I have never seen the original movie, "Oldboy" which was Korean, however I did watch the later remake starring Josh Brolin and thought that was pretty good, even though the other main actor Sharlto Copley, was IMO guilty of overacting at times. Nevertheless, another enjoyable evening spent watching old movies, and I also watched, "Get Out" (again) and am now seeking out older movies to enjoy.

Just veering a little bit off topic, but do you know if there are going to be any more episodes of Clarkson's Farm, because I really enjoyed the previous ones?

Found the classic movie, "Deliverence" on BBC iPlayer and as it has been years since I last saw it, I gave it a go!! Not disappointed and it was a good evenings entertainment.

I mainly watch BBC iPlayer and also the Australian "STAN" for the rugby and although I've tried even supposedly the best VPNs, none has proved infallible with occasional "dropouts" and blocking, so I switched to "Smart DNS proxy" and that has been great for at least a couple of years. Easy to install, not expensive and has been no problem whatsoever.

Well they may work for you, so keep your hopes up!

Thanks for the feedback @Pumpuynarak and let's hope that whatever he's given you helps with your problem. However if he has given you tablets called "Ucholine" (Bethanechol) then don't build your hopes up too much, as the two urologists I visited, even one in Bumrungrad, both gave me the same tablets and none of them worked for me. I think it is a stock standard procedure (giving out these tablets). However, having said that, I doubt whether these tablets would be given for inflammation, so fingers crossed for you and please keep me/us in the loop with your progress. Good luck.

I enjoyed it too and as I don't know enough about the genocide of the Armenians, I shall do some research on it.........thanks for the "heads up" on this movie.

I can't remember much about the original movie, "The Day of the Jackal", however I did like the movie starring Bruce Willis, called "The Jackal" and it also stars Sidney Poitier and Richard Gere. Well worth a watch IMO.

So the "false allegations" as regards stealing funds from the charity to fund his campaign, for which he pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay $2.1 million didn't really happen?? Or indeed the trump University scam through which he had to repay millions of dollars. And others such as the bankruptcies which defrauded working Americans of monies which was due to them, did not happen? Please post proof of the "false allegations". Looking forward to seeing his promises to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine, and in the Middle East (oh and build the wall and have Mexico pay for it)– – or were they just garbage from the mouth of an buffoon, who unfortunately will shortly become the president of the USA. My only hope is that his tenure will be cut short by virtue of his love of hamburgers!

I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but for those of you who are interested in football, there are a couple of good movies on BBC iPlayer and they are called: – "The Keeper" (about Bert Trautmann and his beginnings and time in English football) and it is very well acted; and the other one is about Brian Clough (also well acted) and his time at Derby County then Leeds United and it is called, "The Damned United".

I have just finished an interesting three part series (59 minutes per episode) from BBC iPlayer, called "Lucan" and it was worth the watch IMO. This especially as the murder and scandal around Lord Lucan happened when I was about 26 years old, and it was the talk of the town, as the saying goes. Obviously I can't give too much of the plot away, however it does focus on one man's crusade to find Lucan, even after all this time, because he had his own reasons.

Mine too............

Adjusted to suit your (trump is non racist) viewpoint....... The world and America require a respectable, forward-thinking US President, as Kamala Harris will be – not unabashed racist, a deeply misogynist, erratic, vengeful, narcissistic bully who is a convicted criminal.

Apropos your post.....this from the New Zealand Herald:- "The world and America require a respectable, forward-thinking US President, as Kamala Harris will be – not an unabashed racist, a deeply misogynist, erratic, vengeful, narcissistic bully who is a convicted criminal". https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/letters

I often open the downloads using VLC and that way I can add/delete sub-titles etc (usually!).

True enough.

