The John Carter of Mars series of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs began in 1912
and was was hugely popular and incredibly influential.
Consequentially when the first book "A princes of Mars" was filmed by Disney As John Carter of Mars, they chose to stay very faithful to the story. (there was an earlier made for TV version made in 2009 under the original title)
The problem with this however was that so much of the story had been ripped off over the years for among other things the origin of Superman and the of the Martian Man-hunter, Hell comes to Frog town, V, and even the last Samurai, a dozen others that people immediately cried out down as derivative and unoriginal.
The same thing happened to David Lynches version of Dune, where massive law suits lead to the whole film being rewritten and deviating massively from the novels by Frank Herbert, in order to not have people say it had ripped off Star Wars, when in actuality Star wars' producers Lucas Film had settled out of court years before with the Herbert estate for blatantly stealing from Dune on 11 proven points of proven similarity. (on the strength of that suit Akira Kurosawa was also advised to sue Lucasfilm for stealing their plot Line from his 1958 film Hidden Fortress, he didn't because he was a fan)

GuyKeith comments on Jan 1, 2019:
Some remakes are quite good and superior to the original. *The Thing* with Kurt Russell (that hat!) was vastly superior to the original movie. *3:10 To Yuma* is another one that comes to mind. *Ocean's 11* and *True Grit* are a couple more.
LenHazell53 replies on Jan 1, 2019:
In the early days of cinema there are many remakes that are better than the originals since budgets and technology improves so much in such a short time.
However after the advent of sound, colour and SFX created many of the definitive versions later attempts rarely were better than the originals, simply because they were being made as cash ins not as homages to the source material.
Not always however, since in some cases such as
The Maltese Falcon
The Wizard of Oz
His Girl Friday/ (The front page) etc
The remakes are thought of as the "originals" even thought they were all remakes.
Today the only reason for genuinely doing a remake is to take a story that was not done justice for one reason or another and remake it as it deserves to be made.

@Davekp I have 4 grandchildren and their parents brought them up well enough that one grand daughter did her math and English A'levels at 14, and the other three are all highly intelligent and above their respective expected levels.
All of them were castigated at an early age for using lazy "gruntees" as we call it.
All of them when asked what a "new" word meant were made to investigate it before they used it.
None were allowed to use lazy variations such as maffs for math, fought for thought or fink for think or thing.
The results have been analytical thinking, bright and successful students who can communicate clearly and efficiently.
Language is essential, when you neglect that as a foundation everything you try and build on it will be shoddy, unstable and liable to collapse at any moment.
As for social media allowing any child to use it before an age of social responsibility is simply bad parenting .

Since Dipshit is a vulgar variation on Dipstick (meaning a Penis, except in England where it is a device for measure the oil reserve of an engine)
Since a DipSTICK is a penis, a DipSHIT is a penis used for anal intercourse and by extension a homosexual man.
Using Dipshit to you as a derogatory term for a stupid person is a variation analogous to calling someone or something Gay so as to deride it, is more specific and need must be applied only to a male, proving indubitably your commentator is himself an illiterate moron able to be correctly address as a Dipstick.

I too have had the "Look you a nice guy, I really like you but I don't date short men/men with curly hair/guys with big noses etc" stuff too.
I'm 5'3" and have always found tall women attractive, the time I was told that they could not date me because it would "Look stupid" I cannot count. The damage done to my ego landed me in my first marriage and as a sufferer of domestic abuse, feeling I was lucky to have anyone.
After that experience, I dropped all and every idea of finding anyone attractive for any physical reason and concentrated on finding nice people. For a few years a had a great time and made great friends until meeting my second wife in settling in to a great (so far) marriage of 27 years.
Looking your best is a natural instinct, everyone wants to be thought attractive, but it is the long run just a superficial attraction, real appreciation comes from compatibility admiration and trust.

I too have had the "Look you a nice guy, I really like you but I don't date short men/men with curly hair/guys with big noses etc" stuff too.
I'm 5'3" and have always found tall women attractive, the time I was told that they could not date me because it would "Look stupid" I cannot count. The damage done to my ego landed me in my first marriage and as a sufferer of domestic abuse, feeling I was lucky to have anyone.
After that experience, I dropped all and every idea of finding anyone attractive for any physical reason and concentrated on finding nice people. For a few years a had a great time and made great friends until meeting my second wife in settling in to a great (so far) marriage of 27 years.
Looking your best is a natural instinct, everyone wants to be thought attractive, but it is the long run just a superficial attraction, real appreciation comes from compatibility admiration and trust.
Hypocrite...

