  18. The best line i remember was when Moore was with her in the escape capsule at the end ... he pays the villain who he just killed and was about to nuke the world a compliment..... he casually plucks the villains champagne bottle out of the bucket and quips " seems i misjudged Stromberg .... a Dom Perignon 52"

  20. oh ..the Airport was renamed " Ben Gurion International Airport" sometime after .. its in Israel , but its known as " Lod Massacre " in the history books.

HDMI High Definition Multimedia Interface ( as an aside most cheapo HDMI cables from China are wrongly wired to save money... they might just about work but crap quality as not all the pins are connected. I know this as i lent a Chinese factory sample HDMI tester to a friend who runs a big subscriber nerdy site on You Tube and he was surprised how many cables failed... the video got around 12,000 hits in the first hour) If anyone wants to waste an hour of their life ill post a link
