There have actually been 6 or 7 movies of it, with another due next year. My favorite is the classic 1942 version starring Sabu.

Agreed I was going to talk about it but you beat me to it, Sabu, though limited by prejudice of the time still shone through as a true star. Died tragically young.

I read somewhere that Sid James was in his day, was one hell of an actor. When he did "of mice and man" on stage. He played the end scene with his back to the audience and everyone who watched it would have tears streaming down their faces.
LenHazell53 replies on Aug 22, 2018:
He was, as can be seen in early non comic roles, he was also a talented song and dance man.
Unfortunately he was also an incorrigible gambler, to the point where his agent had to have all his fees and wages paid directly in to his wife's bank account to stop him spending them in the local bookies. (in this he was like Chico Marx who had the same arrangement)
Like many of the Carry on stars he became attached to the series to support a habit, to deal with a medical condition or to hide sexual orientation
Sid James Gambler
Joan Simms alcoholic and ill health
Charles Hawtry Alcoholic, eating disorders, support of his elderly mother and closet homosexual
Kenneth Williams Pain Killer addiction, homosexuality and mental health Issues
Barbara Windsor Connections with organised crime via her gangster husband
Peter Butterworth health problems

@Cast1es If people in your neck of the woods are that shallow, they deserve all the misery they get, I have been short, fat, frizzy haired with a big nose all my life, I've been married twice, my first wife made me think I was being done a favour by her even looking at me, my second wife was my child hood sweetheart, we have been married 27 years, she is the love of my life and though I feel privileged to have her, she constantly tells me how she feels she is the lucky one, even though I was the twenty eighth proposal of marriage she received, she waited for me, of all people.
All I am saying is everyone is someone else's ideal of the epitome of beauty and desirability, by way of illustration my Dad is 80 years old and three years ago married again after being widowed, his new wife saw his picture on a dating site and fell head over heels for him, and he looks just like me (without the beard).
All the best to you ;)

Forgive my saying so but your father sounds like an utter fuckwit, Every father thinks his daughter is the most beautiful woman in the world, because he loves her.
Attractiveness and physical beauty are NOT the same thing, you can look like the most beautiful person in the world and be as ugly as sin, real beauty shines from inside, social concepts of what is and is not attractive are nothing more than a social construct.
Margaret Rutherford for instance was a great actress, a wonderful person and a national treasure no one could have called a physical beauty but for forty odd years she was one of the most loved and admired women in British cinema.

Thou shall not kill. Didn't God send his son down here to be murdered?
LibrePenseur comments on Aug 20, 2018:
For a guy that made a commandment against killing (though I think the correct translation is "thou shall not murder ") he sure does a lot of killing. He goes so far as genocide. Do as I say not as I do apparently.

Also bear in mind the Hebrew word translated as Kill or Murder, ONLY applies to other Jews, killing a gentile is like killing an animal, perfectly okay in the eyes of God, because only the chosen people are real people.

LenHazell53 replies on Aug 19, 2018:
Your friend is slightly mistaken
"The Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" and
"The Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (the hyphen is important it is part of the trade mark and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints (no hyphen) is a totally separate and unconnected church)
Are the two legal and business organisations affiliated to but not the property of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
This way the church can accept tax free donations from the two corporations, who administer all church assets and properties and the corporations can claim back such donations against their tax (win win).
The two corporations own between them , railways, shopping malls, international shipping concerns, Bonneville communications, a hunting reserve in Florida staffed by missionaries, newspapers, publishing houses, television stations, radio stations, Billions (literally billions) of dollars in stocks and shares and other concerns too numerous to mention.
Both Corporations are Corporation Soles, an accounting device that means the corporations are the individual property lock stock and barrel of the current prophet of the church, the church owns NOTHING and so is liable for nothing. However upon the death of the prophet, the corporation sole appoints automatically the next longest serving member of the apostles quorum as owner and prophet it being taken as a sign from god that this next old fart has not died, and so is worthy to become president, prophet and managing director.

@weeman As I have said that joke has been around for over fifty years (I can name Ken Dodd, terry Thomas, Chubby Brown, Bernard manning as having told it off the top of my head ), if some twat is going to attack a woman they don't need an excuse, and punishing some one for telling a joke, blaming the violence of a total stranger on the words of some one unrelated is a very bad precedent, you blame the perpetrator of the crime, did you blame the Beatles for the Manson Family because that fuckwit thought HelterSkelter was aimed at him personally?
We need to get over this "some people are sacred and untouchable" mentality and hold organisations and individuals responsible for their own hypocritical actions.

