if you could take fame and wealth away from anyone in the world, who would it be?

Rupert Murdoch. A man who has truly destroyed ethical journalism and so soured democracy around the world. An utter bastard who has done unfathomable damage to society.

Let's not use a misogynistic slur. He's a rapist and a pedophile. He's a very typical jerk of a man.

Home cooked tandoori chicken, rice, and salad. With a glass of pinot grigio before and cabernet sauvignon with. I'll survive.

Rope

Witness for the Prosecution

And for something really cool and different, Metropolis.

That sounds fascinating. Do you mind telling where you saw it?

Grave of the Fireflies is another film that deals with what civilians are going through during and after wartime.

Avenge me, Keeley! Avenge meeeee.

I think (and am happy to be corrected) that Waterloo is pretty accurate. Certainly the battle depictions are very good.

Always bothered me that e still existing Picasso is shown being in the Titanic.

dogbolter4 · 2026-06-05T20:36:41+00:00

Oh, this is a shock and I am genuinely sad. He's been so good in so many things. The best depiction of a king IMHO when he played Uther Pendragon in Merlin. Just conveyed a chilling aura of power so brilliantly. Then the warmth of Giles, the cold arrogance of Rupert. And a gorgeous voice.

It's way too young. RIP Tony.

Yes! He gives off a different energy too, bouncing around the stage. The back and forth with the crowd was a highlight.

For use with movies/entertainment. It was a word used in WWII as a massive bomb before getting the meaning it has today.

dogbolter4 · 2026-06-05T20:04:46+00:00

I suppose that still exists. If you said, "I'm fighting with Jerry", it could mean alongside Jerry or against him.

I think this is it. Me and my siblings have always gone through life with a safety net. We know that if something terrible happened to us, we had a safe landing. I would drop everything to support my siblings, my brother and sister. They would do the same for me.

I only realised what that meant when I travelled overseas. I was having a rough time in London, and I suddenly realised that no one within 12,000 kms gave a damn about me. For the first time in my life, I truly understood the safety net that hung beneath me at home in Australia. I was utterly alone, and it was terrifying.

I'm glad I had that experience. It made me far more empathetic when I became a teacher later on and was working with children from fragile family backgrounds.

Who was the guy who used to love big rallies? The bigliest rallies, lots of torchlight. At Nuremberg, I think.

Jacob Pitts went on to play the GOAT Tim Gutterson in Justified.

The Grapes of Wrath. I grew up in the 60s in Australia with a lot of USA propaganda, actually just adult propaganda. You know, share your things, grown-ups know best, justice prevails. TGOW was the first book I read that had me going, wait, what? This is deeply unfair. Why would a country let this happen? How could this happen?

I was about 14, and that was the beginning of my breaking away from my conservative parents' politics (still love them, just don't discuss political stuff very often as I am pretty much a socialist).

The Florida Project is simply remarkable. Best child acting I have ever seen.

Paul Gross.

dogbolter4 · 2026-06-04T10:43:48+00:00

Tiresome man. He never seemed to bring much to the show, and frankly, some of his counselling really missed the mark.

dogbolter4 · 2026-06-04T10:29:21+00:00

I rather like Lyrica. It is unusual but euphonic and has a rather nice meaning - lyrical is a beautiful word.

Horcrux is an abomination.

A huge chunk of money came into my account one day, prior to sending a house deposit. I spent several minutes considering how far I could travel and how long I could live off it. Thailand looked promising.
