I don't get the Sky Captain thing with Australia. Someone tell me. -- nm - Mop Nov 13, 14:59 9

  - [deleted] 3
    - He asks what it was. I told him what it was - Mr. Havens Nov 13, 15:28 2
      - [deleted]
      - The one thing I've seen about Australia that I like is the old-style black and white australia map screen in the trailer. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 15:32
- It has to do with the style of cinematography, in my opinion -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 15:03 2
  - I don't buy it. There's a couple of CGI scenes (airplane flying, sail boat in front of burning ships), but the rest is wide open expanses. - Mop Nov 13, 15:05 1
    - It's just my opinion. I haven't seen either film, only the trailers. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 15:11
- i don't either, except for pretty leads? sky captain felt more campy sort of, not epic-y. -- nm - b! Nov 13, 15:01

  - [deleted] 1
    - Nah, unless his signature has changed. Doesn't look like the one I have. -- nm - the liioulu with junk Nov 13, 15:52
- Hint former Met: though probably not remembered for his time with Mets. (nm) - musubi Nov 13, 15:16 11
  - Scott Kazmir -- nm - Subversive Nov 13, 15:22 7
    - He was a Met? Did they let him go in free agency or something? -- nm - David Nov 13, 15:39 4
      - Kazmir was the Mets' first round draft pick in 2002, but was traded to the Rays before he made his professional debut - Mr. Havens Nov 13, 15:43 1
        
        Hmm... one future Cub was involved. - the liioulu with junk Nov 13, 16:08
      - I don't think so, but I'm sure they got good value for him when they traded him. -- nm - Subversive Nov 13, 15:40 1
        
        Of course. No one would be foolish enough to trade him for a mediocre return. -- nm - David Nov 13, 15:58
    - Did I kick your dog or something? (nm) - musubi Nov 13, 15:24 1
      - Ummmmm, is it Scott Kazmir? - Subversive Nov 13, 15:35
  - Nolan Ryan -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 13, 15:19 2
    - Good guess, but nope. (nm) - musubi Nov 13, 15:22 1
      - Your clue isn't much of a clue. There are so many players who were once Mets who either came from or went on to bigger and better things - Mr. Havens Nov 13, 15:27
- Chico Escuela -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 13, 15:03
- Andy Ashby? - Subversive Nov 13, 14:59 3
  - Alan Ashby -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 13, 15:05 2
    - Good tries, using context, but the AA in the jpeg name doesn't signify anything. (nm) - musubi Nov 13, 15:08 1
      - He said he couldn't think of another ballplayer with the initials AA. I just gave him one -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 13, 15:09
- Mel Ott? -- nm - amoxy Nov 13, 14:57 1
