I was ridiculously excited to visit this ship in real life.

www.goodreads.com/book/show/62... this is a good read about that ship

not a lot about her fine sailing qualities in there tho

Jack Aubrey would not like that

HMS Surprise CANCELLED for handling like a Dutch-built herring bus

! is it still in San Diego? I gotta make a pilgrimage

It was in 2020! A great little maritime museum, the Cold War Soviet submarine is unbelievably cramped and claustrophobic.

I was so miffed that the screening was already sold out by the time I found out about! But glad that a 4K disc is forthcoming 🥰

it was so fucking sick. best audio mix I’ve heard in my entire life

1000% yes - I have never been so thrilled to be under heavy cannon fire

I worked with a guy, who got fired eventually, who was a big Washington Commanders (NFL team) fan. He's a typical straight white male and he said he loved the name change because a commander reminds him of a white man like Russel Crowe rather than "one of them natives" I never talked to him again

looks like they're battlefields now, those oceans.

The way M+C loves its characters without judging them is magical. As if it's saying, "These men lived, suffered, and cared for each other, and that is enough."

god I love this movie (the books are great, I wish Russell Crow had made like ten of them like they did with the Horatio Hornblower adaptation)

Quick's the word and sharp's the action!
