    Watched my horror film. It was called... wait for it... Don't be Afraid of the Dark [2010]. Well there was little danger of that. It was a spooky mini-monster tale of an old house with a cellar and a deep pit. All the elements were there bar the genuinely frightening bits. Little Sally is a sullen, introverted child who discovers some little friends in the cellar. They turn out to be otherwise. Slightly unusual ending, I'll give it that. Guy Pierce stars as the doubting father, separated from his partner. Katie Holmes is his new girlfriend who is sympathetic to his daughter, and Sally is played quite well by Bailee Madison. Pierce is actually the weak link here. He doesn't convince at all. There's a point where he turns to his girlfriend and says, I really love my daughter, and you think really.? You're not sure he actually cares about anything, such is his lack lustre performance. Which is unusual for Pierce, because he's more often than not quite a bit better than the average thespian. Produced by Guillermo Del Toro, who co-wrote it too. Perhaps he should have directed as well. Entertaining-ish only.

    Oh Impsaint, I was just trying to put a bit of humour onto the long drawn out debate. You seemed to have missed that!

    I've just watched The Walk. I didn't enjoy it as much as the 2008 documentary on the subject (Man on a Wire) but still a fascinating watch. Incredible to think that someone would and could get a wire between the twin towers and then wire walk up and down for 45 minutes. Incredible feat (and feet).

    It did make me feel Queasy too.

    I don't think he is racist because he wants to tighten immigration policy. ''

    I think he is racist because he posted a ton of racist crap on a message board and I'm not buying his defense that he was hacked.

    Absolutely agree. I was, and still am, shocked (but unsurprised) about the whole vote and still thing we'll suffer as a country in the long run, but it's done, the nation has spoken and now we have to get on with it. We cannot have another vote - otherwise what's the point of democracy?

    Face book post by a Police officer . He was one of the 3 killed in Baton Rouge .



    "I've experienced so much in my short life and these last three days have tested me to the core," he wrote on 8 July, amid a period of extreme tension between black people and police in the city.
    Discussing the difficulties of being a police officer and a black man in America currently, he said he was "disappointed in some family, friends and officers for some reckless comments".
    "In uniform I get nasty hateful looks and out of uniform some consider me a threat."
    He ends his post saying: "These are trying times. This city must and will get better. I'm working in these streets so any protesters, officers, friends, family, or whoever, if you see me and need a hug or want to say a prayer. I got you."

    People pile rubbish and spit on the spot where the NIce murderer died. I'd hope they just burn his body without a funeral....doesn't deserve respect...but swine like this have been returned to their families for burial before. I don't agree with that....murderers used to be buried in prisons....no respect should be shown.

    Anyone see the BBC Panorama on the police in New York? Pretty damming.

    The family deserve to decide what happens to his body, it's the right thing to do.

    I'm not defending him. I'm just saying that the article is relevant, pertinent and quite amusing, whatever one's personal opinion of the bloke. Many on here hate Jeremy Clarkson, but many of the same people agreed with his stance on the EU.
    Anyway, I'm with FLT on this....enough is enough.
