Heard your interview with Michael Rosen Matthew. Clearly you were very moved at the end. It was a privilege to hear the genuine emotion in your voice. Thank you.

Exploited by people smugglers on their way out, and robbed by our government on the way in. ‘So it’s come to this. Wasn’t it a long way down.’

What a contribution to the development of human understanding he made. Humbling to think how little impact I have made.

Wonderfully touching. He has been truly fortunate to have been married to one he loved so much.

The fact that it is not unprecedented makes it no less egregious.

Those of us in the northlands must always be alive to innovative trends emanating from the hip hop and happening parts of London. We could easily miss out if we did not enquire when confronted with such potential novelties.

Here's the example: Can you name me English racecources whose names do not contain the letters R A C or E?

ChatGPT

English racecourses whose names do not contain the letters R, A, C, or E are quite limited due to the commonality of those letters. Here are some options:

The discussion regarding the power of AI is tending towards hyperbole. To test the rather limited ability of Chat GPT, ask it to name all English racecourses whose names do not contain the letters R A C or E. A totally mechanical, simple task for a human. Apparently extremely difficult for AI.

Spartacus [DVD] [1960]
Product Description DVD Special Features: Trailer Production notes Cast & filmmakers' biographies 2.35:1 widescreen Languages -- English (Dolby Digital 5.1) and French, German, Italian, Spanish (Dolby Stereo) Subtitles -- English, French, German, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Danish, Bulgarian Amazon.co.uk Review Stanley Kubrick was only 31 years old when Kirk Douglas (star of Kubrick's classic Paths of Glory) recruited the young director to pilot this epic saga, in which the rebellious slave Spartacus (played by Douglas) leads a freedom revolt against the ailing Roman Republic and its generals. Kubrick would later disown the film because it was not a personal project--he was merely a director-for-hire--but Spartacus remains one of the best of Hollywood's grand historical epics. With an intelligent screenplay by then-blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo (from a novel by Howard Fast), its liberal message of freedom and civil rights, highly relevant in early-1960s USA, is still quite powerful and the all-star cast (including Charles Laughton in full toga) is full of entertaining surprises.Restored in 1991 to include scenes deleted from the original 1960 release, the full-length Spartacus is a grand-scale cinematic marvel, offering some of the most awesome battles ever filmed and a central performance by Douglas that's as sensitively emotional as it is intensely heroic. Jean Simmons plays the slave woman who becomes Spartacus's wife, and Peter Ustinov steals the show with his frequently hilarious, Oscar-winning performance as a slave trader who shamelessly curries favour with his Roman superiors. The restored version also includes a formerly deleted bathhouse scene in which Laurence Olivier's patrician Crassus (with restored dialogue dubbed by Anthony Hopkins) gets hot and bothered over a slave servant played by Tony Curtis. These and other restored scenes expand the film to just over three hours in length. Despite some forgivable lulls, this is a rousing and substantial drama that grabs and holds your attention. Breaking tradition with sophisticated themes and a downbeat (yet eminently noble) conclusion, Spartacus is a thinking person's epic, rising above mere spectacle with a story as impressive as its widescreen action and Oscar-winning sets. --Jeff Shannon
