It was cheaper to get real tanks in the Czech Republic than to make the fake ones that I would normally use computer generated imagery to do.

In New Zealand, no one has a handgun, and they aren't saying, 'Gee, I wish I had one.' I hope the United States takes note that the murder rate is lower where gun availability is lower. It seems obvious to me.
