Trust me Baz, “The Road” makes “1984” look like a Morcombe & Wise Christmas special, a father teaching his 10 year old son how to shoot himself is among the highlights (so he doesn’t get taken by the roving gangs) its not at all sensationalist, which probably explains why it was so chilling.

On your recommendation I will cut out the film and just go for the KFC!….there I’m happier already:D

1984

Went to see ‘The Road’ a couple of days ago.

Just released, it is set in a post-apocalyptic world ( cause unstated ) in which the sky is permanently grey and full of ash, no crops can grow, and most wildlife has died.

Society has broken down entirely, as the narrative follows the journey of a father and 10 year old son as they try to head south across the USA, to somewhere warmer.

Dressed in rags, foraging for food, they are in permanent fear of cannibalistic gangs who survive on human flesh. Misery is heaped on horror, in a hopeless desolate world.

Utterly dispiriting, it will leave you drained and despairing.

In the mid 80s I went to the cinema every week without fail, the only film I ever walked out of was George Orwells ‘1984’, you described that film with your last sentence also. I had to go into the newly opened Kentucky fried chicken to cheer myself up.

1984 was the most miserable film I had ever (tried to) watch.

Once they know, they’ll stab you in the head…..(or worse!)

I bought the CD Star Trek (2009 movie) off Ebay before I saw the film. If you like the trailer, buy the cd……you won’t regret it. If you like that, buy the cd soundtrack Avatar.

Was it Southpark where they were breeding a 5 arsed monkey??

Carrington VC

This afternoon with David Niven court marshalled for ‘borrowing’ army money.

Nicely done.

ooorrrrr………….make them watch a hundred hours of Walkers crisp adverts and convert them into ………….Crispianity.

Creaking door, lighten up!

Forbid them from owning property? Forbid them from using public parks? Forbid them from using public transport?

You could get them to sew a distinctive cloth patch on their outer clothing, a crescent perhaps…

…can’t use a six-pointed star…..that’s been done already! :rolleyes:

Interview their members and keep them under surveillance? Close their registered offices? Freeze their bank accounts? Seize their funds? Confiscate and destroy their documents? Shut down their website? Dismantle their printing, publishing and distribution apparatus?

Switch off their benefits, put them under curfew, give them ASBOs, attach ankle tags, take away their British citizenships, deport them to a country that they crave for with laws they desire.

….and send them to either Afghanistan or Iran where they have as much freedom as speech as they want!

ooooorrrrr………make them watch the whole series of Strictly Come Dancing.

There, sorted.:p
