I still have yet to introduce mine, but she wants to watch it...so I'm not sure how to go about this...but I've introduced her to Hearts of Iron III, and she watched over the Soviet Union while I was washing dishes.... She's remotely curious about tank combat...and she actually listens to me when I talk about submarines...I think I've a keeper.

Good luck!

Oh...haha...for a second there i thought you meant the yellow plane in yer post. (Piper cub is it?)
If she is anything like my wife , she will say things like , " if they can't see them, why dont they just get behind them and shoot 'em "
....i stare at her with a "Oh, Come on "look.

At least she tries to understand.

she says "I loved it." and remarked that she would love to see it again some time.

she thinks of it as a very emotional movie.

Well done. Sounds like the kind of woman you'd be happy to have around for a bit.

I really must get round to doing this, she's seen bits of it but not the full thing.

You'll never get anywhere if you only show her bits of it.

Oh, she liked it, great! You have more luck regarding war flicks and chicks than me.

The downside is that you now have to dance "the Orange" for her every night

My wife got mad and left when she was sure they were going to die at the Straits. She still doesn't believe me when I tell her they make it out alive.

I promised her they survive it, but she will not believe me.
