It is very clear from what I wrote that I was referring to The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare as being a British film. When you said in your original comment that “What started off well, digresses the minute Eiza González appears”. This sentence means it changes subject, not becomes worse. As her part in the film is of somebody gaining intelligence for the raid, which is the main plot of the film, she in no way caused any form of digress. I did look it up, just to check. A thing I’m sure you have not done.
I’ve rescued, and released, many animals in my lifetime. They suffer MORE than we do. As humans, we are responsible for the decimation of biodiversity. The answer is not more beautiful docs or people rescuing animals and NOT allowing them to rewild.
Same. No animal is “bouncing back”. Humans are the greatest threat to every living thing, including ourselves. We’re at best a cancer to this planet & false ideologies have given invalid license to weak minds to commit atrocities. Schweitzer’s thoughts on this have done much to shine the light on this criminal darkness so that it cannot find shelter in claims of dominion any longer.
That depends on what your talking about as for example Disney putting huge amounts of money into the show is a good thing but changing it so that the Americans technically get it ahead of us British does seem like an odd move.
I’m only referring to content, distribution decisions are theirs to make and seeing as how they bought the streaming rights it does make sense they would release it on their own platform 1st.
True but you can blame them for making a move that makes alot of the UK fanbase who they should pleasing very angry.
With all that’s going on in the world, that seems a silly thing for people to get mad about.
Disney only bought the streaming rights. They have no creative control of the show. Russell Davies has complete creative control. Sony, the BBC, Bad Wolf Studios and Disney can offer input, but in the end Davies is the only one calling the shots. He has said before that he is a fan of Disney, in particular Pixar, and that he wanted to add more fantasy elements to the show. Anyone not liking it should blame Davies, not Disney, but for many that won’t fit into the anti-Disney narrative some are pushing now.
The latest foray into stating [falsely] that the big cat populations are increasing is a fairy tale. If anyone cares to do research, they will see that man is encroaching, poaching, and legally hunting all big cat species to extinction. We need to curb our enthusiasm for expansion and domination… lest we do not survive — but that’s already set in motion. A beautiful experience to look at, as you stated, Random.

Your talking about Doctor Who fans we get upset every single time a new actor is cast as The Doctor lol.
Well drat!
Almost every single character had a new voice. And the storyline was weak at best.
Yeah, just got around to the second episode, and have to say, this is pretty darn good so far…
It’s not the end of the world, but the year of release for this film is 2013.
managed to watch 17 minutes of that drivel, before pulling the plug… seems like the writers had never watched a dr. who episode in their lives. Bad over acting, and that fella is not the doctor.. Jodie at least acted like the doctor, she just had crap scripts ,. I reckon they have finally killed dr. who. for me at least..Others may like it, I am just dissapointed..
It’s a long way from Monkey Trouble to American Beauty for Thora Birch.
After almost 5 years of fearmongering and stoking division, how could they be so utterly unprepared for this possibility?
The FBI had to know. It was all over the internet. He had personnel replaced at the top level of the military…I was expecting him to call martial law and take over and it’s a wonder he didn’t. The liberals have been complacent for decades and continue to sleepwalk. There are still many who should be held accountable for what happened that day. Looked like the crowd were better armed than the capital cops. Idk why they didn’t shoot more of the rioters.
Excellent cinematography and story telling about the legacy of the Catholic missionary Sister Francesca Saverio Cabrini. Although I would have liked to have seen more on the correlation between the “black hand mafia” and the Catholic church during this era. Good watch, thanks for the links.
“My Octopus Teacher” is really good too in case you havn’t seen it.
I cried my eyes out on that one. Imo it’s better than even this one is.
She was oversocialised/dependent on humans. For a wild creature, that is the same thing. Whatever back to you. You really don’t like to have a dialogu. You just want to be right, at whatever cost. Many times we agree with you, but in this case you are wrong, full stop. Do some research on over socialised wild animals with humans and the detriment that brings to the ENTIRE ecosystem. Good luck GR.
How incredibly thin-skinned of you to attack me personally because I disagreed with you. Did you watch the entire thing? She had already been going off and fishing by herself and interacting with other otters even before he stopped feeding her. She had gone off for a couple of months before she returned pregnant to a place she knew she would be safe to give birth. She was fully capable of taking care of herself. He didn’t interact with her cub, and the 2 left when it was time for it to go out into the world to learn how to survive in it. No harm was done to her in any way, full stop. If you can’t engage with others without getting your feelings hurt and lashing out because they don’t agree with you, maybe stop going on other people’s comments to contradict them. I definitely would invite you to stop engaging with me. Good luck to you as well. :)
Not for changing the characters ethnic orientation there isn’t.
How is ethnicity in any way relevant? Never mind. That’s my cue to disengage.

