I had to channel my hidden Coss

Still going on about loosing the vote ...... jeez.

Whom says he has not been on here for years?

Dune (2021) This one is as good as you'd expect it to be. Magnificent, visual grandeur. Good acting and writing. Try and watch this on the big screen or at least a big arse TV. Hand "Devices" are not gonna cut it. It does seem set for future sequels à la Star Wars &c. it even has "part one" in the opening credits. After David Lynch's and Jodorowsky's efforts, director Denis Villeneuve should be congratulated. The cast, some of whom seem to be acting, well above their normal pay grade, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, also includes some very familiar folk. Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Stellan Skarsgård, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Chen Chang, Dave Bautista, David Dastmalchian, Zendaya, Charlotte Rampling, Babs Olusanmokun, Benjamin Clémentine, Souad Faress, Golda Rosheuvel... Very good, waiting for the next one.... and a half.

But if Paul101 had of used the Nickname / Username people would have been able to look at the credits and match username to real name. The only way you would have recognized the person in the movie is if you had of met him in real life, if so no doubt you would already be aware of his real name and he may of given you one of his business cards, which, for the record, have his real name not his user name. Mountains and molehills based on personal dislike for a fellow member me thinks

...and finally...

When I was at school we were given the Polio vaccine on a sugar cube (no not Bork), later we had the TB vaccine, a passage of rites, one had the same scar on the shoulder as your father, if you like your first tattoo (not that I have inkings) The number of times I fell of my bike, fell on broken glass, got bitten by neighbors dog etc and ent to the local infirmary for a tetanus jab, it was just all part and parcel of life and growing. As I got older and traveling overseas for work I have had, Yellow Fever, Cholera, Typhoid, Hepatitis, Rabies and Anthrax vaccinations to name a few. I never complained it was being forced on me, it was simple no vaccination, not allowed into foreign country, Covid Passport is nothing new, I have had a vaccination passport for over 30 years, it just seemed normal. And to hear todays anti-vaxxers whining and winging about civil liberties and against their will, Pathetic.

The Last Bus [2021] British road movie about a pensioner whose wife has just passed away, travels from John O'Groats, to his original home town at Land's End, using his free bus pass with his wife's ashes. Along the way, his adventures are recorded by the people he meets and helps, and by the end of his trip he has unwittingly become a social media celebrity. The premise and lead performance are OK, but the execution of this fictional story is poorly made, two dimensional and stupid.

Thailand is making the mistake of believing that the whole world wants to visit Thailand where as, in reality, the whole world has already been and is seeking pastures new

CODA [2021] Named after the Child of Deaf Adults, a teenage girl is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, she finds herself torn between pursuing her passion for music and her fear of abandoning her parents. First done in a French movie, this reworking in the US version is using real deaf actors. Steers a little close to the cliched rom-com formula at times for some tastes, but the excellent deaf family characters with some hilarious no holds barred sign language make this a down to earth enjoyable story.

That's fucken' 'orrible

I am 100% pro vaccination but it's also subjective to our beliefs I am very cautious about mandatory, while I approve, 3 years ago I'd be demonstrating against it I think calling people stupid is not the way to have a meaningful disagrement
