When it comes to hi fi, it is a proven fact that ladies always pick the unit with the smallest equipment.
I feel lucky to have seen the amazing films that I have seen, the ones that blew my mind, and I loved as a child, entertained me as a teen, and we're thought provoking as an adult; that raises the question, it you were a God, had infinite power, what would your perfect film be if you made one. I'd pick 1980s Arnold Schwarzenegger, furr bikini clad Raquel Welch, a trip on Nautilus (with captain Nemo), special effects by Ray Hairyhausen ( Sinbad ) and Willis O'brien (King Kong). Perhaps chitty chitty bang bang with a flux capacitor?
Id have Terry Gilliam direct Madness is Better than Defeat, Ned Beauman's latest. Don't really care what actors he used. Maybe Billy Bob Thornton and Tilda Swinton.
I'm more of a leg man, but Raquel gave satisfaction in both departments!
Akita! - That's about all she said in One Million Years B.C., but who was focussing on the dialogue (or lack of it)?
P.S. "Ray Hairyhausen" - that made me laugh! 😀
Ahhhh, dyslexia, the gift that keeps on giving....
A wide vocabulary and dyslexia make for a frustrating combination, especially whilst typing.
(I had to look up how to spell both vocabulary and frustrating)

Thanks Chris. You are recognizing the value and intent of this thread and steering it back on course. Hats off to you my friend.
I have spent a lot of time ... 22 hours watching a documentary about D-Day (D-DAY 24 HOURS) from the same guys (Sparty & Indy) that make the weekly WW2 series, retelling the war week by week.
War isn't cool as Indy Neidell once said, but history is always interesting and in this lengthy documentary some myths are busted, out of one is a big surprise.
The paratroopers and gliders that landed in the night before the invasion did actually achieve some 95% of their goals.
The fields, the Germans had flooded, didn't kill very many troopers. The water was maybe 1-2 ft deep and it would be extreme lack of luck if someone did get under water.
The paratrooper that landed on the church in St Marie Eglise may probably be a myth.
And finally, when the last documents about the Dieppe Raid was opened to the public it is clear that the raid was to capture machines, codebooks and whatever the British intelligence need to decode German messages, but covered as a raid to cause havoc to the Germans. Several such raids had successfully been launched and MI5 or 6 or 7 had become overconfident that it was just to send in the troops, do some wrecking while some guys sneeked into a Nazi HQ and steal stuff.
The one orchestrating everything was 007 James Bond, sitting on a vessel outside Dieppe waiting for the commandos to return. Well, his name was Ian Fleming.
I am reading abook on quackery and did the other nite read about snake oil a substance originally originating from snakes and was said to help "lubricate joints, bones and muscles". However like the REAL thing was useless, the snake oil came to be less snakey and was most often just any kind of oil with stuff added to make it smell or look effective.
There was snake oil sold in Sweden once and one producer switched to other ingrediences, but the name still lingers on.

'Bengay', which is made by a reputed company, has aspirin, menthol and camphor as the active ingredients in different versions.
Capasaicin, from chilies, has also been used in pain killers for skin application.
This is a topic for discussion among old people, with passions running high because many brands and formulas are sold.
Of course, bowel movements, and medicines for those, are seen to occupy their attention as well.

I did try on the laserdiod in my CD-player and got a somewhat .... how to put it??? .... "better sound".
The thick book I am reading addresses all kind of quackery, and I am happy to live in a country where the authorities have a mean look at whatever derp quackers are throwing at us.
And it is funny that an ointment that once WAS made from snakes is now a general term for all kinds of BS. Anyhow I have found a perfect piece of sound enhancing equipment - a QUACKTI - that muffles all distortion.
The eyes remind me of the joke about the sadist and the masochist. The masochist cries "Beat Me!! Beat Me!!' The sadist replies
" ..........no......"
" ..........no......"
