my wife went to school for nutrition, i've watched tons of food documentaries, but not that one........yet lol.  honestly in europe your food quality standards are so much higher than anywhere else in the world i don't think you have anything to worry about.  here in america is a different story.  

Yes it is focused on the US but I assume processed meats, mercury in fish, etc. are the same everywhere.  I would love it if my wife was a nutritionist.  Food/healthy eating is the start of everything.

Most eye-opening was the power of your farmers-lobby.  They have the agression of the NRA backed by the money of big Pharma; incredibly powerful.

Dunno how accurate this site is, but I know for sure food standards in the EU are some of the most stringent on the planet

Adult film means something very specific over here. I had a moment of shock before I realized that MI was that adult film.

it is true about 2 nations divided by a single language isn'tt it?  there is British type English, and then there are the mistakes. 

just joking NYBlue you have your way and we have ours, just as long as we can understand each other it is ok.

We usually go to see Pixar / marvel films. I just thought it was hugely entertaining. Not graphic and I think one swear word. Really impressed with it

Never heard of it before but having had a quick gander on the iPlayer it seems quite interesting to me, I'd have no shame in watching it.

Well that’s good enough for me thanks Mike, she’s not gonna like it but she’s bitten off more than she can chew with this one, I can’t wait for you to tell her how it is, get prepared and don’t be scared she’s not as fierce some as she looks

Wife took grandson (nearly five) to see Christopher Robin today, he enjoyed it but wife didn't like it and said it was a bit "dark" for a Disney Pooh movie (I suspected it might be due to the PG certificate). He's staying the night and was just on the phone to his mum to say goodnight saying Grandma didn't enjoy it because it was too dark in the cinema.

More likely that it’ll be Mike’s wife that has the nightmares by the sound of things

She'd better not or I may get a right hook.

We took our two (3&7) to see it last week one fell asleep when it first started after doing his sweets in whilst the trailers were on but us three enjoyed it nice moral story to it but I can see where your wife's coming from compared to the original stuff

I'll have a look myself when it's out on DVD but I think she went in with the wrong expectation; to be fair though the trailer (which we watched beforehand) does give the impression that it's going to be all happy happy so that's a bit deceptive it seems. Fact of the matter though is that AA Milne was a very troubled man and wanted to write serious stuff after coming home from WW1 but got writer's block so ended up getting closer (though never close) to his son and Pooh was the result. Christopher Robin himself hated the association and being paraded around while he thought it was just something between him and his dad, so the whole story is very dark despite it being a work of absolute genius on a "simple" level.

I read from AA Milne at my mum's funeral because she read it to me and my brother when we were kids so it's very close to my heart; watched Goodbye Christopher Robin last year and that's certainly no kids' film but very affecting.

I sort of guessed that there's a darker nature behind it all with each character nigh on representing a form of mental health/well-being and as you've said it's very clever the way he's woven it all together

Lovely that I'm sure you'll enjoy it tbh especially with it having a deeper meaning

Never, ever really watched Winnie the Pooh as a kid, so I have no clue what any of you are on about

It was never about watching it for me when I was a kid Mark it was about listening to it being read to me, a much more memorable experience. Still have the 1934 print edition that we were read to from, the year my mum was born so in all probability she was read it by her parents; pretty priceless that.

And if you've not read any of it then you should, bloody hilarious!

I don’t know why I didn’t say watched or read in my previous post, but yeah not read any either! I’m not sure why I never as a kid tbh, my Nan and grandad bought me plenty of books.

Words of wisdom to be had there Mark, this could apply to many on here.

“My spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.”

Also this would be a good one for some threads ...
