This was a 70ft work vessel used by Mel Fisher's divers and it sank without loss of life, due to hull deterioration. The bombing and hurricanes have taken their toll she is now just a shape of a ship on the seabed. It is in this area we will show you a couple of ship wrecks, the first of which is a World War II Destroyer Escort, the "Patricia." She was intentionally sunk by the U.S. Today this is still an active treasure site with regular finds of huge Spanish Emeralds. It is here that the famous treasure salver Mel fisher found the treasures of the Spanish Galleons "Atocha" and "Margarita."

The water goes down to 30 feet deep and you will be flying over an underwater desert. Coral atolls are usually volcanic in origin and are found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, there is some speculation this Atoll was caused be a meteorite impact, however it is more likely this Atoll is just naturally occurring shaped by wind and wave action.īeyond the Marquesas Islands lie the "Quicksands."

Marine life can be spotted anywhere along the flight route but these shallow waters make spotting marine life easy. This area is part of the National Marine Sanctuary and is a very sensitive eco system, teeming with marine and bird life. This is a body of very shallow water only 3-5 feet deep, extending almost 20 miles. Just west of Key West, we fly over an area known as the "Flats". Immediately after take-off, you get a birds-eye view of Key West and the historic downtown and harbor area.

On earbuds, Bluetooth headphones and speakers, built-in laptop and phone speakers, and car stereos, they can sound good enough. To most casual listeners, MP3s sound just fine. The MP3 format compresses CD files to one-tenth of their original size by cleverly removing much of the data that the program deems to be inaudible and superfluous. The MP3 format was developed during the period when computing devices had tiny hard drives and home and mobile internet speeds were extremely slow. Obviously this is possible now with the ubiquity of high speed internet access almost everywhere. Instead of streaming lossy and compressed MP3 type files, they are offering digital CD quality and higher resolution streams. I can’t imagine where things could go next.Ī few companies have tried to differentiate themselves from the mainstream services by offering higher quality music streams.

