Last post by Dr. Whom - Today at 01:38:43 AMI was a kid in the late 70s, and at least in the Franco-belgian sphere, the lost Japanese soldier who kept on fighting was quite the trope in comics. If there was a remote island in the Pacific, you'd be sure to bump into some Japanese.

I'm sure Dalmatian is WyreWizard or DrSimonCowell and I'm almost certain his posts are AI generated.

Good Movies / The Last Flight of Noah's Ark ...
Last post by Archivist - September 10, 2026, 08:17:41 PMThe 2021 movie Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle drew recent attention to the Japanese soldiers who held out on Pacific and SE Asia islands after World War II. Cut off from communication, they did not know the war had ended, and continued their duties, in one case for decades, returning in 1974.

Only six years after in 1980, Disney produced Last Flight of Noah's Ark, a lesser known family movie that came from the same era as The Black Hole (1979), Condorman (1981) and Herbie Goes Bananas (1980). I saw this on the Wonderful World of Disney some time in the 80s. It covers the Japanese soldier story from another angle, that of a B52 bomber carrying livestock that crash landed on one such island. The occupants of the plane meet two Japanese soldiers who are unaware of the end of the war, and they eventually become friends.
Trailer:

They create a plan to get off the island, blowing the wings off the plane and sealing the holes as best they can, and use the soldier's Japanese flag for part of the sail.
Footage:

The Last Flight of Noah's Ark can be seen on Amazon, Netflix, Plex and a few other streaming services. I haven't seen it since the 80s, so it will be fun to catch up with it.

Last post by FatFreddysCat - September 10, 2026, 08:11:12 PM"The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years" (1988)
After examining the L.A. hardcore punk scene in the first "Decline," documentarian Penelope Spheeris returns to the Sunset Strip at the height of glam metal mania. Interviews with elder metal statesmen like Lemmy, Ozzy, and Alice Cooper mix with young hopefuls like Odin, Seduce, and Faster Pu**ycat. A late inning appearance by Megadeth represents the thrash contingent, and they come off as the most intelligent and with-it band in the whole movie, which is ironic since that particular Deth lineup imploded shortly after the film's release due to big time drug/alcohol issues.
"Decline II" is not just a headbanger time capsule, it's a masterpiece of unintentional comedy.

Last post by Archivist - September 10, 2026, 06:53:42 PMFolks of a certain age will never forget Lost In The Desert aka Dirkie (1969). Saw it on TV as a kid in the early 80s and was scarrrred. Not scared, but scarred.

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - September 10, 2026, 05:36:49 PMQuote from: Metropolisforever on November 11, 2008, 04:15:29 PMRumors have persisted that Bush plans to bomb Iran at the very end of his presidency.
The government has denied that they plan to bomb Iran... but they also denied that they would invade Iraq.
Guess what? They DID invade Iraq, and it's very likely that Bush may attack Iran, just before Obama becomes president.
I have a strong feeling that a nuclear war may start with Iran.
Really what this is is basically a silent movie and we are segwaying to a new Teddy. Taking a crap. I am one of those weirdos who believe that morality is still something. Not memorizing how many baseball players are able to speak perfect english, which is a "miracle" based on where they are from — this is the Hawaiian islands in the pliocene and we are waiting for Pat Robertson to get his love Dove head on and get us ready for the new armageddon.
Where I am from. Elongated Skull land apparently. A-Louie, Louie, no, no, no, no. That is a good song by the way, the conclusion is the Queen of the Gorgons is making a comeback. Sergeant Richard Swain fight me! And prove to me that virtual urban warfare is some sort of hasbendish deal, like listening to Jessie Jane Duff talk about brain tumors in veterans. Because you know this Derek dude would be all over it. He can tell you how elongated skulls solved the problem of brain tumors and
Ah, Sturgeons law. 90 percent of everything is crap. Ok I used crap maybe a couple too many times in this post. But I wonder sometimes who would win in a quotes war The Amazing Criswell or Theodore Sturgeon. Because a lot of both of those guys quotes are like common sense.
The Iran War is basically just like the game Killer Instinct. It rises. And then it falls and disappears completely. And then wait like ten or twenty years later and it is resurrected. Ok I will go with Sturgeon's Law. No offense to Amazing Criswell fans afficionados. The strait of hormuz or George Strait. Do people really know or care?
