Hi all This week's Oscar hopeful is The Disaster Artist, which has picked up some bad publicity after allegations against Franco. The commercial line-up will appeal to a different audience, take your pick from ra-ra Go USA Go war action to wacky comedy, to the hot and steamy climax of the Fifty Shades trilogy. For the kiddies we have Tad the Lost Explorer bumbling his way to new discoveries, while the art circuit has a doccie on the recent mass migrations causing issues around the world. Lastly India has two releases on the lighter side of the spectrum. On the previews side, there are multiple previews only at Sam Levy for Black Panther next Thursday night... Businesswise, Jumanji is now 3rd on the all-time Top Ten list, and will have overtaken Avatar by the end of the weekend, if not already.

A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausage?" The clerk asks, "Are you Irish?" The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something. "If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?" The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't." The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for Irish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Irish?" The clerk replied, "Because this is a hardware store." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wanted to sue the airline because they damaged my luggage. I showed the badly damaged remains to my lawyer. He said, "You don't have much of a case." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you can start the day without caffeine, If you can always be cheerful, Ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining And boring people with your troubles, If you can eat plain food every day And be grateful for it, If you can understand when your loved ones Are too busy to give you any time, If you can take criticism and blame Without resentment, If you can conquer tension Without medical help, If you can relax without liquor, If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, ... Then You Are Probably ......... The Family Dog! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Women are angels, but, when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly on a broomstick. We're flexible like that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any man who thinks marriage is a 50/50 proposition, doesn't understand women or arithmetic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A blonde goes to the doctor complaining about not feeling well. On examination, the doctor noticed she had a carrot in her ear, a piece of potato in the other ear and a bean in one nostril and peas in the other. The quack told her that she wasn't eating properly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three blondes are at the carnival trying all the attractions in mug's alley. As to be expected, they all win a small prize. The first won a sample packet of spaghetti, the second a small cheese and the other scored a new toilet brush. A few days later, the three friends caught up for a coffee and chat. "I just loved that spaghetti, that was a great win" said one. "And I just love cheese" said the second "That was the perfect prize and so tasty" "I'm disappointed by the toilet brush" said the other girl "I'm going back to using paper." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Government in Egypt has asked the city's taxi drivers to drive around Cairo sounding their car horns. It is hoped that the familiar sounds of the city will induce a return to tranquillity and normality. Operation Toot 'n Calm 'Em, will last for the rest of the week.
