A bit irritated with myself [again!]...
Settled in to watch one of my all time favourite films, yesterday evening, for the first watch in probably a decade...
Some two and a half hours later I was left feeling totally underwhelmed...
Has my barometer, of what makes a great film, slipped that far with age

MS - I've done the same with my kids with some 80's classics that I grew up with. Some comedies, some blockbusters. They would usually leave the room shaking their heads after 20 minutes. On occasions I had to agree with them. Some stand the test of time, some really don't. It is the sets and CGI, or equivalent, that really don't stand up.

The temporary security set up at Manchester Airport T1. Crazy small for the amount of passengers that go through.

Jazz hands because clapping causes anxiety
Isn't that the deaf sign language for clapping? I thought it was used for deaf performers who couldn't hear applause.

It's still a very much to be watched film... Perhaps, for me, watching via Amazon, on a mere 55inches. was the issue...
It's a film that [perhaps] really needs the full on cinema 'experience'...

That is the case, but I think Amanda was referring to a news story that came out yesterday saying some college or something had adopted it as well because, as she said, 'clapping can cause anxiety' apparently. Words fail.

Yes it is but some university somewhere has adopted it because clapping can cause anxiety!

For people who are autistic but still want to attend. Not saying it's the right move, but if you're going to complain about it then the full reason should probably be stated.

Ahh don't get me started on how many people are now on the "spectrum"...of course there are many genuine cases but it seems to be touted by every parent with a badly behaved child these days!

Liberal use of the word 'anxiety' and what they think it means.

Golfers who throw banana skins on the course claiming "it will degrade". Yeah in about three weeks it might. My own course had a small hole dug around a sprinkler head whilst the greenkeeper was working on the watering system. I watched two members, one of whom was a committee member, throw banana skins in said hole.
Just course ignorant peasants and the sooner we are allowed to hunt these people with dogs the better.
