I’ve a couple of Star Wars pals who are submariners in the US navy and they haven’t told me stories or anything but they have said we’d all be surprised just how often really fucked up scary scenarios happen in the deep. One likened it to ‘a never ending game of chess underwater but with nuclear weapons.’

Red October conveys that brilliantly.

In a weird way, I also consider The Wrath of Khan a great submarine movie.

Trek is naval warfare in general I think.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

After watching Master & Commander I thought to myself that it was the best Star Trek movie I'd seen in a while.

Considering how badly his films did I don't think he'll ever get the chance to be anything else anyway.