As the primary stay at home parent for my son and the official carer for both my now invalid wife and up until recently her elderly parents I disagree completely with your assessment of the capability of men to look after other people and of marriage generally.
My wife was for much of our marriage the primary bread winner, my daughter is a professional security guard an much of my working life has been in grocery retail traditionally a female dominated profession, prior to becoming a house husband and carer.
My marriage (my second marriage) is very much a partnership.
I think you may just be generalizing a little?

There was no established pattern other than that in many cases the work they did gave them a false sense of petty authority.
One worked for the inland revenue, one was a school caretaker, one was head of a typing pool (now there's something you never see anymore) one was a prostitute.
The absolute worst I ever knew was a man who delighted in destroying his many partners both men and women by slow methodical mental cruelty but was always being comforted by others because he could not ever hold on to a partner and they all left "such a nice guy" for "no reason whatsoever" (at least two I know of by suicide or attempted suicide) He called it a kindness, helping them to "grow up"
He was a hod carrier on a building site.

@sweetcharlotte Generally the sort of man who will never take blame or responsibility for anything he ever does.
See if any of these things sound familiar
A man has a coughing fit drinking soda pop too quick, not his fault, too many bubbles
Man falls over his own large cat or dog, not his fault the dog is an idiot and has not been trained properly
Man trips over carpet, it is not his fault it is who ever ever laid the carpet incorrectly
Man has a bad temper, not his fault people should stop pissing him off
Man crashes car in to wall while reversing, it is not his fault, it is the passenger for not telling him the wall was there. If the passenger did tell him, then he crashed because they distracted him, if their telling him avoided the crash, they must have thought he was an idiot because of course he had seen the wall and was about to stop anyway.
Man loses his temper because he was proven wrong, not his fault it was his teacher, the paper, modern thinking, the inconsistency of facts, and anyway as far as he is concerned he is still right because that is how it used to be.
So if any or similar behaviour is ever present and suddenly gets a lot worse to the point where you consider leaving him (or her, such behaviour is not unknown in spoiled people of both primary genders) then it is because he honestly has convinced himself everything wrong in the relationship must be the other person's fault, because he does not make mistakes and is not going to be accused of being the failed partner in the relationship, because the other one could not accept him as he is.

So if any or similar behaviour is ever present and suddenly gets a lot worse to the point where you consider leaving him (or her, such behaviour is not unknown in spoiled people of both primary genders) then it is because he honestly has convinced himself everything wrong in the relationship must be the other person's fault, because he does not make mistakes and is not going to be accused of being the failed partner in the relationship, because the other one could not accept him as he is.

@Kafir, @RonWilliam53
"Whether "The Doctor" has been written as a being that can pee standing up or has to sit down is irrelevant."
Totally agree.
But when the Doctor is written as another character all together it is akin having Doctor Watson written as a cake obsessed wimp fourteen year old school boy who cannot tell his arse from his elbow. (And yes that is a dig at Spielberg's abomination Young Sherlock Holmes, which I hated almost as much as I did series 11 of New who)

@Kafir When Chris Chibnall decided to turn a basically humourous science fiction eccentric character, based largely on H.G. Wells genius professor Cavor, crossed with Jules Verne's adventurous traveler Phineous Fogg and Arthur Conan Doyle's explorer Professor Challenger, in to a character who could not maintain a single consistent trait from one episode to the next, dithers and yells and can't spot a clue when it is dancing in front of her wearing a blue's clues T shirt while singing happy clues are here again.
Chinball's Doctor is not *the* doctor, his stories are not NU who or Classic Who, they are more like modern morality tales that may have worked some other anthology show but are as subtle in their messaging as a bucket of bricks on the little toe.

