2010. Liquid methane triggers a series of devastating earthquakes that threaten the planet. Starring: Brendan Fehr, Holly Dignard, Victor Garber. Director Paul Ziller.
Syfy Saturday movie from 12/11.
Well, lets just say that I had about 150 pages to go in my book at the beginning of this, and now I have significantly less.
Although, technically, I first started watching this at least a week or so ago, so I probably had significantly more than 150 pages to go at that point.
Also, it had the dad guy from Alias. And he's a colonel. Army Colonel. Although all of the new digital camo schemes look really dumb, they do allow for easy identification of the branch of service of the particular dude wearing the uniform. So, there's that. ACU does look really dumb though. ABU's not much better. MARPAT isn't as bad, but without wearing any sort of gear (just the BDU pants and blouse), it looks pretty bad. The new Navy stuff looks kinda cool and futuristic. But completely unsuited to the use. (Why would you want camo that is all dark and stuff, when all the boats and ships and stuff are a light gray? Also, wouldn't you want something that is bright freaking orange or Hi-Viz or something? So, if you fell overboard, people could actually see you, rather than you blending in with the water?
So, basically, the equivalent of one sentence of substance about the movie, and then a whole bunch of ranting. Par for the course, no?

Army is abondoning the ACU. Going from MultiCam and MARPAT.
And you know what looks even dumber than ACU?
MultiCam.
You're so mean.
PS, ships decks are dark, to blend in with the ocean, and light on the bottom to blend with the sky when looking up through water. Furhtermore, they have to wear hazard vests when actually on flight deck that are bright fricken yellow and automatically inflate when you hit the water and trigger a light and gps... they don't need their camo is show up, the light on their vest will blind you.
Is that just for carriers? Or does it apply to other ships as well?
I only have second hand knowledge of carriers, but I think it applies to most. I know it applies to most ships.