I started with the Sebenza and years later was fortunate to eventually be able to purchase the XM-24. I say both the Sebenza and XM-24 are great knives to have. the individual who answered the telephone was very helpful and knowledgeable.Īlso, I've yet to use Chris Reeve Knives' "Spa Treatment." I have Sebenzas as well as some of his fixed blade knives, and if they ever require servicing, I certainly plan on giving them a call. Now, that said, I did call Hinderer Customer Service on one occasion with a question regarding the hex bit that came with the Strider Armorer’s Tool. Overall, I was satisfied whenever I called Chris Reeve Knives. in fact, on a couple of occasions, either Chris or his wife, Anne, answered the telephone when I called. In terms of customer service, I've really only dealt with Chris Reeve's Customer Service. The XM-24 is a great design as well and you can purchase a Strider Armorer’s Tool (separately) for taking it apart. The Sebenzas I've purchased over the years come with a hex wrench for taking them apart for cleaning. Personally, I find the design of the Sebenza to be more practical, functional, and very ingenious. yes, I know that's part of the charm of a thumb stud, but it's a charm I personally don't care for. ![]() when I tried EDCing these knives in my pocket (especially the Sebenza), I found that their thumb studs tend to catch my pocket and accidentally deploy. I mention sheaths because that's how I carry these knives. If you know a reliable knife sheath maker, you can have a sheath made for the XM-24. You can purchase a leather sheath (separately) made specifically for the Sebenza from Chris Reeve or from a reliable knife store that carries Chris Reeve products. The XM-24 is very robust, built like a tank, and also impressively durable. The Sebenza is elegant, light, yet impressively durable. the XM-24 is larger than the XM-18 and comes closest in design to the XM-18).īoth knives are outstanding in design, practicality, and function. ![]() I have the Chris Reeve Large Sebenza (in different steels) and the Hinderer XM-24 (in different G-10 scale colors. ![]() Miller's cross-platform plan was ambitious in addition to the film, which would have drawn inspiration from Japanese anime, he planned an action-adventure video game tie-in. It's a path that had been taken by several other expensive sci-fi franchises, including The Matrix and The Chronicles of Riddick, but unlike those direct-to-DVD installments, Miller intended his hard-R animated Mad Max to get a full theatrical release. With so many logistical problems related to the filming of Mad Max 4, it's hard to blame Miller for his next proposed evolution of the franchise: a 3D animated movie partially based on his script for Mad Max 4. Comics' Justice League.) By early 2006, Mel Gibson was distancing himself from the new Mad Max, calling himself "a little long in the tooth" to reprise the roles that defined his early career, like Max Rockatansky and Lethal Weapon's Martin Riggs. (There were also rumblings that Miller's interest in the project was derailed by the possibility of helming a movie based on D.C. By 2003, Mad Max 4 was set to film in Namibia, but again, global turmoil got in the way the location was deemed a security risk, and the project was shelved once again. Unfortunately, the film's start date was repeatedly derailed for financial reasons stemming from 9/11 as the American dollar collapsed against the Australian dollar, shooting in the outback became a budgetary impossibility. machine as opposed to violence against humans." "The majority of confrontations in Mad Max will be confined to machine vs. representative in a 1995 interview with Variety. "While we are being faithful to the original movie premise in our television adaptation, we are sensitive to issues of violence," said a Warner Bros. began developing a Mad Max TV series that would have continued down that relatively bloodless road. (The PG-13 rating didn't help.) But a decade after Beyond Thunderdome hit theaters, Warner Bros. The third Mad Max movie - 1985's Beyond Thunderdome - is commonly dismissed by both critics and fans as the weakest and most diluted entry in the series. He just needed everything else to fall into place first. But despite this unlikely career evolution, a browse through decades of Hollywood history reveals that Miller has been ready to return to Mad Max for at least 20 years. ![]() And it's pretty much my idea of a perfect film.Despite the long gap between releases (and the personal troubles of original star Mel Gibson), the Mad Max trilogy has retained a devoted following - so why did Fury Road take so long to hit theaters?Īs it turns out, it wasn't for lack of trying.įollowing the release of the Mad Max trilogy, director George Miller helmed The Witches of Eastwick and Lorenzo's Oil, then took a hard left into children's films with Babe: Pig in the City and the Happy Feet franchise. ![]() Overall, though, this is a film not about the people, but the Namibian desert landscapes, the modded vehicles, the speed, the violence, the overall thrill of the chase. I loved the way that the bad guy is played by Hugh Keays-Byrne, who was the villain in the first MAD MAX all those years ago. Even Nicholas Hoult in support is fantastic. As many have commented, Max is often a supporting player in his own film, but Charlize Theron as the real lead is excellent too, so that's not important. Tom Hardy feels like an obvious fit for the role and brings some working class style charisma to the part. This is the kind of film you watch to see stuff that's never been done before. With bad direction it would have been a real chore to sit through, but instead we get tons of suspense, great fight scenes, and incredible spectacle. Exemplary cinematography and quite wonderful direction is what makes this work. It's one long chase film and the amazing thing is how they manage to sustain the momentum for a good two hours. I know that some will hate it the story here is action and action alone and there's little else to get in the way. Now, I love THE ROAD WARRIOR and always will, but MAD MAX: FURY ROAD truly is an action film for our times. It feels like the MAD MAX film that George Miller always wanted to make, and in many ways it's a virtual remake of MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR, except with a grossly inflated budget and CGI effects used to enhance rather than dominate. MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the finest piece of pure action spectacle that I've watched since THE RAID 2 and JOHN WICK. ![]() “People will swear they are happy, but they really aren’t. ![]() If you want to call me a bitch because of it, feel free to do it.” – by Madonnaġ6. “I’m strong and determined and I know what my goals are. “There are times when women have to be bitches in order to get what they want.” – by Madonnaġ5.
