Do you know how expensive it is to hire an entire villages worth of midgets? Their union has gotten SAVAGE since then.
Course, they could go the oompa loopma treatment and get one person to play everyone.

Or they could LOTR them and just have the actors stand further away from the camera

The article you linked pointed out several reasons as to why the practice is inhumane but calling it "forgetting to open their wings" seems particularly callous when you remember that this animal has just been flung out of a plane 500 feet in the air and is undoubtedly terrified and in a state of shock.

On the other hand, maybe they close their wings on purpose

Someone overlooked that cartoon Beauty and the Beast came out in '91, not '95

If you want to be technical (because ohhh poo poo someone made a joke and it wasn't entirely technically true so we have to talk about if for 4 pages) it was playing in cinemas in 1991, 2002, 2010 and 2012. Disney quite often re-issue their films in wide release but they also had a habit of releasing special 3D versions, IMAX versions and even singalong versions to cinemas long after the initial run.

Individual cinemas will also quite often show older films for one-off events, and some independent cinemas mostly run a selection of curated older films.

Gen X is probably the last generation to experience Woods Porn, as the internet rendered print pornography near-obsolete. Like there's no smut rags at porno shops anymore.

The last time I went on an interstate drive we stopped at a large truckstop which had nice new family restaurants and shower facilities for the truckers and several fast food outlets and I was surprised to see a fairly well stocked porn section in the service station. I guess longhaul truckers are keeping the porn mag industry alive?

Edit: loving hell, that lovely movie starred a young James Best who is probably most famous for his role as Sheriff Rosco. P. Coltrane in the classic Dukes of Hazzard TV series. He actually returned to the franchise 53 years later and reprised his role in the 2012 SyFy TV movie Return of the Killer Shrews.

There's a crazy genius to his plan - the entire rest of the world is arguing over which of the two possible pronunciations is correct and have to live with the uncertainty that they might be wrong but MrBibs decided to completely sidestep the debate by inventing a third option and he can happily trundle along in the complete and utter certainty that he's definitely 100% wrong.

Yeah I saw one where a guy found an old pot in his backyard and had been using it as a birdbath for years and the Antiques Roadshow guy went "OH gently caress that's an actual Roman [somethingsomething] there's only one other example ever been found take it to the museum right now!"

No, Edmund II, though the account is disputed.

Wheat Loaf posted:

Edmund Ironside (who was a pre-Norman King of England) is supposed to have been stabbed by an assassin who was hiding in his toilet pit.

Yeah the pic that started off this whole discussion was of Edmund II:

Here's the full illustration:

That's Edmund and Cnut engaging in single combat on the left, Eddie and Cnut kissing and making up in the middle and Eddie getting stabbed in the shitter over on the right

CNUT WINS
FATALITY

The story about how they decided to end the war by engaging in single combat rather than losing more men in huge battles is also probably apocryphal, with the historians who invented that story also writing in some sick burns that they allegedly laid on each other during the fight:

quote:

[The fight gave rise] to one memorable phrase: when their horses were slain and they became foot-soldiers, Cnut, who was slender, thin and tall, pressed Edmund, who was big and smooth - in other words, fairly stout - with such prowess and persistency of attack, that in a pause allowed for rest, Edmund stood panting heavily and drawing deep breaths; and in the hearing of the ring, Cnut said: 'Edmund, you breathe too short.' He blushed; but kept a modest silence, and at the next attack came down upon Cnut's helmet with such a stroke that he touched the ground with knee and hand; but Edmund stepped back and neither crushed the fallen foe nor harassed the down-struck; only avenging a word by a word, he retorted: 'Not too short, if I can bring so great a king off his feet.' The Danes accordingly, when they saw that Edmund had deferred to their lord in a conflict of such mighty issue, and that when victory was ready to his hand he had delayed his triumph, compelled the two by many prayers and tears to make a treaty.
Suuuuure they did :jerkbag:

They realised last year that feeding deadly nightshade to tiny babies might not be a brilliant idea so they made the "difficult decision" to recall the pills

quote:

Last year, the US Food and Drug Administration raised the alarm about homeopathic teething products after an investigation revealed 400 reports of adverse events, including 10 deaths.

The US administration found inconsistent levels of belladonna alkaloids in the products and warned that belladonna presented a serious health hazard with unpredictable outcomes to children.

So sure if your dumb rehabilitated junkie rear end gets dipped in acid or something at some point you just get the family size keg of chill pills and you're fine? No?

A guy I knew nearly died when he suddenly developed gangrene and after the microsurgeons were done cutting stuff off and sewing what was left back together as well as they could he was left with some hellacious chronic pain but because he was a rehabilitated junkie with a documented record of substance abuse the pain docs refused to hook him up with the good stuff. They sent him along to a pain management clinic where they went "Okay, here's some lovely pain meds that won't get you through the day but as for the rest of the pain .... have you considered taking up meditation?"

So yeah, no opioids for rehabilitated junkies.

How in the hell does a person suddenly develop gangrene? I believe there may be a detail or two missing here.

Yeah I left out most of the details because I thought the Funny Pictures Thread didn't need a description of :barf: medical details. The dude went from "Huh, I don't feel well" to flatlining on an operating table in ER about an hour later thanks to :nms: Fournier Gangrene, which is necrotizing fasciitis in the genitals area which develops extremely rapidly. He lost some of his penis and his entire scrotum and had to get his testicles 'banked' in his legs until the microsurgeons could build him a new scrotum. :nms:


tl;dr: penis gangrene is unpleasant
