Always been impressed with Google's algorithm for ad placement in YouTube.
For example, today I decided I wanted to listen to the theme from The Hunt for Red October (one of the better cold-war books/movies IMHO), so I pulled up one from the Red Army Chorus...look a the ad placement:

Google, Yahoo, MSN, Apple, NYC Wall Street, etc. All far left progressive corps including most other large corps. Yet the left rails against big business, and the media repeats it.

Can I get one too? Maybe a Knights Cross with Oak Leaf Clusters, also? After all this is a new Obama/Progressive Reich in which we live, correct?

Yes, when Ramius sends the Doctor off and tells him that he officers and he will remain with Red October and scuttle the ship.

Great movie. When Alec Baldwin was decent. Then he became a frickin outspoken commie.

Baldwin was the weak link in that otherwise great movie.
And that was before he was Father of the Year for this voicemail that he left his 11 or 12 year old daughter"
"I don't care that you're twelve or eleven or whatever, are you pig enough to pick it up? I'm a good father, and you're a pig. I don't give a shit. Good father. You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you thoughtless pain in the ass? AIDA. Get mad you daughter-of-a-bitch. Get mad. You know what it takes to answer my call? It takes brass balls to answer my call. Go and do likewise. The phone is ringing, you pick it up, it's yours, you don't, I got no sympathy for you. I'd wish you good luck, but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it. You better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me. Pig. Oh, also, tell your mother I said "Go fuck yourself." This is Dad, ring me back when you get a chance."

I think of all the people who have played Jack Ryan, Baldwin did about the best job. Perhaps Ford in Patriot Games.

I agree on Ford. He was also good in Clear and Present Danger.

I guess I was biased against CAPD.
I loved the book...it was the first Clancy book I ever read, and I had to buy a new copy a few years ago because I'd worn out the paperback version thereof!
The movie sucked really bad for people who had read the book. The portrayal of John Clark as a money-grubbing mercenary, and the killing of Dan Murray, made me sick to my stomach when I saw the movie. I remember another person who saw the movie but hadn't read the book that absolutely loved the movie...but I was forever negative on the movie.

I TOTALLY agree. In the late 1980s early 1990s I was commuting into Chicago every day on he train, so I got a chance to read every Clancy book up to that point. (No cell phones, no laptops, so you youngsters would have no idea what to do - now get off my lawn!)
I never saw The Sum of All Fears but I read the book and it was excellent. I understand the movie changed the middle eastern terrorists to Neo Nazi German (I think) White Supremacist, so I boycotted the movie.
I think Clancy's best (and most complicated) book was The Cardinal of the Kremlin. It's probably too tough to follow for short-attention span Hollywood types, so it will likely never be made into a movie.

Completely agree with Cardinal...God, haven't reread that one for a few years, gotta get it back on the list! I think the end of the Cold War killed any possibility of a Cardinal movie, because it was pure cold-war. So was Red October, but made it before the Cold War ended.
I'd also love to see a movie of Without Remorse set back in the Vietnam era, but the John Clark character was so butchered in Clear and Present Danger...
-
Yeah, Clark was the best character in the books. Not so much in the movies. I did like Baldwin in Red Storm Rising, but have a hard time watching it now. Harrison Ford was OK, but I disliked his doctor wife in the movies. She was a feminist turd.
