Too small. We need to re-annexe Australia and send the 5 million HK Chinese that Boris is so keen to accommodate there.
Dunno,it could bring down the price of a take away ?

And although it was only released as a TV two-part special, The Stand (my favourite King book) was excellent.

Carrie and The Dead Zone were ok.
I liked the original IT as well as The Stand.

Yes I did. I concur

Read the Stand and IT. Were always going to be tricky to make but I liked the originals. I believe they are remaking the Stand but the main guy will likely be black.

There is a strong rumour they are recasting the remake of Mary Poppins using a black actor - the film is provisionally titled Mary Pippins

it will be set in New Orleans in 1912 and Mary will be the home-help who sings for everyones supper. In this version it doesn't end well as Mary is involved in a local Police misunderstanding which results in a city-wide riot and her unfortunate demise. This forms a big part of the films finale, all strings and trumpets.
Not a dry eye in the house and already tipped for next years honours.

White men can't jumps a tad racist. I much prefer white men can jump a little bit. And snow White and the seven dwarfs should be snow sunburnt and the seven heshe transgender short people.
Love a cup of Rosey I do.

Lady P loves a weepy and was in bits last week when 'Beaches' was on tv. Based on a book of the same name, and she read that too. No mean feat for a northern girl. She says the film was as good. I tried watching it with her but fell asleep after having 24 Estrellas at a bbq.

But that's not to say I'm not a bit of a softie myself and 'Escape to Victory', also based on a 1961 book had the tears flowing. I didn't read the book as it was in Hungarian but I doubt very much if an American POW saved that penalty in it and a Brazilian with a broken arm scored an overhead kick.
