Atomic Train (1999)
"Improbable" isn't a strong enough word
For a reality check, please digest these facts and compare them to the fiction of this mini-series:
**Nuclear weapons are no longer transported on trains in the U.S.
**Nuclear weapons are never armed when transported.
**Nuclear waste and nuclear weapons are NEVER transported together.
**Nuclear waste is transported in containers designed to withstand extraordinary external challenges (i.e. fire of 2000 F, impact of a locomotive at 80 mph, water immersion, sabotage, etc.).
**In the past 30 years, nearly 3,000 shipments of used nuclear fuel has been transported safely via highways and railways in the U.S., as have more than 45 million packages of radioactive materials.
**Eight containers have been involved in transit accidents. All remained intact with no release of radioactive material.
**The first priority of federal, state and local agencies who regulate shipments of radioactive materials is the safety and welfare of the public.
The Flintstones (1960)
Goodbye to a very nice lady
Two years ago I was shopping for flowers in San Clemente, California, and there was an elderly woman being waited on as I entered the store. The sales associate behind the counter said "Come on Jean, say it for me again." I heard her say in a most familiar voice "Frrrreddd". No doubt about it. This was the voice of Wilma Flintstone! I introduced myself and we had a pleasant few minutes chatting. It was a nice moment.
Sadly, I just read that this same woman Jean Vander Pyl passed away today. She and the cast of the Flinstones gave much pleasure to those of my generation so many years ago. This was such a fun show that will live on in syndication.
Baby Geniuses (1999)
Save your money....
I took my son to see this movie, not knowing anything about the story. As a parent who cares about what goes into my children's brain, I cannot recommend this movie. For a "G" rated flick, the language was not appropriate and the adult sexual innuendos are going to be over the kid's heads. Pass on this one folks. There's much better entertainment to put in your children's brains.
