What's amazing is that with the context, the joke becomes a silly but fun delayed reaction laugh. It would fit Eddie Izzard or even Bill Bailey wonderfully. Not sure how I stumbled across this video, but always happy to see a good breakdown. Take a thumbs up and take care

We miss you Mr S!

Lovely to see what success you've had with Death of a Dream Peddler! Huge congratulations on the prize and getting your book out there. Thank you for the shout out - I hope I was more tactful with my edits than you suggest here 😂! I will be purchasing a copy asap, it was a great, original story and I'd love to see where you've taken it.

Sounds interesting. And congratulations on your book.

Ooooh sounds like a great book!!

Great review! Really enjoyed this video!!

I actually really like this movie. It's considerably good. I don't know if this was intended to be a made-for-TV movie, or ever had a proper theatrical release in cinemas? I fully realize this adaptation varies from the original book by Daniel DeFoe, but that's ok with me. This film pairs up very nicely with the 1990 adaptation of "Treasure Island" starring Charlton Heston.

💖🌟💓 Jubilate Kitt!

💖 Always so insightful. Thank u for memorializing Our 📚 past.

😭😭😭😢

You sir have no sense of humour!

Glad to be the first commwnt

Isn't that supposed to be animal cruelty?

Congratulations on your new digs! 😊

Good luck with your book.

Great video, you are very good at explaining the concept. One thing, when you showed the number 25 you actually drew 23. I realise this video is 5 years old and you most likely are in worried by this.

A tip for moving books that I learnt last time I moved with my huge library, books are best packed into boxes used for half dozen wine bottles. The boxes are strong and because they are small you can't over fill them and make them too heavy to carry. Best of luck with your move.

Thank you for the Reynard the Fox review. I've been looking around, especially for a comparison between the two most recent publications on him. I think this convinced me to go with Anne Louise Avery's version.

This is a neat idea. Might jerry rig this into my fantasy. Druids dont have pen and paper? Take a knife and carve into a tree or something.

I first discovered this little gem by accident, years ago when I was simply surfing the net. It has never stopped intriguing and delighting me, with me telling everyone I can about this wonderful film, one that I thought should have received far more attention. You can't imagine my surprise when I found out last year that this wasn't a mere Hollywood fairy tale, but a true story based upon actual events, only adding to my utter fascination with this unique story. As far as your altogether negative review of the movie, I cannot share your low opinion of the film, particularly with the terrific performances of its all-star cast. Although it wasn't the Tom Cruise action thriller that you apparently expected it to be, the mere fact that they could HANG you for perjury in those times provided more than enough drama to heighten the suspense. Cates was a terrific Caraboo, in spite of her obviously more Irish-sounding lilt at the end, which is of minor consequence in any case. On an interesting note, when I was still living in NYC, I was on the Upper East Side having lunch when I happened upon a little gift shop and walked in. At the cash register I noticed a woman that so resembled "Princess Caraboo" that I had to ask her, "Has anyone told you that you look just like Phoebe Cates??" She answered, "I get that a lot." Later I was to learn that she was indeed the owner of this cute little boutique shop called "Blue Tree," and it's still there. I heard that it was her lifelong dream.

A good selection of books here! I read Austen's History of England last year, but I didn't get much out of it. Perhaps being American makes me ignorant to the humor and stabs she makes at Royalty. I read Shel Silverstein to my kids when they were young. Is that considered abuse?-Ha-ha! I finished Anna K last year and went straight into War and Peace afterwards because I love Tolstoy's writing. I'm about half-way through W&P and enjoying it immensely! Phantom and Dubliners are both on my tbr. I skipped ahead and read Joyce's The Dead, which inspired my desire to read the rest of the series. I couldn't get into "Portrait" years ago and yet feel compelled to try again. Phantom gets interesting feedback, I heard it was "comical", but your review makes me think otherwise. What about his other work The Mystery of the Yellow Room? It's also on my tbr. Happy New Year!😁

Disney wanted to make Old Possum's book of cats into a film, but Elliot or his estate refused permission.

That's called cruel

3:30 oo ee oo Aa Aa! :D 3:50 😭😭😭😭😭😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Oh! I thought this was some sort of runes or ogham going on here!

So amazing to see someone so genuinely passionate about Smart! Love the enthusiasm. People as self content as you seem are rare, sending you all the blessings I can!

You don’t have to sit in front of a bookcase, we know you are smart. I prefer a plain background, it is easier to listen, had to turn screen off.

That’s one way of telling the time😎

Can’t use your cats and your recorder to play the cat piano? Kill cats ins-

The first doctor in the colony of New South Wales was a Highway man. He was given an offer that he couldn't refuse. His son was the first child born in the colony William Wentworth.

I think the film made Georgina and her husband an equivalent to Princesses Diana and Prince Charles.

Keep up the good work ❤🌬💗🧿

Thank you - that was interesting (not sure I'll bother with the film).

Just finished reading Evelina (5min ago😅) and I must say I really enjoyed it. I never thought I‘d like it as much as I did. And you‘re absolutely spot on, Evelina deserves an adaptation.

Spot the accidental Shaggs reference.

😭😭😭😭💔

I love music. Slavery sucks.

I love needles.

Don't worry they have 9 lives

I love how occasionally Mrs Claus troll occasionally peers over your shoulder.

The cats🥲😢🥺

Great review. As a complete biased Gilliam fan nice you acknowledged problems Gilliam faced while making a cohesive movie, with terrible producer and over spending Italian crews (allegedly). I have only seen Nazi Munchausen and was totally unaware of French version of it. As for the background on Raspe fascinating and new to me. Gilliam was on a roll with time bandits/Brazil/AOBM and I think they should be seen as a whole rather than separate movies-gilliam often referred to them as his Dreamer trilogy. It's a shame he had to lose the horse been chopped in half. But more than made up for with classic Reed -Thurman scenes (who apparently hated each other)

Hugo's characters are a bit too tropie. His characters don't hold a candle to Dickens' characters. The big blocks of non story and political railing get boring.

Thank you - sounds like I can give Les Mis a miss. Happy 2023.

Stop slandering the Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap!

I like Muppet Treasure Island

Good review. Well done!

Between Tim Currey and Michael Caine. I never thought muppet movies would have some of my favorite performances on film. Two brilliant actors who really gave it their 100%, and it’s some of their best work. IMO

Considering the options available to a working-class stiff in those days, I would have done everything to secure a job as a hermit to get out of a life of grueling manual labor for 18 hours a day, barely scraping by. 50,000 pounds was a fortune. I would do the job, read a lot of books during it to give myself a sold education, take the money and then go into business.

Mgr Della Casa's book is not much esteemed nowadays in the Anglosphere. We might say of Trump as well as of Berlusconi, "Non conosce Il Galateo."