@jacpod You did understand that the article Boris wrote was defending the right to wear what ever a woman like to wear and saying that the Denmark ban on the burqa was illegal and prejudicial, (funny how that bit does not get mentioned much) and that if someone wants to wear something silly that is their right.
The letterbox joke has been around for years, my best friend at school's mother used to use it, but then Mrs. Al Bharani was never one to be a killjoy.

@Hihi I have never seen I see Muslim women in full dress at pools ever, and have even as a youth leader had to take children out of the pool area for turning up wearing football (soccer) shorts instead of swimming trunks.
Maybe where you are the rules are different, but in the UK at least forty years Health and safety regulations forbid inappropriate clothing.
Also when I was a youth leader in Middlesbrough in the 1980's and 1990 our rec centers were right in the middle of a high density Muslim population, half of my members were Muslim and none of them ever turned up to swim sessions in anything but normal swim suits and if parents did object to swimwear they obviously never sent there kids swimming, because no one ever even asked me about it.

@MST3K No I did not and in my initial post I never mentioned cotton garments.
However, if you read in to the back ground of the affair, yes they were trouble making by screaming racism where none existed. Because A) Islam is not a race and B) they were in breach of Health and safety regulations.
It was no longer a rule that cotton garments cannot be worn as swimwear as the fibres used to clog the filters, but it was and is a rule outdoor clothing cannot be worn as swimwear because to do so is dangerous.
So they claimed exception to this on religious grounds, in that their children must be attired "modestly" when bathing. Why? because under Koranic law the site of a child in a bathing suit will tempt a man to sin.
This is evil and wrong on so many levels I would not know ere to start.
They refused to actually purchase long leg and long sleeve swimwear and instead put their children in leggings shirts and hijabs undoubtedly outdoor clothing, making their swimwear so heavy the children had to wear in effect life jackets to stop them sinking.
When it is clearly stated shorts and t shirts are NOT swim wear in most Swimming pools health and safety regulations how can trousers, shirts and headwear be allowed for one group of people?
Screaming racism because an institution will not change its rules for you or anyone one else, it just a ploy.
I am a Muslim so you must allow me to break local authority regulations and swim in inappropriate and dangerous garments.
Okay
In that case I'm a Satanist and you must allow me to ritually slaughter a goat before I jump in the water.
er NO
RACISM Satanophobia!!!!
All I am saying is asking to have special dispensation to break a rule because "God says so" it arrogance and cheek, giving in to arrogance and cheek is bad management.

Then it stopped.

Lots of words to say what exactly? I gave up after reading "Dead as a doornail" the third time. Especially the last mention was too much for me.
LenHazell53 replies on Aug 1, 2018:
@evidentialist
The author does seem overly obsessed with the phrase as dead as a door-nail popularised in "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens:
Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.
Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade.
However the metaphor was first published in the 14th century by the poet William Langland in his translation of the French poem Guillaume de Palerne:
"For but ich haue bote of mi bale I am ded as dorenayl."

@FrayedBear Funny thing is the people of Hartlepool still hate being called Monkey hangers or the more popular in Teesside expression "Monkey Hanging Bastards"
But the Mascot of Hartlepool United FC is "Hangus The Monkey" and the guy who plays him was twice elected as Mayor Hartlepool, the first time campaigning in his costume.
I live in a particularly eccentric part of the country.

I got perma-banned from the Dandelion Hunters Club for merely suggesting that the things were weeds. It was like I had raped their favorite puppy. I won't even get into the Vegans, a political stance that flirts with mental illness.

If you are going to rape puppies, you have to be careful, if you don't wrap them in duct tape first they can explode, and that is just cruel.

I always liked 20 Million Miles to Earth. I love Ray Harryhausen's work. I'm tempted to watch this new movie just out called Rampage but it's supposed to be based on a video game and I'm a little skeptical about those movies.

I have heard some great things about Shin Godzilla. On my list. (It's a VERY long list)

Shin is good film, not great but not bad, it just does not have (for me) the true Godzilla vibe
