The host, chopper master builder, and general media personality Jesse James just commented on a distinct difference with this crew: ” Everybody’s just doin’ their jobs. Nobody’s sittin’ on the couch looking at catalogues, or pointing fingers acting like an expert.” Army discipline in action.

CSI: Crime scene Investigation season 4 is now avaliable on DVD.
On Rob Reiner’s This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Reiner, as documentary filmaker Marty DiBergi, wears a baseball cap embroidered “USS Coral Sea OV-4B” (rather than CV-43). Why is this changed? What’s the joke here?
