adoption problems.

I just looked. The thing that got me was I kept expecting the Stargate SG1
people to jump through a wormhole. (You did listen to the music, right?)

Yeah, I noticed that. A bit distracting, wasn't it?

I kept thinking "I know that music from somewhere" but I never figured
out where.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I thought that this looked like the Game "Crimson Skies"
Also I did think that Ms Jolie was too young looking for the age of
Harrington after she lost her eye even with prolog

Sure, but it's all inspired by the same 30's pulp.

Isn't HH supposed to look like a teenager because of the prolong treatments?

Anyway, I'm not trying to start a casting thread here. I was just struck by
the strong overt resemblance between the image of Jolie in the trailer and
the portrait of HH on one of the book covers (which seem to me to ignore the
Asian component of HH's ancestry).

Dude! Michael Jackson has a strong overt resemblance to Honor on one
of the Covers! lol

  She's 3rd generation prolong... even at, what, 50? she shouldn't
look much older than Jolie's actual age.

  I just can't picture Honor Harrington having Angelina Jolie's +3

  I think we can safely say that it is _not_ in the realm of mere
_rumor_.

What does Angeline Jolie have to do with The Great Weber's
adoption problems? I thought she was just an actress, not an adoption
official.

Jolie adopted a Cambodian baby a couple of years ago. Now it turns out
that the agency she went through wasn't actually putting orphans up for
adoption. It was buying babies. (The going rate in Cambodia seems to
be about $100 to the mother, and a few thousand in bribes to various
government officials.) The agency has been shut down by the FBI,
people are going to jail, and the US put a moratorium on Cambodian
adoptions.

Why Weber should be upset with Jolie over this is beyond me. As far as
I can see she seems to be one of the victims, and is now in a custody
battle to keep the baby she adopted. It may be that the publicity
surrounding her adoption caused some people to take a closer look at
the whole Cambodian adoption thing and discover that it wasn't all
kosher, but that's not her fault.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
