Finally got around to watching a couple of programs about Television in the 1970's we recorded months ago. "It was alright in the 70's".

The shows were, in places, genuinely shocking to watch - and I mean shocking.

What we watched, accepted and laughed at just 30-40 years ago was, in many cases, simply unbelievable when compared with where we are now.

Racism, sexism, attitudes to smoking - just wow.....

Status: offline 		Care - Spoiler alert

I finally got around to watching Fury. Certainly not the worst war movie I’ve ever seen, and reasonably entertaining to sit through once, but a few gripes:

- War movies I guess have always been clichéd, but parts of this struck me as a WWII Platoon. The young green rookie who the battle-hardened soldiers initially don’t take to (before becoming bosom buddies by the film’s end) and the battle-hardened soldiers – who are a pretty unlikeable bunch and who appear to be more at war with each other than the enemy (before becoming bosom buddies by the film’s end).

- Speaking of being an unlikeable bunch – what the hell was the scene with the two German girls about?? In an earlier scene the tankers tell the rookie how much they respect and admire the sergeant (who has got them from North Africa to Germany (less one crewman who appears to be sans visage (despite no outward sign of damage to the tank)) – and then they go and behave like that toward him??

- I know that film-makers appear to have been told that the C-word is the new F-word and the F-word is the new S-word, and now they all appear to be using as much foul language as possible (fortunately the C-word was absent here) but come on. Was the use of profanity that generalised in the 40’s – even in war? and would they all have been so happy to swear so profusely in the front of ladies – even German ones? That scene didn’t feel right on so many levels.

- I know there is a trade-off between making something realistic and making something that works on camera, but really was that final scene the best they could do? Was the crew of Fury facing an SS Battalion or the Keystone cops? Grenades going off in a tank? Mmmmm what would the effect really have been. Okay you don’t want to show the full horror, but the guy looked like he'd accidentally nicked his face while shaving.

- Anyway, seen it, glad I did, but won’t be hurrying back for a second viewing.

Well worth the wait! This film is as good as expected and strongly recommended. Very clever idea and, in places, laugh out loud funny.

Great stuff Disney Pixar once again

I stopped going to the movie theatre a decade ago. But it is on top of films that I want to see. So maybe one day soon I will have the opportunity to watch it.

What were your thoughts on the subject as a result? Would you visit SeaWorld?

I watched Blackfish as well. A documentary well worth watching since it fuels a debate that is worth having.

*censored*

I suggest that you visit SeaWorld after you have spent a couple of minutes online checking that their morality confirms with your own standard.

I haven't seen Blackfish - although have read about it and the debate that surrounds it. I agree it is a debate that needs to be heard.

Personally I have no issue with what they are doing at Sea World and I will be happy to visit the park again if and when we are lucky enough to go back to Florida.

This decision is based purely on the evidence I have read and seen to date.
