Was a VPN though, I’m not retarded.

Yeah, but still, any decent VPN it should be impossible for your ISP to detect your downloading a film due to the encryption and redirection of traffic. The file you downloaded must have contained a tracer to ping back your real IP to the ISP once the VPN disconnected or something. Say you were annoyed. Particularly since it is a bit of a disappointment of a film.

Back on topic...

RIP

104, what an age and life to live.

Probably the end of the Hollywood Golden Age now?

I googled her recently. Could not believe she was still alive. That’s some life. All she has lived through!

Has anyone noticed whether ANY TV station in these islands, especially the widely available terrestrial ones, has screened Gone With the Wind in the days following the death of its longest surviving star?

It's a travesty if they haven't.

HBO Max Adds Disclaimer to Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles

Just as she did for Gone with the Wind, TCM's Jacqueline Stewart contextualizes the comedy classic

...film buffs might be asking if something that is so clearly a comedic satire really needs a disclaimer. Then again, as The Waco Kid put it, “You gotta remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land, the common clay of the New West. You know, morons.”

It will be banned in the coming years....

Just heard a warning of 'cultural themes reflective of their time' or however it was worded on RTE before Roots came on,

This was after they showed the Saturday Night Movie, Gladiator....

Although, having said that, I've heard the word N****r more times in the last five minutes than I did in the 5 years before that

The Office is the latest show to fall victim to this trend...

Viewers familiar with one of the country’s most popular shows watching a Sunday marathon on Comedy Central noticed that there was an episode missing from the rotation.

The episode ‘Diversity Day’ was omitted.

The episode features the characters of the show with index cards on their heads of different races and cultures. The goal is for the others to help make them guess what’s on their forehead, and of course, stereotypes come into play.

Ironically, the event in the show is a racial diversity seminar.

Thank fûck for the bells in Blazing Saddles.... they’ll probably try canceling it anyway as the term was ‘implied’
