The original trilogy was a fun romp. Appealed to adults and kids, great characters and special effects. What came later was dung, mostly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Most people are very likely to accept almost anything you pass them when whilst engaged in conversation with you. It's due to some psychological thing. I tried this with my other half earlier and she only looked at what I handed her when there was a pause in conversation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
