    Movies And Their Profanity

    F Hemingway's term for the most often-used swearword was 'the soldier's word', and as someone criticised by post-modern know-alls about the amount of swearing in my books set in WW2, I could only riposte that the actual veterans who read them say they all swore "like troopers" back then. As to...

    The Spanish Civil War

    speaking personally I was in Spain in 1974, in the dying days of the dictatorship, and I can still recall the climate of tension that existed if you were anywhere away from the coastal resorts. Many times I saw walls that still bore bulletholes, and an old man told me they were never repaired...

    The Spanish Civil War

    things have a cause No doubt the Republicans would have taken the Church to task if they'd won, but it had nothing to do with "world communism", and everything to do with the behaviour of the clergy. Do you think there would have been a problem if they had been nice guys and the poor lived...

    IDIOCRACY ... spoilers

    detail I reckon the mise-en-scene is funnier than the actual script, the shop signs and background stuff is top-notch, value in itself.

    The Spanish Civil War

    young people of today I often think about the young people of the era from all over the world who went to Spain to fight and often die for the republic (and yes I know there were some on the other side but nowhere near as many). it's hard to imagine that kind of idealism in the west today, even...

    Screenprinter's skills not needed You mean "Billabong Man"? jesus that look is pathetic, it just says: "I let my wife buy my clothes" what is really interesting though is the different levels of it, there's the Crazy Clark's/Target version in black and brown on grey, but if you play the odd...

    The Spanish Civil War

    The hard sell maybe GM needed an ad like this one (not sure if I put this up before) As to the 'anti-communist crusade' Franco rose up against a democratically elected government of which the Commmunists were a member of the coalition, the fierce battles that took place between the...

    KOKODA

    not bad This was filmed not far from my place, and although a worthy attempt to show the struggle from a small group POV, misses out a bit on some of the truly epic aspects of the battle. http://www.users.bigpond.com/battleforAustralia/battaust/KokodaCampaign/Isurava/IsuravaIndex.html

    Lonely Hearts

    Not bad I thought it well-paced and Gandolfini acted Travolta off the screen even if he was using his usual riffs, the wardrobe is fantastic, but the casting of Salma? the real Martha Beck was a big bad ugly woman, not a hot patootie like that.

    Akubra Coober Peedy size 61

    peabody? That's a hotel in Memphis I recall but Coober PEDY is a rough-as-guts opal mining town in the sunblasted wilderness of South Australia, a hell-hole where most of the population lives underground to escape the heat and flies, you need a big hat there.

    Egypt's Female Pharaoh mummy found

    seeing is believing I spose There's someone with a film about finding Noah's Ark at the local hall every few months as well, it's something the Chinese would like to be true, and makes a nice story, but make up your own mind I always say http://1421exposed.com/...

    Egypt's Female Pharaoh mummy found

    careful though! That book about the Chinese navigators supposedly circumnavigating the world was seriously debunked on Four Corners last year. The guy is a charlatan apparently, with previous form.
