I think it would have been a better film if they'd used younger actors, and then aged them using conventional make-up techniques. To my mind the film would still have worked, the story and the meaning would have remained intact, ... |

Seems to be a lot of FaceApp old face doing the rounds on the interwebs today.
Given none of you have met me before, I quite like the idea of this aged, sad and possibly Yewtreeable version of me via FaceApp being the face you associate with my posts. |

Every time I think about setting up an Amiga again, it's mainly because I get the urge to play Captive. I know there's an old PC version of it somewhere, but I couldn't get that to behave properly.
I do wonder how other favourites of mine like Hunter and Moonstone have aged though. |
