antp ◊ 2014-05-04 20:34	I completed rberent's contribution, with non-HD pics Note for rberent: when someone says he will add pics, it usually is better to let him do, as it usually means that the captures are already done In this case it is not a big problem, the few you added helped me, and were better quality than mine. -- Last edit: 2014-05-04 20:34:54

And also the planes, that I should have included indeed... -- Last edit: 2014-05-05 10:54:49

antp ◊ 2014-05-05 17:33	2491tj wrote a really poor movie, only worth watching for the military vehicles!. It wasn't that bad. But I was a little disappointed, I was expecting more with such cast. I found funny how each time when Matt Damon speaks French, people ask him to stop (as indeed he is bad at it) -- Last edit: 2014-05-05 17:34:42
rberent ◊ 2014-05-06 00:22	Thanks Antp - I'll get on it. Got a busy flight roster this week. When I get my feet back on terra firma and catch up on sleep, I'll go through the movie and capture them in HD.
