Spence Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Re: Zeppelins Have you seen the trailer for the movie "Sucker Punch". Not sure if the movie will be any good, but the trailer does show Zeppelins and burning crashing Zeppelins. If it has Zeppelins it has to be good right?

tkdguy Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Re: Zeppelins Maybe, although I notice whenever a movie has Zeppelins in it, 9 times out of 10 the dirigible ends up getting destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see that movie--it has Hero written all over it. But I don't see how the film can live up to the trailer, which gets my vote for one of the best movie trailers ever made.

I am enjoying the idea of seeing a great movie.

tkdguy Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Re: Zeppelins FYI, according to the website calendar, the airship will be touring several cities across the USA for the next few months. I don't know if each stop will have tours available, since they only stay in most cities for only a day. But you may be able to catch a glimpse of the zeppelin flying overhead. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for any news about this. Flight Calendar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrito Boy Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Re: Zeppelins I know a blimp is not a zeppelin but I don't think there's a blimp thread and there's humanity involved in this story: http://www.insideline.com/car-news/goodyear-blimp-catches-fire-crashes-in-germany.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexMundi Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Re: Zeppelins Great Pic ......best I can follow up with it this.....

RexMundi Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Re: Zeppelins Really? I see them just fine, but just in case I screwed something up with my Neanderthal level computer ability, I shall toss up the link too..... http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/10/18/avengers-movie-helicarrier-designs-leak/ ~Rex....says he's not sure it will actually look like that because the Costume Concept art has a Helicarrier in the background and it looks more, Tony Stark-ish, and less Cool as all Hell LTA design that is being statted out for his game right now..... http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimages/avengersassemblebig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrito Boy Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Re: Zeppelins Oh the...what, nobody was hurt? Hmmm. Hey, I got it: Oh, the blimpanity. Yeah, not quite the same. Still, great news that nobody was harmed in the making of this blimp crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Re: Zeppelins In general I think blimp crashes are not very interesting now that they are not filled with flammable gas. Intact blimps are more fun to watch. I can't think of any other vehicle type for which this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
