    Shutter Island. I thought it was pretty darn good. Funny, I like it more and more as I think back on it.

    Sorry LWT, damn, thoughts are like dominoes.

    more experts from around the world will weigh in on this option and detail the risks.

    Let me tell you one thing, Leaving WT. The idea is so goddamed stupid I won't even dignify your question with a proper response. I'm not interested in informing someone why blowing up a massive resivoir with explosives is safe, plausible, or, above all, sane.

    I think you have unrealistically high expectations regarding JWN readership, my friend.

    LOL @ Six. I hope everyone knew I wasn't talking about anyone weighing in, here. I'm referring to the folks keeping the President up to speed.

    For all we know Shamus, it could work.

    Yeah, it was good, love. I don't like decaprio, but he was pretty good in that. I kinda felt like he was psychotic in the movie and didn't know what the real truth was. Particularly the 'rat scene'.

    I'm a novice at this deep well stuff, but I hear no contingency plans if the relief wells don't do the job of stopping the leak. Very risky to use an explosion to try to stop that leak. Still don't think full disclosure has been given on this well.

    I'm completely ignorant on the topic. I was shocked to see the NY Times headline on this.

    Can you just imagine the posters who are most engaged in politics and current events here, showing up on the White House steps with opinions??!! Ohhhh I'd pay to see it!!

    I don't like decaprio

    It was his performance in 'The Departed' that won me over. (Although, his Gilbert Grape performance was epic.) While watching The Departed, I forgot it was Titanic Boy.