Exactly, we are not ready, there is no bar on putting a hold on brexit, this head long dash, politics of fear, lemming like rush to completely knacker the economy and trade relation world wide is insane.
Yes the referendum voted out.
But it voted for Out now (2016), no deal, thank you and good night Vienna.
That did not happen.
It is now years later, many who voted are dead, many who could not vote now can, the lies have been exposed and the truth has been made clear to anyone wanting to hear it.
We as four nations, not the catch all UK, or Great Briton, or the British isles or what ever convenient gerrymandering title you want to use this week need to have our say.
There is no reason at all why Scotland and Northern Ireland cannot be in the EU, and England and Whales not, it would no more break up the Union that being in the EU now breaks up the commonwealth, in fact it would be advantageous all around, would probably prevent any further talk of devolution and allow for British business to have the good parts of membership while allowing them also to take advantage of separate trade deals in the other parts of the none EU parts of the UK.

@Druvius If innocent until proven guilty applies only when arrested and charged, then thee is no **presumption of innocence** when scurrilous accusations are made against anyone by anyone, they therefore must be assumed as potentially guilty until shown otherwise.
This is the reasoning behind lynch mobs, vigilante justice and witch hunts.
American history is littered with this, most famously the Salem witch trial, where accusation (by children) was enough and trails were used only for sentencing.
This is why Innocent until proven guilty was enshrined in law for all in the Magna Carter and is the most precious concept of societal justice in the UK.

In the UK at least Innocent until proven guilty is no "Trope" it is known rightly as the golden thread from which our entire system of Justice and law hangs. From the moment of accusation to the moment of acquittal or conviction.
If guilty until proven innocent is the accepted state of affairs UNTIL you are arrested where you live your society is in serious trouble, no wonder you all need flaming guns.

However, it may (or may not) have been the case that the chap in this story was simply demonstrating that this symbol can be shown today and given an utterly different meaning simply because the hexagram and the Hakenkreuz have become fixed in out minds today as the star of David and the swastika, when those names actually only stem from the 1890s and the 1930's respectively.
Hence my point about the importance of getting the full story before making a condemnation.

@Heraclitus OH you are going to love Pennyworth8 he is hilarious
For example he claims atheist don't exist because
"Being an athiest (sic) means you don't believe in God. If there were no God you would not have a God to not believe in."
LenHazell53 replies on Dec 6, 2018:
@GuyKeith He is worse than dense, he seems to genuinely believe the world deserves to be wiped out for making god so angry and should be grateful to have it done.
He is a joy to behold a genuine "Right Tulip" as we would say in Yorkshire

"because you hate the one you say you don't believe exists?"
This piece of gormless equivocation deserves it's own answer.
I have no reason to believe god exists because their is no prove that he she or it does exits, not a jot or an iota.
However according those who claim without substantiation that this thing does exist, he she or it has certain character traits attributed to it, and they are without exception, when taken in the context of the whole, abominable.
The "God" of the bible, is evil, capricious, jealous, murderous, corrupting, incestuous, paedophilic, genocidal, xenophobic, infantacidal and insane.
The fact that people knowing all this, assuming they have read the bible(which most of them have not) still worship this monster is not only worrying it is a matter of utter terror to me.
I do not hate something I do not believe to exist, I hate all that is done in its name, what it symbolizes and those who hold it up as an example of righteousness.
Those thing sir, are all too real and all to dangerous.
For your own sake look at what you are doing, saying and tacitly advocating, then when you have gotten over the horror of it all, change your ways and do something useful with your time instead of trying to spread your filthy form of deluded insanity t other who know better than to listen to you.

You say God/Jesus saved you?
If god saved you then, why did he not save you when you were experiencing all the bad stuff, if he could save you, why did he allow the Vietnam war?
Why did the all merciful let you become an alcoholic?
You had to "surrender" to him for this loving god to save you? What a twat!
Do as I say and I'll make all thee bad stuff I let happen to you go away because you grovelled to me me.
WHAT a fucking bastard your god is.
Oh and of course if you change your mind again he WILL burn you in hell for all eternity, what a cunt.
And you as his devoted brown nose think I as an atheist deserve to burn in hell too?
Well fuck you and your evil god, anyone who would worship and surrender to a sick bastard like that is mentally ill or congenitally evil.
I hope it is the former, because then you might get better.
That answer your question?
By the way do you know your avatar pic is on a 90 degree angle, or is your view of the world so twisted that is how you see things?

The Jack Lemon version is saved by his wife Gwen's constant disbelieving monotone statements of the obvious
"Oh my god we are being kidnapped"
the 1999 version is awful (incidentally Steve Martin is that too, he is the king of the bad remake.)
