Oh, I'm going to have to use that one!   :thumbup:

It would now be easier, cheaper and less intrusive into our private lives to visit communist China than the USA. Words I never thought I would write.

It was interesting watching the reaction to the whole Greenland thing. Denmark simply deployed troops to the region and said if anyone invades, shoot to kill. I know quite a few people from Denmark and there was no fear or panic involved, just more of a we will do what we need to do attitude and then other NATO European nations joined in. I am still surprised about the UK standing with Denmark so publicly. It does fit with the defence treaties that the UK has been signing outside of NATO since trump's first term, but a break like that is a big jump.

Rumour has it that several nations went to DAVOS equipped with dossiers from their intelligence services and told trump that if he didn't back down, information would be released. Got to love the gutter press and how they know all this high-level stuff going on behind locked doors.

Looks like the big six of the EU have set themselves on a course for federation and the other EU nations can join or not. It's giving them a way of bypassing Hungry's veto. I don't know what he is doing for the US, but trump is certainly working wonders for nations outside of his borders in terms of raising nationalism, creating new alliances and trading blocs.

It is all interesting to watch. In the future I think this period will make the ascension of China to the world's most powerful empire, although there are theories that India will quickly overtake them.

I remember as a kid watching Hellraiser and Robocop and thinking both those movies were groundbreaking in their portrayal of violence on screen. Trouble is, once you've broken that ground, it sets a timer before it becomes a bit old and passe. How much further can you go before it becomes too far? Every original film makes it slightly harder to make something else original.

Since both The Master and Ghostbusters were from the same year, there wasn't the Ravages of Time aspect.

Roundtable on productions we saw at perhaps a bit too young an age.

interesting thanks.

I guess 'fries' does occasionally get use here, and seems to always refer to the really thin variety... not the chunky or regular type
