Some truth will not appear overnight.

I read some comments and sensed some good ideas and others shallowness of thinking

Human life – my dear friends – is on the stake here.

And this thinking of “anybody” will change by the passage of time.

Deep inside you . Think of something changed in your attitude towards a topic or else ten years ago from now.

Surely some during teenage thinks differently from the twenties and thirties.
Ask the elderly about the taste of apples when they were younger?!

Fahrenheit 451, Slaughter House 5 & Superman 4 confused me for the same reason.

Didn’t someone else see Malcolm X and wonder when the previous nine Malcolms were released?

@ chrsbol And then there’s the story of the movie Timbuktu having its title shortened to Timbuk so folk wouldn’t think it was a sequel.

Reminds me of the story of the renaming of The Madness of George 111
to The Madness of King George so the American audiences didn’t think it was a sequel.

Emmerich is a bit of an arssewit, true. But how many American cinema goers would recognise the Sistine Chapel, let alone Mecca and Medina? Come on, these are the same Americans who need ‘London, England’ to appear at the bottom of the screenw when a red bus drives past the Palace of Westminster. ‘Paris, France’, cue picture of Eiffel Tower. Idiots.

Incidentally, is it true that the Kaaba contains a meteorite that’s been worshipped by Arabs (those famous non-idolators) since prehistoric times?

If I could direct a disaster flick, I’d have a meteor wipe out Mecca and Medina, smaller ones landing on the more obnoxious neighbourhoods within Israel and Palestine, a huge blob of antimatter erasing every US red state, a nasty gas wafting through the Vatican (killing off PanzerPope while sparing the artwork) and finally send something small and vicious down the chimney of Lambeth Palace.

I won’t be watching the movie 2012 until after Jan 1st 2013.

There are morons who beleive that the world is actually going to end in 2012, you know like it was going to end in 2000 and it was supposed to end last year when they switched on the large hadron collider and Earth was going to be sucked into a black hole.

Beer and bacon in Islam’s answer to the Tardis? They’re sharpening their knives as we speak, Rog.
