http://joox.net/cat/2/id/1136823 Is that Grand Moff Tarkin playing Smith? Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges. Moderation in all things. |

Wait, are there TWO old versions of this movie? Because this isn't the one I'm familiar with. Thanks Gray. Cordially, Rush elrushbo2@theobviousgmail.com Remove the obvious... |

No idea, I've heard of the movie but just recently found this one. Any data would be appreciated. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

MrGray linked to the BBC Sunday Night Theatre version, released in 1954. There is also another UK TV version from 1965 with the title spelled out, Nineteen Eighty Four. And a 1984 release with the title spelled Nineteen Eighty-Four. That's all IMDB has listed. Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

Thanks bud, I've neither read the book nor watched any of the films that I can recall. Orwell always seemed really paranoid to me, and not just with 1984. Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

Orwell always seemed really paranoid to me Oh, you knew Eric Arthur Blair personally? He died in 1950 making you either a very extraordinary adolescent of days past or a very old man of days present... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Orwell always seemed really paranoid to me Jeff, I am pretty sure that Labbie was referring to Orwell's writing. Not his personality. Air Cold, the blade stops; from silent stone, Death is preordained Calm Chaos Forums : Everyone Welcome |

Orwell always seemed really paranoid to me Well, maybe Orwell had good reason to be paranoid, and not just in his writing. Odd clothes and unorthodox views - why MI5 spied on Orwell for a decade Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

Well, maybe Orwell had good reason to be paranoid Yes, people don't like people who think differently than themselves... And even worse, people in power like to silence those who think differently than themselves... Personally, I have been harassed, poisoned, spied on, and have had more than a few nails in my tires... I know bad people and what they are capable of like I know the back of my hand... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

No idea, MrGray, I thought you might find this interesting. 9/20/07 DVD released of original classic film starring Richard Burton & John Hurt. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe there was a version earlier than this one, & I'm pretty sure that I have copies of both in my collection. However, at the moment, all my videos are packed away as I'm redecorating the house. Also, I have about 80% of my collection logged on a spreadsheet, but have not had time to finish it. If/when I come across the info, I'll let you know. Regards PJ |

Accusing me of censorship is like calling the Pope a Muslim extremist! Since you know we/me/are atheists you shouldn't complain. The posts you make that demand that 'Jews' suffer and 50% of Americans do the same should be enough. Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data!
