It wouldn't get made today. I've found people don't get more tolerant, they just shift their tolerances around. That probably explains all the kids doing drugs and fucking while TV is mamby pampy. Dunno. It's a theory.
Arthur and the Britons is out on DVD. I just chewed through episode one.
Anyone remember Dougal and the Blue Cat? Back when that was in the cinema parents came out stunned and the kids bawling their eyes out. Everyone got sucker punched. The thing was a Hammer Horror movie.
That blue cat sat on the fence gives me the fucking creeps.

I vividly remember watching an old fella crying his eyes out watching Saving Private Ryan in the cinema, the beach landing scenes. It was quite upsetting, seeing someone affected like that. He probably was right "there" whilst watching that.

Yeah. I heard some vets on TV banging on about Medal of Honour. They said it was like being there. A friends father was a Hurricane pilot during WWII but sims never touched him. I guess, it's that immersion thing. It works differently depending on what it is and who it is.
I've done shit and been around so I've seen some of the reality behind news stories and some of that bollocks in movies really does happen. The media makes shit up all the time, and I'm seriously glad some things never went tits up. It makes you a bit more circumspect if nothing else...
We might all have done better but fuck me. Some people get a raw deal.
