Reply to TIL that Fahrenheit 451, a book about a distopian future where books are banned and burned, was banned and burned by the apartheid regime in South Africa with other tens of thousands. by open_closet
Is this one of the books the Republicans banned and burned in some of the southern US states?

I watched the Willem Dafoe movie on Disney Plus, I struggled to get through the movie without getting very emotional. I’ve got 2 Huskies so the scenes hit close to home, incredible story

Reply to comment by nowhereman136 in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto
If you like martial arts stuff, look up a movie called Unleashed which has Hoskins, Morgan Freeman and Jet Li.
