For stuff like ANPVS 5's I'm sure you are correct. I'll bet they wouldn't even spring for the head bands! But you'd be surprised at what is available from the Russkies. I've seen Russian stuff at gunshows that runs less than two bills. Good stuff, too. Hand held, some of it is a little bulky, but effective.

I was wondering if the cheapie Russkie NODs were any good.

Current releases (must be bootlegs) are being sold TODAY in downtown L.A. by a guy who has been doing it for the last couple years. Spiderman, The Passion, LOTR and now Shrek II as of this afternoon at 1:00pm.

I guess if there is a need, an entrepreneur will find a way. That is a shame for the people who actually created the work and are getting ripped off.

I Saw Star Wars with my wife and unfant son. I Spent most of the time in the lobby with my son

I missed the last half hour of Empire Strikes Back because I had to go out and nurse my fussing 7 month old son Had to wait til a few weeks later to hear "Luke, I am your father"!

Gasquet, California.

I know where that's at. My grandfather lived in McKinleyville. We'd go camping at Patrick's Point and Jedediah Smith.

Wow, cool!

Yeah, she did. She said it was really, really good. You going?

[Rebelbase]

The cheezy gen-1 scope I have would blind you if you took it into a movie theater.

[JenB]

PLEASE tell me where you've heard this about book 6. None of the fansites I've seen have had this?

[Rebelbase]

I used an old pair of Military NOD at the beach one night while fishing.

There was another group fishing about 150 yards away with only a pair of 2" glow sticks on the tips of their rods as a light source. Those glow sticks looked like lanterns when viewing through the NOD.

[Rebelbase]

I saw a sneak preview last week where all people entering the theater were checked with metal detectors and had bags checked. Guards said it was to keep out video cameras.

As a member of the audience... I have to ask. Why would you bring an infant to the movies?

[Allegra]

I never used to condone the whole pirated movie thing, but I'm in the Hinterlands now and it's the only way we have to see current run stuff.

Yep...the pirated movies hit the streets of Baghdad at about the same time they hit the streets of New York or London. Our local suppliers can get them for us. "Troy" is already all over the camp.

And I've gotta see that Potter movie.

I spent several hours perusing

the:http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/reference/index.htm website.

It was a small almost aside comment that Book 6 would be out next June.

Sorry, I didn't bookmark it! If you search on "Harry Potter Book Six" there are several sites where rumors are discussed. Enjoy.
