It has to be admitted there are sightings going back literally centuries and that it may have once existed but has since gone extinct or is a migratory species that only comes back to the loch to spawn. Similar creatures have been reported in Cornwall, Ireland, New Zealand and Scandinavia so it could well be the loch is not it's permanent home. OR it could be a tourist stunt that has proven very profitable for a couple of centuries.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 16, 2018:

-Many people throughout the world still believe in witches, and in many cases torture, exorcise them, jail then and kill them. The last witch trail in the UK was in 1954, witchcraft only ceased to be illegal in the USA in 1973 and in Australia it was repealed as a crime to tell fortunes in 1979. Islam still condemns witches and magic users in Saudi Arabia you can still be executed for it, in India it is the same as Hinduism also condemns witches, there are five other countries Christian and otherwise were witchcraft is a capital offence, In Romania it is a taxable and licensable occupation, Iran has laws forbidding witches from interfering in government and politics, it is not a capital offence but you can be imprisoned for it, it is illegal in almost every African country to be a witch and in the Central African republic flying a broomstick in a designated commercial airspace is an offence for which you can be imprisoned. Most Christian church denominations still acknowledge practising witchcraft as a forbidden activity, tantamount to apostasy and in many including Catholicism and Mormonism with be considered grounds for excommunication. The Torah acknowledges the existence of witches and forbids their presence in Hebrew communities. Other capital scriptural offence still proliferate all over the world, mostly to do with adultery, homosexuality and Blasphemy.

However "The Quite man" is a wonderful movie in spite of his being in it. *John on the Oscar nominations for 1970* Midnight Cowboy, a story about two fags, qualifies? *John On civil rights* I believe in white supremacy, until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves. It's just a fact of life, like the kid who gets infantile paralysis and has to wear braces so he can't play football with the rest of us. There's no doubt that 10 percent of the population is black, or colored, or whatever they want to call themselves; they certainly aren't Caucasian. I've directed two pictures and I gave the blacks their proper position. I had a black slave in The Alamo *John On Native Americans* I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.

Making friends after 30.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

I had a good friend, we knew one another and worked together for 30 years, he died at the age of 52 under sad circumstance in a foreign country under circumstance I found pathetic taken to as a means of combatting loneliness and against my advice. Friendship is over rated, especially in an age where being someone's friend is measured by how much you will allow them to put on you, while expecting nothing at all back. Most friendships I know are the user and the used, I don't use people and I will not be used, I have more self respect. I have a lot of acquaintances we chat, share a drink, even bond a little, but I get no closer than that. I will do anyone a favour once, if when I ask a favour back they say no, then I am unavailable the next time too, even if I am not. Friendship among children is easy, friendship among young people is often a cause of tension and jealousy, friendship in adults is great but you are lucky if you find only one or two good friends in your whole life and luckier still if they don't shit all over you when something “better” comes along.

"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." - Friedrich Nietzsche

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

The quote is not from any of Nietzsche's philosophical works it is from a letter to his sister, and is an encapsulation of his liking for Buddhist attitudes (though not the ideology) that life is suffering, but when understood suffering can be a source of will, the odd phrasing is because unlike Nietzsche himself his sister still held some Christian religious sensibilities which he chose to respect.

Yes.

Why does there have to be a reason for everything? Is even asking the question paradoxical?

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

It is a bastardisation of the law of cause and effect. Every effect has a cause and every cause is an effect. However using the word reason as a simile for "cause" can be easily equivocated by confusing the various meaning of "reason". Everything has a cause, but that cause may not necessarily be reasonable or have any reason other than it being the effect of something else.

I'm something of a fan of version of the anthropic principle based upon the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and Niels Bohr, conception that physical existence is reliant on measurement and observation, therefore physical existence and consciousness are reliant on each other. That which is observed requires an observer in order to be observed and therefore exist, the observer requires an observer in order to exist and observe. Therefore self awareness of being is the root of everything, Awareness is observation Observation is measurement Measurement brings about existence (including time and space) Existence becomes aware The circle is complete.

Suicide: a cowardly move? True or false?

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 12, 2018:

Committing suicide (that is actually killing yourself intentionally) is in my opinion a desperate action and though selfish is ultimately very brave act. *Attempting suicide with no real intention of actually dieing is a pathetic selfish cry for attention, done to take away from yourself the responsibility for dealing with your own problems and blame shifting. It impacts negatively on those around you and is the height of cowardice.* **Becoming suicidal, facing it, admitting you have a problem and seeking help either alone or with others is an act of unselfish bravery**

"The Ghost and Mrs Muir" This is going to be a mild rant about several issues.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 12, 2018:

I actually first came a cross "The Ghost and Mrs Muir" as a radio play, in the 1970's with James Robertson Justice as Captain Gregg, which lead me to find the film and as I have said before I watched it on the premise that George Sanders for me never made a bad film. I did watch the TV series later, and I'll be honest Edward Mulhare was an excellent Captain Gregg, though the writing and production was not up to much having come wholesale from the Doris day show, (Though the Waldman Brothers did write a couple of episodes before finding success writing the later Pink Panther films) and updating the setting was just a simple economy done for no other reason than to save money. The series was really a show piece for under rated comic genius Charles Nelson Reilly as Captain Gregg's foppish grand Nephew, but for me he will never be anyone but Hoodoo Voodoo in Lidsville.

