I lived in Hong Kong in the 80's - they had a toothpaste which made me raise my eyebrows - it is on the far left.

When they realised it was politically incorrect they changed the branding to one in the middle. When they figured that that wasn't fooling anyone they settled on the one on the right

This is the best training thread ever.

I still have a tube of the one on the left.

Gee I went for the day and it turned into David and Margaret, haven't read through it all, kept getting stuck on the young lady wearing the light blue inflated life jacket, but somebody mentioned the film "the Party', great film starring Peter Sellers, helps watching it if you have smoked or are smoking those extra strong cigarettes (not that I ever inhaled)

[The Devil Inside 2,147]

Ah FINALLY a Peter Greenaway fan! A Demonlander with superb taste in Cinema!

There is more than one Greenaway fan on Demonland chap

I was going to post something similar NB! I remember getting that somewhere in SE Asia (the box was the same but with green trim). The reason I picked it up was because the name had just recently changed and clearly on the label it had, as a nod to political correctness "Darkie is now Darlie".

Ty for source. I wasn't gonna ask.

And no insults or belittling of others, makes me feel homesick. That mandee is a jerk. That's better.

PS: Amelie is a great movie. What about Metroplois - Fritz lang

Amelie was ok but is overrated. I'm pretty sure it gets its standing in society by hipsters saying "my favourite movie is Amelie, it's French, you've probably never heard of it".

Metropolis was amazing. I have heard that there's a director's cut that has something like 40 extra minutes but I haven't seen it

Yes there is, have it, more restored than extra though

Agree with Amelie, became a bit of a hipster boast, bit like Dark Side of the Moon in it's day

[dpositive 1,557]

Depends on the gallery ManDee

I guess if you're talking visually, I might agree with you. But narratively I find 2001 completely uninteresting. Plus it doesn't really explore the notion of AI evolving or becoming more. It just is. It doesn't really explore the concepts of rebirth and evolution, stuff just happens.

I'm not sure this is really requiring the viewer to fill in the gaps so much as splashing a few concepts on the screen and seeing what sticks.

A Clockwork Orange is a completely different beast. I think themes are actually explored in that movie, as opposed to 2001 which just feels like a disjointed set of partially formed ideas.

But I guess that's art, it makes people feel different things and encourages debate.

On Frozen - it's great enjoyable fluff. Love the music, love the story. It's not trying to say a whole lot. It's not trying to be more than it is.

Interesting metaphorical allusions to team tactics, systems and breakdown of procedure. Especially the disjointed set of partially formed ideas.

Hopefully our players are grasping these more refined intellectual juxtapositions and are able to increase the allegory quotient to deploy opposition incursions. Perhaps later using alliteration and onomatopoeia to completely stop them in their tracks.

While engaging them in a discourse of cerebral ephemera some our more linguistically challenged can just go about the actual scoring part of the game.

I just hope the rebuild and renewal will take less time to learn the the actual game of football that seems to have challenged many for some time now.

[ManDee 7,092]

Bit harsh on the quirky Amelie, number 27 on IMDb's best foreign films. You guys are probably into Ingmar Bergman.

Metropolis is excellent. Amelie I like a lot, but you should check out Jeunet's more recent efforts, MicMacs and The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet. They are very very good, particularly the latter.

Really? Interesting.

Where does City of God sit? That's my all time favourite foreign film.

Great film. Just checked another IMDb list (foreign language) and Amelie is number 2 and City of God is 7

Interesting, a few there I haven't seen.

Must watch Pan's Labarynth again. I don't think I was in the right frame of mind when I watched it the first time.

Thanks for the link :D
