing into new stars. This artist concept of the local galaxy Arp 220, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, helps illustrate the Herschel results. The bright core of the galaxy, paired with an overlaid artist's impression of jets emanating from it, indicate that the central black hole's activity is intensifying. As the active black hole continues to rev up, the rate of star formation will, in turn, be suppressed in the galaxy. Astronomers want to further study how star formation and black hole activity are intertwined. Herschel is a European Space Agency cornerstone mission, with science instruments provided by consortia of European institutes, with important participation by NASA.

In any case, back over to you. I think you’re gonna have a tough time sizing up to this one…
That there’s more about Hollywood than real-life.

Go Navy!
Okay dc, now that’s just going too far! Any movie that was on MST3K is unfair.
