I enjoyed the Disney film
assuming you mean John Carter or whatever they called it. It had a well told flashback b-story as I recall, and Mark Strong as the leader of the Therns..?
They did a very good job hiding that film from popular attention. Not sure why.

I just googled and apprently Disney changed the title from Princess of Mars to John Carter of Mars to John Carter
supposedly because Princesses suggested girly Disney cartoons, and 'of Mars' was too close to 'Mars Needs Moms' which was another Disney flop.
This all sounds just stupid enough to be true.

You got further than my hubby did

Yeah I research N gauge - it's quite deceptive in terms of size, isn't it?
Ends up taking up a lot of space. This is narrow gauge, so the trains can whip around tight corners (but it can't be anything more than 4 wheels).
It wasn't *too* expensive - I think N gauge would have cost more. The track isn't that much, the mdf/insulation foam I used wasn't loads - the trees etc. probably cost the most. I had the 3d printer already which cut obvious corners and the donor train chassis were 2nd hand on Ebay.

90 year old scotsman had questionable attitudes towards women
I assume most people have flaws, but I find the ones who have the biggest are the most sanctimonious and most blind to their own. He had a 40 year relationship with a Moroccan artist who still speaks quite lovingly of him, which is pretty good going to sustain that. Maybe he evolved his attitude after his first marriage, people do. Or maybe he found a woman who didn't nag him.

you can have whatever opinion you like, benito
for what's it's worth my comment wasn't directed at you personally, but the millions of judgey people on the internet who seem to take delight in pronouncing "this famous person is bad". Yet I constantly meet mean, flawed people. people who push in front you at the supermarket. I just think that such condemnation is more about the feeling of superiority it gives people, and less about caring or changing things. I've developed training for nurses and paramedics on family violence (re: domestic violence, quite a few of the charities and refuges are stuck with the old name). I do it because I'm paid to do it, though you do learn a lot when you put these things together. I just don't think internet sanctimony helps anything, and it's the laziest option if they actually want to.
