Here we go (or here I go more likely).

Horatio Hornblower’s life of a command was a lonely one, and this may be a lonely frak party.

Wow. It’s in Techicolor! Woot!

Adapted for the screen by the author (C.S. Forrester)

okay. I’m here for 10 minutes. Then back again at 8:30 EST.

To boldly go …around the Horn

I love the first three notes. Same as ST:TOS

Awesome (sorry for the short notice).

The Frigate beginning and prisoner escape is soo Honor Harrington too.

Yeah. Punishment time!

So cool that C.S. Forester gets the dedication in the Honor Harrington book 1

The Captain’s explaination is priceless to. It’s all the Lt’s fault!

OOooooohhhhhh. I didn’t see that. I’ll have to check it out.

Hornblower showing his compassion while at the some time showing his rigidity in terms of supporting his officers.

Hey it’s a cranky Chief Medical Officer … a la a Dr. McCoy!

It’s great to see Gregory Peck in another leadership film. 12 o’clock High was awesome.

Awesome. I may need to re-read this books. The whole series has a place on honor on the top shelf of my book shelf

He gets dusted later too. Although we don’t see it (at least I don’t remember it)

I’ve never read it. But this movie is totally makign me want to.

Yeah? I’ve not seen 12 o clock high.

Hmm…I forgot about that.

Hey, I have to step out for 30-40 minutes to go pick up Little Shootette. If you want, you can pause it and I’ll let you know when I’m back.
