Just that (incredibly) two of my all time favorite films have had a sequel worthy of them made.
I put off watching both Blade Runner 2049 and T2 Trainspotting for years because I was frightened that they would shit all over the originals.
I was wrong.
Mind you both did not make much money - today's audience seems to consist of people who want to see huge tits, pecs and explosions mixed with lame wisecracks 24/7 for about 80 mins.
Joker was a very honourable exception.

Random thoughts...
How come robins are so tame?
They will actually eat out of your hand once they get used to you....that's if they are the same ones, tbh, they all look the same.

I don't think it was Robins that attacked Tippi.

She was lucky it was not Pelagornis or Argentavis, let alone Brontornis or Kelenken.

Look them up Syl, awesome animals, loads of palaeo news this week which I will post on my thread when I can be arsed - perhaps in a decade or two someone will read them!

People do read your threads. I am sure some people find them very informative.

I just had a look over on dogs and read a post from xtras which didn't seem to be from the xtras I knew of old. So I read a few more threads and xtras certainly seems to have changed the posting style. A few old posters have popped up on dogs since it lost a lot of posters due to the new modding style started over there. It made me wonder, is that really xtras posting or a dormant account reactivated by dogs admin. LordRaven came back last year after not posting for a few years. Again the posting style was different like it was someone else using the account. The Micky account comes back when ever the forum gets really slow or admin takes to much flak. He makes a few posts and drums up a lot of attacks from other posters and shifts the from complaining about admin. Then disappears until the next time he's needed.
Drum shows up out of the blue and becomes an instant admin. There are others as well. HF seldom posts and only to stamp her boot on those she doesn't like with threats of bans. It's like she's been told to step back but can't help herself. Measurer has disappeared but you know she will be back (or someone using the account)

You mean Dogs is the forum equivalent of the Three Faces of Eve?

Or maybe it's like the Land of Oz, and Xtras got given a brain.

Yes it got quite fractious back then.
Times are so much calmer now. ...thank goodness.

Now you're living in fantasy land. Is kind of funny though how old posters suddenly turn up at certain points. Kat was posting the other day, and her posts were coherent. Then whoever suddenly must have realised and started to post like the old Kat used too
Yeah I was exaggerating for effect.
But the way things are going who knows?
That famously funny episode of The IT Crowd being recently banned for example.

Might be funny if it were not so accurate...
