I do hope it hasn't put you off, though if you ARE going to see it I'd say that the 3D would be a definite 'plus' - unless your one of those people who experiences headaches or nausea with wearing the specs.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-85342472461346667312013-01-15T08:42:05.688-08:002013-01-15T08:42:05.688-08:00I was wondering if you'd be seeing this one, P...I was wondering if you'd be seeing this one, Paul, and reading now that your reaction was congruent with mine is no surprise.<br /><br />Btw: a couple of weeks ago you left a comment on my review of 'Quartet' which, unfortunately (and very unusually) I didn't see until several days later. I don't know if you've been back there since, but just to let you know that I left a response there mentioning a thing or two you may not have known about that film.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-16739874445872263002013-01-15T08:36:41.745-08:002013-01-15T08:36:41.745-08:00Although my acute sympathy towards the plight of a...Although my acute sympathy towards the plight of animals is a trait I don't mind having, J.G., it can be a real nuisance at times. It limits my life in several ways. I can't even pass a fishmonger's stall without having to look away - and a butcher's cannot be even thought about. If I could afford to travel the world I wouldn't, for fear of coming face to face with animals in situations I wouldn't like to be in myself. It's all a matter of treating others no worse than one would like to be treated oneself. Of course most people only apply that principle to humans whereas I, unlike most religions, extend it to ALL sentient beings. <br /><br />I didn't see the more recent King Kong re-make for the aforementioned reason but you've reminded me that I did, in fact, see the 1976 version when it was released, which I saw just the once and only remember as having been plain boring.
