Saw it last weekend at Eisenhower in 3D. Lead character is Daisy Ridley. She is 23 and was wonderful to watch.

Prolly going tomorrow. Saw Hunger Games II this evening. Maybe watch the Martian Sunday on demand.
Good to hear that DoubleD is trying to trim down

New characters were great when mixed with familiar faces. Yes I am one of the millions who like BB-8 too. Daisy Ridley, yes she's a keeper. J.J. Abrams went a long way to undue all the wrongs of last three and put them in the review mirror for good.
And Carrie Fisher's plastic surgeon needs to find another line of work.

My brother-in-law-in-law (my brother in law's brother) was the top marine on the Ike when it was a copter/Harrier ship. But the recent refit was a major change. Neat video, Dave.

Quote:
![]() Sure about that? The Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) is a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier commissioned in 1977, and has never been one of the Marine assault carriers (LHA, LHD, or LPH). It also appears to be the first ship of that name in the navy. He could have been a marine on board (they did carry a small unit in the past). ed

Sounds like he could have been the top one in a small unit.
Need to surpress marine/ small unit joke urges, especially sine this BBS is full of Porsche owners...

Yes, I was wrong (again). I just spoke to him--it was the Essex (5th ship of that name), at the time a brand-new ship (maiden voyage and all). He said it was really neat, with everything brand new. He has hardly small potatoes on the boat - my nephew went on a Tiger Cruise with him and I remember him describing Bill's 3-room suite with an extra bedroom for his aide.
As a Wasp-class ship, it is quite a bit smaller than the Ike...but still bigger than my Force 5 was.
