CVN-81 to be named the USS Doris Miller on Monday (Possibly the first capital ship named for a black man)

Right, run with that.

Maybe Benny should have done a skit chasing Michael bay through Arlington Cemetery with his big orange plastic bat right across the tomb of the unknowns.

Classless ass.

The poster of the video straight up says it in the comments.

Yet another Pearl Harbor thing. I’m not sorry.

He’s a tasteless troll.

Adjusted for inflation about 1/4.

In any event, box office is not an indicator of quality. Moronic movies have gotten high box offices while good movies have bombed at the box office.

Tora! Tora! Tora! was a much better historical portrayal. Pearl Harbor may have had some fancy effects, but Tora! Tora! Tora! left viewers much better informed of the why’s and whatfor’s of Pearl Harbor.

Hey, smart one, I said in the comments section:

Is “tora” a Japanese word?

It’s better as a documentary/docudrama but it simply never had the same legs.

In Japanese it means “Tiger”.

Did the Japanese know about tigers before the twentieth century?

Tora means Tiger in Japanese.

Most likely since there have been tigers on mainland Asia for several million years.

There’s that, but Japan was really isolated for several centuries.

Tigers are fond in ancient Japanese artwork, they had trade and an expeditionary military force for centuries before the modern Era.

Circa AD 650 and prior they had fielded one of the largest and most technically advanced Navies in world history.

Their closed period pretty well began when most of that navy was destroyed in a massive storm during an attempted invasion of Korea.

For some, how much a movie makes, TV show ratings($$), or some rich person having one good idea that made them wealthy, is a reason for some to think it is quality.

Bizarre.

The buyer generally decides the value.

The list of nomianations and awards speaks to what the “experts” thought of it.

Born on the Fourth of July was a superior war movie.

No one “decides” the value. The value (in the non-economic sense) of a thing is determined by the thing’s nature.

The “value” is whatever we decide it is.

The seller can set whatever price he wants but it’s the buyer who dictates it’s worth.

Half a billion in revenues at the box office alone tells us people saw value in it.

It’s still garbage.

Most of the world seems to disagree.