Love The Picture of Dorien Grey 1945 version (I will watch anything with George Sanders in it ) and it is amazing to see Angela Landsbury so young. The New version is okay, but the original benefits from being in black and white, it gives it a timeless feeling appropriate to the subject matter. By the way did anyone ever notice that the picture when revealed in the 1945 version is the basis for the make up used for Father Jack in later episodes of "Father Ted"? Also I suggest you read "Family Portrait" by Graham Masterton, an interesting retelling of the story.

The Jews today refuse to believe that Jesus was the Christ or gods son.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 10, 2018:

There is also a current theory, among some theologians, that Jesus was never actually a Jew at all, hence his being so willing to disregard tradition and teachings. If he existed he is widely credited as having been raised in Egypt until the age of twelve, and though there were Jewish settlements in Egypt they were not Orthodox, but were so called "mystery" sects, Gnostics, Essenes and Israelites (as opposed to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin alone). It is obvious from the scriptures themselves that Jesus was aware of other religions and even openly refers to Buddhist Prayer wheels so may well have been exposed to their teachings. Some even suggest that Jesus was a Hermetic, hence the the mention of three wise men at his birth being a Christian tradition even though it is not in the bible, Three wise men= Trismegistus as in Hermes Trismegistus the mythical ancient Egyptian mystic and scientist.

The Jews today refuse to believe that Jesus was the Christ or gods son.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 10, 2018:

In Jerusalem alone at the time of the Supposed Jesus Christ there were two other messiahs, one was Jesus Barabbas a terrorist and the other was John the Baptists as the latest leader of a heretic Jewish sect . John who was considered such a political threat to both the Jews and he Romans that Flavius Josephus spends a whole chapter describing his life ministry and death by execution, where as he spends on one verse on Jesus and that is widely believed to be a forgery. Oddly the version of John in Josephus is very different from the version in the bible and where it does agree with the bible it is not in the gospels but in the Acts of the apostles where Simon Magus is named as John's successor and the leader of a flourishing protoreligion.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 9, 2018:

Of course the definition of a B movie has changed over the years, originally it was a film never intended to be a main feature, just a supporting film, theses days when supporting features don't exist anymore it is any film with a low budget. The masters of the true B feature were guys like William Castle, Roger Corman, Dan Curtis, Albert and his son Charles Band, Bilson and DeMio. Today these are usually see as straight to video movies or cable TV movie, the best being Asylum Studios who on nothing budgets turn out some good old fashioned kick ass sci fi and fantasy.

Cool

New movie called, “Upgrade”.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 8, 2018:

Looks good, even if it is very derivative of the old 200 AD comic series M.A.C.H. 1

So, is anyone else glad that Moffat is done being the head writter of Doctor Who?

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 7, 2018:

Yes, he had some great ideas, wrote some of the best episodes ever, but very quickly started repeating himself. That said, replacing him with Chibnal is worrying, I was hoping for Mark Grattis

The only horror movies I can stand are the old ones.

Their greatest roles where I think Vincent Price- Dragonwyck 1946, though not technically a horror film it was the gothic sinister role that broke him into the field (for genuine horror Witch finder general 1968 ) Christopher Lee- I Monster 1971 best version of Jekyll and Hyde ever, with Lee playing the part as a delusional psychotic who only believes he has physically changed Peter Cushing - Fear in the Night 1972

The only horror movies I can stand are the old ones.

Three wonderful men, great performers and gentlemen. I believe that still is from the house of the long shadows, which also featured John Caradine. It seems to work like this, you get four or five breakout horror stars every generation, for instance : 10/20 Lon Chaney, Lionel Barrymore, Max Shrek, Conrad Veidt, The Gish sisters 30/40 Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Fay Ray, John Caradine, Elsa Lanchester, Lon Chaney Junior 50/60 Lee, Cushing, Price, Robert Quarry, Barbara Steel, Karen Black, Linda Blaire, Donald Pleasance 70/80 Robert Eglund, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bruce Cambell, Zelda Rubenstien, BradDuriff 90/2000 + Jeffrey Combs, Larry Drake, Danny Trejo, Tobin Bell, Katee Sackhoff, and Lin Shaye the big break out horror star of the last few years

Any thing new about the " look" through a key hole onto oneself before you hear sb approaching and ...

Are you referring to existentialism? Sartre's theory of "The Look," ?

Do you ever link unrelated movies?

