    It disappeared because the link you used expired, the source was from a CDN a content delivery network with the prefix fb I'm guessing facebook, this is just the source protecting their content and rights to the delivered content.

    The URI in the image below is the original URI that you posted when it's run now the result is URL signature expired.

    Yes I guessed it was the link timing as you detail, cheers
    Who controls the timing the author of the original picture I copied or FB?

    Dunkirk movie (2017)
    Just watched it. Outstanding.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkirk_(2017_film)
    From the above Wiki link: It is the highest-grossing World War II film, earning $527 million worldwide.

    My grandather was there as a young man so it was poignant for me.
    He became bald so the other young soldiers' nickname for him was "Curley":lol:

    Watched this one again recently... no superheroes !

    If you like Good Will Hunting you'll probably like this... seems Matt Damon has a thing about Janitors.

    Documentary "Frida Kahlo".

    A review summary:
    "She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and, at times, tragic life. This highly engaging film takes us on a journey through the life of one of the most prevalent female icons: Frida Kahlo. Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, men, women, politics and her cultural heritage."

    Thanks, interesting story, never heard of her before but I really liked her Dali like surreal paintings.

    Warning: A little bit on the heavy side and half of it is in Spanish, was half expecting Melvyn Bragg to pop out of the woodwork somewhere!

    Watched this last night - didn't realise it was so long - excellent film and insight into America, Academia and the red-baiting going on there...

    They call it red-tagging here... often they get shot... in America seems they just got kicked out of the club... democracy in the USA :D
