Hi all,

I watched it earlier on this evening and I thought it was rather good. Just as a trip down memory lane, as I remember seeing it many moons ago. But in my search to watch it online, I found tons of bad reviews. God knows why, as I thought it was rather good. Apparently the author of the book its based on (Clive Cussler) was a bit pissed off with the screenplay as well. Books are always better than the film adaptations, obviously, but I don't think they did a bad job with this one.

So what do you reckon? I thought I'd share it with you, so if you fancy a trip down memory lane, or you've never seen it before, here you go. I defy anyone not to get that chill down your spine when they raise her with that beautiful music score playing in the background. Or am I just a big softie?

I found that it was one of those films that certainly gives you food for thought. When she comes to the surface, you find yourself thinking wow, wouldn't it be great if that actually happened? Then you think, I wonder if that would be possible in real life? Then there is the moral side of something like that as it was going to be attempted in real life at one point (allegedly), but in the end it was decided to let the ship, and those who went down with her, rest in peace, which I think is the right thing to do, but on the other hand, the historical, architectural & technical value speaks for itself & another moral standpoint is that it should be shared. See what I mean about food for thought?

I think you think too much, mate! ;) Too much thinking can make you blind, you know... :eek: Especially if it involves the actress Anne Archer...!

Well I thought it was alright, and you have to consider the fact it was made in 1980 & they didn't have the technology that we have now. Logistically, they had to cut corners somewhere! Building a few models & painting them up to look rusty is a whole lot cheaper & less time consuming than buying & prepping a real ship. Plus, if they have a balls up on the first take, it's definitely cheaper to use models as a model takes less time to fix or replace & doesn't really need any special travel arrangements. As with most things, there are always deadlines & budgets to deal with, so that has to be taken into account. I think it was a valiant effort!

Just an opinion, mind.

As for Anne Archer, who wouldn't, eh? A threesome with her & Sharon Stone (obviously) would be very nice indeed!
 
Keith, Don might read this, he likes your writing skills.

Have you ever been out with a bird Keith, and when you started chatting her up it got excited and slipped her finger up her Bum ?

No, well I wouldn't try it then!!

There's another classic William Tell story in there, I just know it... come on, Ducky, spill the beans! :cool:
 
I don't know why I've not mentioned this before, perhaps I have, I really can't remember!

Around 1977 I worked in Bishops Lynn for a Rolls Jag garage and one of my regular visits was Sandringham Stud Workshop, Estate Office, just up the road from Anmer and Kate's new pad. This is where the buying was done and where the Horses and Dianna who lived at Snettisham then, and Anne and Philip and Liz all used to Hang.I'd spoken to them all lots of times, mostly Liz who wore a Superman type of Cape and Wellies.

Dianna reminded me of the sticking your finger up a girls Whatsit thing, or in Keith's case, her bum.

Only Kidding no I never did LOL..

But when I went in the Estates Office Bog one morn for a Slash, a typical walk in Slash up the wall communal Urinal type of Royal affair, Phillip was in mid flow, and it's a "FECKING HUGE DICK" !!No that's not it either, getting carried away LOL.

When he saw me walk in "this is really it now, and what Phillip said to me in that bog..

"FECK OFF "

NOT MANT PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT..

Strewth!!

Blimey, I HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING..

No Pom, not many folk can say they've been told to "Feck Off by Prince Phillip" with his Dick out..

I think you missed the irony in my response, Ducky... by about a mile, as usual... :rolleyes:

Anyway, why didn't you tell Phil the Greek "Feck off yourself, ya Greek twât, think you own the place or summat?" :D

Either that or nudge him so he peed all over his shoes... :)

I bet you just tugged your forelock and backed out of the bogs, muttering "Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir, cringe cringe, fawn fawn..." :p

Wow! That really is something! Hang on a minute, he tells everyone to "FECK OFF". Perhaps not with his dick out. :D

I think he might get a gong in the New Years Honours list for saying that Phil had a "fecking huge dick". I'm surprised the media haven't pick up on this. :)

I thought Phil the Greek had simply recognised Little Willy, and called him a fecking huge dick... :rolleyes:
