    The only thing that does that to me, and I've no real idea why, is that scene in 'A Bridge Too Far' where the German envoy asks the surrounded paratroopers to surrender and the bloke deliberately misunderstands him and tells him they can't accept a German surrender because they haven't got the facilities to take them all prisoner. And that didn't even happen in reality.
    You're a tough nut Martin: you didn't flich or felt upset with the explicit depiction of the whipping of the young girl?

    I find it impossible to forget I am watching actors on a set. If it were to happen in real life and I was present then it would be a different matter.

    I agree with Marco that I could only get anything out of these Disney Pixar style films by seeing the kids and grandkids enjoying it in a family environment.

    I do like South Park and Family Guy but no grown man should be watching Toy Story

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
