Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Real Steel - did all it needed to. Rocky meets the Champ via Smash 'em Bash 'em Robots......and they kinda thought about the ending too. I enjoyed it.

Last night I watched The Princess Bride with the kids. They werefor the majority of it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Why were they confused?

So many particulars. So many questions.
Threads is amazing. I can't imagine what it must have been like for people to be watching that during the cold war

It'll do that for a while yet. This was on prime time bbc1.

Be a Pisces. Jam.
I think the eldest (11) was a bit confused when I was laughing at quite inappropriate moments
Reno
The In Kraut
I only ever saw it once when it was first transmitted and I nearly shat myself. I can't think of a single other programme or film that has terrified this badly before or since, because a nuclear holocaust was something that seemed like a real possibility throughout my childhood and youth.
I'm not sure how it plays now, but I can't imagine it having the same impact.

You see the BBC is a nest of Red subversion. I'm on heavy-duty anti-malarial drugs at the moment, so I can't really afford to play Russian Roulette with my mental state.
I really don't see the Russians then or now launching a surprise attack on the UK, though. It's not really spelled out (at least in the bits I could bear to watch) how exactly you get from a spot of bother in the ME to This is The End, My Only Friend The End.

That's irrelevant idris - that's what the big people do/don't.

I thought this comment was in relation to Threads at first, and not the Princess Bride.

I'll just blame it on the Lariam.

Couldn't get Malarone? I got given a bunch of Lariam recently for a trip, but after reading up on it decided I'd rather risk malaria. Also, I've never seen Threads.

It is expensive for sure. Malaria can still kill you if you're on Lariam, can't it? TBH it wasn't the best decision I ever made, but hey, AFAIK no malaria, never even got bitten.

I did bring the Lariam with me for that very reason.

He's just imitating Bakunin's roving terrorist band, who were to keep society on the right track in the post-revolutionary anarchist utopia.

Just watched the new Batman film. Really enjoyed it. Had a good twist that I didn't see coming. Also saw Ted the other night, which was really really funny. Bit schmaltzy towards the end but loads of proper laugh out loud moments before that. 'I fucked her with a parsnip' isn't a line that gets used often enough in film imo.
