Jupiter Ascending 2015 - IMDB says "A young woman discovers her destiny as an heiress of intergalactic nobility and must fight to protect the inhabitants of Earth from an ancient and destructive industry." I say - Rubbish. Mila Kunis has lost the cuteness of youth. Channing Tatum's eyes are too close together. Mila Kunis' character accepts the change, from cleaning toilets, to Queen of the Universe with no perceptible surprise. Channing Tatum has 'Hover Boots' (think Marty McFly's hovering skateboard from Back to the Future'), If you were 12 this could be enjoyable.

The rise of the Krays 2015 - Quite good, some very convincing, cool gangster violence, can't help feeling that this was episode 1 of a trilogy maybe? Worth a watch. Manglehorn 2014 - I like Al Pacino - this movie? Too boring for my taste. Arty in the sense that it looks at a very ordinary man, doing very ordinary things. Ordinary. A waste of a whole 97 minutes. 1984 1984 - Againilly, worth a watch, as valid today as then. Hannibal Rising 2007 - Now this was good, the boy who became Hannibal Lecter of 'Silence of the Lambs'. Well acted, nice twists, lovely gore, well worth a watch.

And your point that non muslims beat women, stands. I'm agin the beating of women, kids, dogs, cats, camels, goats by anyone. Even young men with beards and shaved heads. On the other hand, I quite like the idea that anyone guilty of beating someone, should be beaten in turn, roughly, and about 20% more. But then I have a fluid morality.

Aaah I see ---------- Two Femen protesters were arrested after baring their breasts at a controversial conference near Paris on the role of Muslim women. According to Inna Shevchenko, a spokeswoman for the feminist protest group, two fundamentalist preachers were discussing the question of "whether wives should be beaten or not" when the activists, aged 25 and 31, ripped off their Arab-style cloaks and jumped on to the stage at the weekend. One had the slogan "No one subjugates me" inked across her torso. The other bore the words "I am my own prophet". The protester grabbed microphones and shouted feminist slogans in French and Arabic before being roughly bundled off the stage by about 15 men and handed over to police. Video footage of the incident shows a man apparently kicking one of the women. According to Shevchenko, some of the men shouted "dirty whores" and "kill them". She thanked the police for protecting the two women, who were taken into custody. They were released after being questioned by prosecutors, who said they would continue investigating what happened. Conference organisers said they would press charges against the activists. They were not alone in taking exception to the presence of fundamentalist preachers at the event, where shopping and cooking were showcased as appropriate "feminine activities". One speaker at the conference has reportedly posted calls on social networks for women to veil their faces or risk hellfire and sexual assault in the afterlife. Nearly 6000 people signed an online petition against the event. Twitter posts called for the protesters to be stoned or collectively raped. http://www.nzherald....jectid=11513021 http://www.telegraph...e-on-women.html ----------

Don't blame me, I don't find these actions towards women any good at all, I've been careful not to blame "muslims" I only single out the young men who perpetrated the violence and noted the topic the activists interrupted. Just the facts.

Apparently the two white robed "clerics" they interrupted, were discussing, beating of wives.

At least one shaven headed, bearded, young man putting the boot into a woman on the ground. White shirt in this frame.

I heard one guy saying that the winds were 85 km/h - hardly seems enough for a modern crane to come down. My prejudices about third world standards come into play, but this being Mecca, one would have thought that the crane was properly installed.

Sad really. But are they arresting any foreigners to blame it on ?

I couldn't handle being a media whore...

Well done, I've got to get rid of 20 Kg recently gained.

I know what you mean, here in Hobbit Land, I am now 'the enemy' again, because I have the temerity, to be middle aged, white and male. Getting sick of it. MLG on the other hand, is having a good time of it, though we do get odd looks when in public together.

Thai Murders: DNA 'Does Not Match' Defendants The trial of the men accused of killing two British backpackers hears DNA on the murder weapon does not match the defendants. Britons killed on Koh Tao The bodies of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found in Koh Tao A forensics expert says DNA found on the garden hoe used in the killing of two British backpackers in Thailand does not match the two defendants. The bodies of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found on a beach on the holiday island of Koh Tao last September. Miss Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, had been raped and beaten. Mr Miller, 24, from Jersey, drowned in the sea after being clubbed around the head with the hoe. Burmese bar workers Zaw Lin and Wei Phyo, both 22, have pleaded not guilty and claim they were beaten by police. The head of Thailand's central forensics institute told the trial two profiles were found on the hoe - one a full sample, the other a partial sample - but neither matches the defendants. The DNA analysis was ordered by the defence after police failed to carry out their own tests after the murders. They also treated the murder scene haphazardly, the witness told the trial on the island of Koh Samui. Blood was not DNA tested for instance, at least one of the bodies was moved - potentially destroying evidence, and not enough photos were taken. The trial has previously heard claims the pair were beaten naked by police, suffocated with plastic bags and threatened with being killed at sea. Both men say they eventually confessed after being told they would only go to prison for four or five years. http://news.sky.com/story/1550571/thai-murders-dna-does-not-match-defendants

Marco Polo I - Netflix original series - Very Good, lots of Mongols, nekkid women and battle. Even some convincing Kung Fu. I'm looking for season II as soon as it's made.

Words fail me, so I thought I'd post this, for your edification. Actually, I have to wonder, how this chap got into this state, there but for the grace of god...

What you said. I understand completely why places like NZ do not allow educational qualifications from Thailand, Laos etc, to count, in NZ Universities.

It's defamation if my lawyer is bigger than yours.

nope, didn't think red was a determinative factor

I'm an Ice in beer fan. 40 degrees, in the shadow of the Cashew nut tree, whiskey glass size vessels, ice, beer Lao, and the tradition is that you all drink together, a toast and bottoms up. The beer does not get left on the ice, it's consumed quickly and at maximum chill. This allows you all to anticipate the next round. It's a good way to get the maximum effect on a hot day. Those who don't use ice, get warm beer after 2 minutes, those who let the ice melt are not serious drinkers.

Given that the others clearly, seek to keep the soldiers away from him, I'd suggest that as PTBM has opined, he may have some serious parents.

There are clearly some figures in red shirts, holding the soldiers back initially, so that the guy in no shirt, can continue his enjoyment of the game. It would be interesting to know who this guy is.
