Hi all RIP Gene Wilder. This week features mostly smaller releases, with one wide Hollywood comedy. We've got two Afrikaans films (one dubbed, for the kids, and one a gritty gangster drama). Then we have some more selective releases (meaning the target market is smaller) including some which are also releasing States-side today. Suicide Squad managed to hold onto the top position last weekend, fending off both big newcomers. Not on the list below, but there are also isolated screenings for another SA documentary-drama, Picking Up the Pieces: Khuli Chana Story, that I couldn't find enough on to build a page. Lastly, the annual Cannes Lions Edit 2016 (best ads in the world) has started circulating, only one print, currently at The Zone in Sandton. Will presumably move around the country in due course.

Do you suffer from shyness? Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. It can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything. You will notice the benefits of Cabernet Sauvignon almost immediately and, with a regimen of regular doses, you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live. Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living. Cabernet Sauvignon may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use it. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing, or becoming pregnant, are encouraged to try it. Side effects may include: Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister. Warnings: The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may make you think you are whispering when you are not. The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them. The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to think you can sing. The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people. Please feel free to share this important information with as many people as you feel may benefit! Now just imagine what you could achieve with a good Shiraz or Merlot...Live the dream!

My First Time The sky was dark The moon was high All alone just she and I. Her hair was soft Her eyes were blue I knew just what she wanted to do. Her skin so soft Her legs so fine I ran my fingers down her spine. I didn't know how But I tried my best I started by placing my hands on her breast. I remember my fear my fast beating heart But slowly she spread her legs apart And when I did it I felt no shame. All at once the white stuff came At last it's finished it's all over now My first time ever at milking a cow..... Note: yes I know: blue eyes???? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Lucas and Rita Cohen met while both were undergraduates at the University of Chicago, and they got married in 1959. They had two sons together, but eventually things didn't work out. They separated in 1982, and divorced a few years later, citing "irreconcilable differences." But Rita evidently had faith in Robert's talent, because she instructed her lawyer, to add a clause to the divorce settlement, specifying that if Robert won the Nobel Prize by October 31, 1995, she would receive half of the prize money. Robert was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics on October 10, 1995 -- justĀ 21 days before the clause would have expired, and received $1 million prize money. Asked about having to pay half the prize to his ex-wife, he noted philosophically that, "A deal is a deal." But added, "Maybe if I'd known I'd win, I would have resisted the clause, and saved myself $500,000." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Health experts say red meat is the worst for your health. Surely not as bad as furry green meat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the pastor of the Granville Presbyterian church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the next week. The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw a little old lady put the distinctive pink envelope in the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her. "Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate," he stated. "Why yes," she replied, "every week my son sends me money, and I give some of it to the church." The pastor asked, "That's wonderful, how much does he send you?" The old lady replied, "$10,000 a week." The pastor was amazed. "Your son is very successful! What does he do for a living?" "He is a veterinarian," she answered. "That is an honorable profession," the pastor said. "Where does he practice?" The little old lady said proudly, "In Nevada. He has two cat houses in Las Vegas and one in Reno ." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