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 7, 2018:

The lead characters played by Simon Pegg in the Cornetto trilogy (and Spaced) are all deluded fantasies of Gary King, the only part of the three films that takes place in the real world is the first half of The World's End, when Gary breaks out of the Asylum and tries to get the gang back together. When Gary is beaten up in the toilets of the pub, he falls back into his fantasy world and things start to go right for him again. Sean of the dead, is his way of making sense of the Zombies, his fellow patients in the asylum, Hot Fuzz is his dream of being a policeman a dream ruined by his bent copper uncle the drug dealer. Bill Nighy appears in all three as a father figure who hates him, Nick Frost is always his best friend, David Bradley is an unintelligible older figure who tries to help but usually makes things worse, Former James Bond actors appear as villains, Martin Freeman always plays sellouts. There are other connections, but the overall feel is of a man trying to make sense of his past, present and future, through a gauze of insanity and disillusionment.

1937, 1954, and 1976 and now 2018, how many times are they going to beat this tired old story to death,

How many has seen this movie? It is one of my all-time favorites.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 7, 2018:

See it, but as with most James Dean movies, I was not overly impressed.

Am I wrong for comparing the religious to Nazism?

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 7, 2018:

Both Professor Stuart Hall in 1979 and in 2004 by Dr. Laurence Britt wrote articles defining the major points in identifying extreme nationalism and or fascism, just as a thought experiment I took their criteria adapted and applied it to the LDS and to a lesser extent to religion in general 1. An easily identifiable symbol to rally too. 2. Specific terms/ code words or euphemisms exclusive to the group. 3. Powerful and continuing expressions of belonging to a chosen or special race. 4. Praising of a Mythological golden age of your ideology that give rights of rule by dynastic or spiritual heritage to all members and especially to leaders 5. Being included in and party to sacred mysticism denied to less worthy others 6. Physical Body Worship combined with reminders of spiritual unworthiness 7. Disdain for the importance of human rights especially those of outsiders 8. Suppression of the rights of the individual in favour of the group and the greater good 9. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause  10. The supremacy of the physical and or spiritual power broker 11. Institutionalised sexism  12. A controlled mass media  13. Obsession with internal security and or secrecy  14. Religion and ruling elite tied together  15. Power of corporations protected  16. Power of labour suppressed or eliminated  17. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts  18. Obsession with crime and punishment  19. Rampant cronyism and corruption  20. A pretence at democracy including Fraudulent elections or sustaining of the leadership  If you accept the above as indicative of a fascist state then the LDS and to a lesser extent all religions are fascist institution.

Anyone her struggle with being an Atheist in Mormon culture?

You have my sympathy, though not living in a Mormon community, I had to threaten them with harassment law suits in order to get them to leave my wife and I alone after I left.

I watched “Casablanca” tonight.

There is no greater experience in cinema than watching a classic as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen with booming sound and a lap full of snacks.

When Kim Kardashian declared her allegance to Satan, what did y'all think?

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 7, 2018:

Are we talking about the imaginary red Satan in Hell or the nightmarish orange one in Washington?

Jesus walks in to a Bar in the poor end of town. He sees a man suffering a skin condition walks over to him and "pow" healed. Thank you Lord cries the man Jesus sees another man who is blind, "Pow" Jesus heals him. Thank you Lord cries the man Then Jesus sees a man in a wheelchair, as Jesus approaches the man raises his fist "Keep away from me you liberal do gooding bastard!" he yells "What is wrong my son?" asks Jesus "Took me four years to get on disability benefit," he cried."And you're not fucking it up for me!"

11 "unanswerable" questions for atheists - answered - YouTube

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 6, 2018:

There are so many religious people making these unanswerable questions for atheists videos and all they are really are an excuse for smug gits to pat one another on the back and say that there is no point looking at the answer video, because the questions are unanswerable. Ray comfort’s banana video is still the best one, half an hour explaining why god made the Banana perfect for man, only to have it explained to him a few days later that the Banana is in fact a cultivated, eugenically created fruit designed by people not god. Every time he appears in public now it is to a chorus of “cough, cough, bananas, cough, cough”

Not big into newer horror movies but I am kind of looking forward to this [youtu.be]

Cannot be worse than the Rob Zombie monstrosity

Why would the word "kill" be mentioned 416 times in one version of the bible ?

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 6, 2018:

Because it is the holy book of a death cult?

What are your top 3 current favorite TV shows?

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 6, 2018:

It is odd but when I was young I was a "tele addict" We had three channels, later four and then five, before everything went digital. Every night there was good stuff to watch, interesting documentaries, news and current affairs, drama and films. Today there are 70 channels on freeview, before you start on streaming services, cable and satelite. You know what, there is next to nothing worth watching anymore. I watch Doctor Who, when it is on. I like Big Bang theory I watched the new season of Will and Grace, which was not bad. Everything else I watch is reruns of shows from the 70's and 80's. Of the modern shows, I rarely watch them live because I hate the commercials, so buy them on DVD and watch them later, same with films.
