When I think of what F could have been for...<br /><br />On the subject of remakes, anyone else think that Peter Jackson is being a bit brave doing a Dam Busters remake? He's either going to have to change the name of the dog and upset those who expect as much historical accuracy as possible, or leave it so as to reflect attitudes of the time and get it in the neck from the race relations crowd instead.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-60413559892371374392009-08-12T20:45:01.618+01:002009-08-12T20:45:01.618+01:00I love the "American Idea" scene.

And a good thing too. <br /><br />The remake would feature British squaddies killed by US air bombing during Gulf One, and many, many slaves imported into America and the West Indies by the British: and no mention of the Royal Navy and the Union Army freeing their descendants and later counterparts. <br /><br />The verdict under such circumstances would be a foregone conclusion.North Northwesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990919627286136085noreply@blogger.com
