Newsletter and jokes 27 October 2023


 
Hi all 
 
In the past, the distributors would use this time of the year, with a large 
part of the cinema market focused on exams, to screen a curious combination  
of Oscar-bait art movies, juxtaposed with fare that should have gone  
straight to video. 
 
Times have changed :-) 
This week we have a mixed bag, and no Oscar winners in sight. First up is 
the next in the Trolls franchise, Trolls Band Together, also in 3D. 
 
South Africa rolls out our take on the classic Bollywood singing-dancing 
movie, with local music love story Never Give Up. 
 
From Hollywood, two movies for the adults, first up a horror from the  
"Freddy's" game and movie franchise, Five Nights at Freddy's, while  
ex-wrestler John Cena headlines the action thriller Freelance. 
 
Bollywood has two offerings, including their female version of Top Gun,  
and a story of perseverance in 12th Fail. 
 
The BANFF Mountain Film Festival is running at assorted venues. 
 
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 is screening at assorted venues. 
 
Enjoy. :-)

A woman visits her husband in prison... 
 
Before leaving, she tells a correction officer:  
“You shouldn’t make my husband work like that. He’s exhausted!” 
 
The officer laughs and says,  
“Are you kidding? He just eats and sleeps and stays in his cell all day!” 
 
The wife replies:  
“Bullshit! He just told me he’s been digging a tunnel for months!”

It's natural selection.

An elderly man rear-ended a guy driving an expensive sports car. 
 
Enraged, the guy hops out and confronts the old man. 
 
"Look what you did to my car" he yells. "You're going to give me $10,000  
right now or I'm going to beat you to a pulp!" 
 
"Oh my" says the old man, "I don't have that kind of money. 
 
Let me call my son, he trains dolphins and he will know what to do." 
 
"Dolphins" the other driver huffs, while rolling his eyes. 
 
The old man pulls out his phone, dials his son and just as his son answered,  
the irate man snatches the phone away from the old man. 
 
"So, YOU'RE a dolphin trainer, huh? Well, Your old man here just rear-ended  
my car and I need 10 grand right now or I'm going to beat you AND your old  
man to a pulp." 
 
"I'll be there in 10 minutes," says the voice calmly on the other end. 
 
Exactly 10 minutes later a Jeep pulls up and a guy hops out and proceeds to  
pulverize the bully, leaving him in a heap on the side of the road. 
 
When he finished, he walked over to his father and said... 
 
"For the last time dad, I train Seals, Navy Seals..... 
 
NOT dolphins!"

The CEO of a company was in need of a secretary 
 
He spread ads all over town. A few days later, there was a knock on his door.  
 
It was a dog. He had a newspaper in his mouth. He opened it to the  
classifieds page and pointed to the ad that the CEO had placed. The CEO was  
impressed. But he thought it was a joke, so he decided to test the dog: 
 
"Look, I need a secretary who understands the basics of computers" 
 
The dog went to one of the secretary's desks, climbed on the chair, turned  
on the computer and the printer in total tranquility. 
 
The CEO was amazed, but decided to go further: 
 
"That's good, but I need a secretary who understands spreadsheets" 
 
The dog quickly opened Excel, scanned rows and columns of data and then used  
pivot tables to create dashboards of charts.  
 
The astonished CEO desperately followed: 
 
"Well, that's really fantastic, but my secretary must be bilingual!" 
 
The dog replied:" Meow"