As humans, we definitely need to reign ourselves in…Think you can domesticate, then dominate a big cat…uh, yeah…How’d that work out for Sigfreid and Roy ?
The photography alone is wonderful, but cannot touch the irreplaceable importance & beauty of its subject.

Not when you take into account that the show is and always has been a British institution with the show itself being made and produced in the UK and when the show did air episodes worldwide at the same time they always put the UK audience first.
The show has a viewership of almost twice the population of the UK. Like it or not, it belongs to the world now. The BBC is British television, and they went into this deal knowing full well that this would happen. You can’t blame the player for how the game is played.
What started off well, digresses the minute Eiza González appears… then it goes down hill FAST. Unfunny, and completely unrealistic, this is the American remake of Sisu, whhich was deficient in its own ways, but this is worse! Passable, but yawnable, amusement. Thanks for the links! We would never have rented this…
I thought you were commenting on a different film, as what you wrote makes so little sense.
Yes, the true story of an actual raid. A raid that did really take place and pretty much saved Europe, is unrealistic… Sisu is fiction. It is a British film by the way, with some American backing.
Also, you should probably look up what digress means. Think you’ll be surprised.
I said it was going to be terrible and I was so right.
I bet Disney execs are probably deciding who to blame for sinking money into this deal and a lot of people are going to get sacked and deservedly so.
Just Terrible - even worse than I expected.
For what reason? Because you didn’t like it? Boo hoo, take your ball and go home.
ok can officially say what ever Disney gets their hands in is going to be trash, sad

5/5 for me - It’s been a long time since there was such a good war action movie. I didn’t know it was going to be so good. I’m absolutely going to watch this one again. To find out this is based on real people and I had no idea that Ian Fleming based his character, James Bond, on an actual person.
Yeah that is something that is going to take some getting used especially as there really wasn’t a presendent set for it before now unlike a time lord becoming a female for example.
Actually, the reboot in 2005 set the precedent. Technically, this would be what, season 40?
It’s like an old gum shoe detective show at the beginning. I don’t like the filming companies. Jean Claude is still a beefy catch at his age (speaking from a mature woman’s perspective). The writer sucks. The premise and actors were good, but they got stuck with a script that didn’t do them justice. JCVD still has great action moves. Some unexpected laughs. This movie is going to do very well outside of the US market.
True but you can blame them for making a move that makes alot of the UK fanbase who they should pleasing very angry.
Technically series 14. Not sure about the doctor choice. The doc always changes but never orientation. Lets see what this season brings.
I’m pretty openminded but I still think Whitley Strieber is full of sh!t
Molly and no, it’s not that. It’s actually wonderful and horrific simultaneously. As a naturalist, the rescue was outstanding, the rest was abusive to the natural world.

Just finished watching episodes one and two back to back with episode two having the better plot that’s more suited for being premiere episode of anew series where as the plot of Space Babies having a plot that’s more suited to that of a Doctor Who Christmas special.

folks will adjust what they write in order to attract a buyer.. buyers will buy what they like.. so its safe to presume either way.. is there an anti-anti-disney movement ? .. lol thats a lot of ants being chucked around.. I thought the maestro was a well played character.. much better than the portrayal of the doctor.. I at least could watch the whole second episode..
Disney didn’t buy the show. BBC still owns it. Disney only has distribution rights. I can’t speak for anyone but myself, I’m not pro Disney, just anti-nonsense.
well we know germany lost the war … so kinda takes all the fun out of watching it .. !!! ill take a hard pass ‘’!
Not a good episode. Yeah it was silly but it was not funny. Maybe I’ve reached my limit of “stepping on a butterfly” jokes and i’m too old for booger and fart jokes.
So weird that it airs here first. A first for everything!
Yeah weirdly the Americans are getting the better time slot ahead of us British.
well i have been watching it for over 50 years! and I’ve seen change after change… If nothing else, the show moves with the times…. and i accepted that long ago, especially after watching my beloved Sarah Jane leave in The Hand of Fear. i had just started high school at the time, and couldn’t believe that she would ever leave…
The profound love of animals and beauty is strong in this one. Definitely one for the family to watch together.
