I just wanted to distinguish them from the aliens who want to devour our nubile virgins or enslave us to mine out the core of the planet.

Bringing @Davey Jones' Locker Valerian discussion into this thread. I think the film is on dodgy ground. If fans of the original like DJL are upset then they are not going to go and I do not think there is enough in that trailer to convince me that this is worth spending my money on. Like John Carter I will probably wait and watch it on a plane or on DVD. I actually quite liked John Carter despite its linearity but I had not forked out £30 to take the family to see it which may have reduced my expectations. My daughter is boycotting the Ghost in the Shell movies because it has been Americanised and the same goes for the up coming Death Note movie. and another thing while I am ranting why do we even need a Beauty and the Beast remake. The original animated version is the closest Disney came to perfection and imo it should have beaten Silence of the Lambs to the Best Picture Oscar surely remakes should be those films that came close but no cigar. Not just a cynical marketing ploy.

I'm looking forward to the next one where I can actually play.

Carrie Fisher was two years old when her parent's divorced who were both very public figures and seventies hollywood is a very different place she had a number of chaotic relationships. I do not think there is any comparison between the two of them.

Endometriosis apparently........

Daisy Ridley has been in a number of TV roles since 2013 (Casualty etc) and she is the Great niece of Arnold Ridley (Dad's Army). However she does suffer from a rare medical condition. She will be in Kenneth Branagh's remake of Murder on the Orient Express. I keep getting her confused with Felicity Jones who was in Rogue One who I suddenly realised had played Catherine Moorland in Northanger Abbey and I couldn't get it out of my head for the second half of the film

I didn't use the word dictatorship.

I get the impression Daisy Ridley has her head screwed on right. Carrie Fisher's life was chaotic before Star Wars. Probably Max von Sydow.

Maybe this discussion should go in the Films thread of Extra-curricular. Keep on the right side of the Admins

Even if the aliens were benign but authoritative and shared their technology and cleaned up the planet and brought peace and prosperity there would still be a faction who wanted to take back control

Would be rude not to reply off topic but John Carter anyone? On topic Caroline Blakiston is older than I thought she was

It is interesting that two of the lowest scoring ties in this round face each other in the next (Me/RadGuy & DDT/Switch) we have three points between the four of us. Makes the semis something to look forward to in May.

When we finally leave will the EU say "So Long and Thanks For All The Fish"?

Beauty of this contest. So many ways to win. Bob Dole and Geoffrey Bayldon would do it for you.

That gives him a unique and a hit in a empty line.

All very good questions. The problem with Wales is that it is far too small and there are very few pure blood welsh and a lot of the property is owned by English people. I think they will be happy to reap the rewards of failed independence (more devolution) but if Scotland (and N.I.) go they will suffer a back lash because all the funding models will have to be redrawn and there is no money.

My mirror is crap it makes me look fat with grey hair.

Why do Giraffe put avacado on their vegetarian breakfasts. A couple of vege sausages would at least make you feel like you have eaten a meal.

Wondering how cold the air will be.

Off on my travels again today. Vienna. First trip in two months. Hope I will be OK without Cat watching over me.

Last Word fodder.

Lets face it. Carswell only defected to UKIP to put pressure on Cameron. He was never really a genuine kipper.

Unless the pressure is coming from constituents Carswell will hold tight. Conservatives might offer him a seat in the House of Lords for him not to stand in 2020.

I have prepared a list for the next round which I will send to you on Wednesday on the off chance Emma Morano and Bobby Doerr die in a freak skydiving accident on Frisay.

I was in a meeting on a phone so you were never going to get a fully reasoned argument but an approach like this would result in a two tier system where the rich would pay for private health care.
