The CIA got you pushing too many pencils?
There’s a cinema in Austria doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie week. A few of us were thinking of going to it. I’d go just to see Predator.

It’s a computer game of a movie. Silly and loads of killing. The bad guy character is absolutely ridiculous. Reasonably entertaining but a dumb movie.

I think that was the idea or are weird moustaches the norm now

I loved the bad guy in it. An unabashed and unashamed UUCOAM

It has to be watched in the native Comanche to get the most out of it.
Camanche is very similar to Sioux… I’ll understand most of it no bother.

While it may indeed be historically bullshit, Braveheart is a great aul Hollywood movie. A proper Tour de France by Gibson. Never fails to entertain.

Braveheart showed that Gibson had promise.
Apocalypto showed that he is a brilliant filmmaker. An utterly superb film.

It’s a great movie but the historical inaccuracy of Apocalypto is actually farcical.
Mel is making a film about the Rothschild’s apparently.He’ll be one for the celebrity deaths next year

My missus worked with a Rothschild years ago. Of the same lineage as the original family.
Rob Kearney was sniffing around her apparently.

Can’t have it all bro. Historical accuracy may have taken from the sheer entertainment.

I can’t remember if i told this story on here before or not.
A good friend of my pet got married a few years back, at the wedding I got talking to one of her aunts. This woman was well into her 70s but was an absolute lady with many great stories to tell.
She moved to the US from Mayo in her 20s to work as a nurse and spent 40 odd years caring for a member of the Rothschild family who was a bachelor, infirmed and confined to a wheelchair. From her stories he seems like a very nice man and they had a lovely relationship, he was fairly studious reading multiple books a week and constantly buying antiques and artifacts and had a huge thirst for knowledge.
When he passed away he left her his house, which by the sounds of it is a fairly palatial old colonial style house in up state New York.
I asked her how does she afford the upkeep on such a dwelling given its size, age and property tax and the fact she is retired and on a fixed income to which she regales me with some great yarns. Whenever the property tax is due or she needs to get some renovations done she tips up to the attic or down to the basement and takes one of his artifacts and gets it appraised and then sells it online. A few weeks prior to the wedding she had flown to Texas to offload an antique Smith and Weston revolver to a collector for I would assume a sizable enough wedge.
I asked her were the family ok with her selling these off and she told me when she was given the house in his will she contacted all his nieces and nephews and told them to come by and take anything they felt was of either significant or sentimental value and most didn’t bother to reply and the few that did more a less told her they would have no use for his trinkets and she was to do as she pleased with them.

Mate, that never happened. She was bullshitting you.
Nah man. My wife met the man and had been to the house back in the 2000s when she was over there on a J1 with the ladies niece.
She said he looked a bit similar to the butler from Scary Movie 2