Well cowboy I did post a reply to this, but apparently it infringed the AN rules, so here is a précis for you without infringing those rules – – 1). Trump lied about building the wall and making Mexico pay for it because even though a small portion of it was built, it was paid for by the US taxpayer, so another lie. 2). He lied about being involved in a helicopter crash landing, which in fact never happened and you can look that up, and it was an outright lie. 3). Trump was ordered to pay $2.1 million to the charities from which he stole their funds for his own personal use. Plenty of information available about that, and he actually pleaded guilty to this felony . 4). He lied about having sex with Stormy Daniels. 5). There are currently 34 felony cases pending against this compulsive liar, as well as a few other cases such as one where he took confidential documents from the White House and hid/stored them in Mar a Largo and lied that he had returned them all, when he hadn't stopped. 6). Trump University was another scam which he was convicted of and had to repay huge amounts of money because of this. 7).Historian Douglas Brinkley stated that U.S. presidents have occasionally "lied or misled the country," but none were a "serial liar" like Trump. Donnel Stern, writing in Psychoanalytic Dialogues in 2019, declared: "We expect politicians to stretch the truth. But Trump is a whole different animal," because Trump "lies as a policy", and "will say anything" to satisfy his supporters or himself. 8). Trump said he wrote the book, "The Art of the Deal" when in fact he didn't as it was ghostwritten by journalist Tony Schwartz. 9). Trump claimed that at the time of the September 11 world trade Centre attack that he had a view from his apartment which was specifically aimed at the World Trade Centre, and he added that he watched those people jump. Trump lived in Trump Tower more than 4 miles away and he did not respond to enquiries about how it was possible for him to see people jumping from that far away. 10). Trump also stated that he saw Muslims clapping at the world trade Centre attack, and that has been disputed by other people who were there. I could go on for many more pages, but more information is available if one cares to look for it. Oh and before I forget, trump lied about having sex with Stormy Daniels and he can't help himself because he is a compulsive liar and very likely has some sort of mental disorder. So, Cowboy, I will ask, "what is wrong with you"????????? PS.

They don't, but the trumpies don't want to see/know the truth so they make up this nonsense about others spreasding lies about him, when in fact he does a great job of lying just about every time he opens his mouth........over 30,000 lies at the last count and all of them documented. He just can't help himself, which leads many to believe that he is suffering from some sort of mental illness.

Imo a very good movie that focused more on Brian Epstein than the Beatles, although they (the actors) made the movie as well. It was my era (born in 1947) and the songs in it really did bring back memories although at the time I/we had no idea of Brian Epstein's darker side....a sad ending for a talented and driven man.

There were 34 felony counts in all........... 1). On May 30, 2024, Trump became the first U.S. president to become a convicted felon. A unamimous 12-person jury found that Trump fraudulently disguised those installments as corporate legal expenses in violation of New York law. The jurors said they unanimously agreed that Trump falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. There were 34 felony counts in all. Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsification of business records in the first degree, which is a felony in New York. Below is just one of plenty of links to the Felon trump. https://apnews.com/article/trump-trial-deliberations-jury-testimony-verdict-85558c6d08efb434d05b694364470aa0 2). NEW YORK (AP) — A judge Thursday ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to an array of charities as a fine for misusing his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests. He pleaded guilty. Last week, Justice Saliann Scarpulla of the New York Supreme Court ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million in restitution to charity after admitting to New York Attorney General Letitia James that he and his children had violated their fiduciary duties as officers and directors of the now-shuttered Donald J. Trump Foundation. As a result of that failure, charitable dollars — consistently and over many years — often benefited Trump rather than the causes the president has repeatedly claimed he supports. https://www.politico.com/news/2019/11/07/trump-charity-foundation-misuse-067411 Plenty more links to the crook who basically stole money from a charity. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-foundation-president-ordered-to-pay-2-million-by-new-york-judge-over-misuse-of-funds/ A summary:-- A Manhattan jury convicted former President Donald J. Trump in May of falsifying business records to cover up a hush-money payment to a porn star. He has been charged with dozens of other felonies across three additional cases: two federal and one in Georgia.

Now for something completely different – – if you want to watch a movie which is at once very different, shocking, alarming and at times erotic, then the movie, "The Substance" is one for you! Once you get into it, you really can't let go and full marks to Demi Moore for allowing herself to be filmed in the nude in this movie, and also to Margaret Qualley for the same reason who by the way is a lot younger. A movie of which I have never seen the like before!
