That's another one the apartheid censor board got stuck into 😕

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the censorship board had problems with Mary Poppins.

😳😄😆😂😅🤣😀😃😄

The one movie like this they had an issue with was, believe it or not, MY FAIR LADY. They were concerned about Audrey Hepburn's language at the horse race where she forgets where she is and yells "Move your bloomin arse!" at the horse.

The film was finally released, arse and all. 😉😉😎🐢

"Living With Chucky" (2022)
The long, strange history of the "Child's Play" horror franchise is examined in this fun documentary directed by the daughter of the series' producer, David Kirschner. In addition to looking back at each film in the franchise, there's also a lot of commentary about the "family" vibe behind the scenes, as the same writer / producer team (Don Mancini and Kirschner) have been at the helm through all the films (except the 2019 "remake") and the Chucky TV series, along with a lot of the same puppeteers and special effects artists. A trip down memory lane that  made me want to revisit some of the early "Child's Play" installments.

Quote from: Rev. Powell on Today at 09:05:32 AMThe immigration crackdown. I don't feel the need to discuss it in this forum. We all know what would happen. This isn't Facebook with millions of users where you can argue and disappear anonymously; everybody knows everybody here and we all already know where we stand. Just know that the operation is very unpopular among most Americans and costing MAGA politically.

Eh, a lot of locals are for it, in spite of NoVa electing another communist........

This one never gets old for me:

"And finally, this question: The mystery of whose story it will be; of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad, lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it that does all these things? Who honors those we love with the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we will never die?

Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the Key that can set us free?

It's you.
You have all the weapons you need.

Now Fight."

The closing monologue from SUCKER PUNCH

It's often in the news here too but some people here actually want migrants forcibly sent home and the country's borders especially with Zimbabwe sealed off.

Iced in yesterday, so I did a double feature.
ALIEN: ROMULUS was entertaining, but really it was just another ALIEN movie - deserted space ship, eggs hatching, face huggers hugging, one chest-busting, final girl and her synthetic companion somehow survive.  Well done, but we've seen it all before - except for the human/Xenomorph hybrid.  That was pretty cool, and raises it from three stars to four. 4/5

SINNERS (2025) Finally got around to seeing this, and it was pretty good!  Basically an African-American take on FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, with better acting. It was a very solid film, but I'm just gonna come out and say it - this was NOT worthy of 16 Oscar nominations!  Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but NUREMBURG was a far better film in every way.  WEAPONS was more original. SUPERMAN was more uplifting.  Fun movie, but way over-hyped.  4/5
