OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Unstoppable?
« on: December 13, 2010, 09:46:25 AM »
I was going to write something smart-ass like "...please, before it kills more."  But it is an exciting movie, even if you saw the John Voight "Runaway Train."    (I watched the Voight movie on a plane decades ago, so I absorbed about 45% of it.)  No plot.  Just watching a half mile long unattended train barrel through some of the ugliest scenery in the United States, and the half-assed ideas that the executives come up with to slow it down before it destroys Stanton, Pennsylvania.  But when they show us scenes of Stanton the thought pops up in your head, "Why bother"?   Good old fashioned heroics by the rank and file, showing up the bosses.  This is one that belongs on a big screen.  I wouldn't wait for TV or watching it on a plane.  (I went to this rather than watch the Patriots and the Bears.  Good plan.)
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)
