Tonight's movie was BENEATH THE 12 MILE REEF (1953) in which a young Robert Wagner, plays a Greek sponge fisherman (no, really) and tangles with Peter Graves and a giant octopus. The 3rd film ever shot in Cinemascope, it was Oscar nominated for best Cinematography

In HOME ALONE (1990) Catherine O'Hara's Kate calls the local police when she gets to Paris Orly Airport after realising they left Kevin home. She instructs her other family to 'call everyone they can think of' except no one, including her, actually tries calling Kevin at the house to see if he's OK.

The brilliant thing about the Drogna game is that the contestants are so fascinated by the floor they nearly always miss the whacking great clue with an arrow above it on the wall. In this case Dorgan (Sarah Lam) has had to appear twice to draw attention to it.

Listened to this on the way into work this morning and my goodness that Afghan Whigs cover of New Order's Regret IS depressing - though I did laugh when Ben drew the same conclusion.

Maybe we should stop talking about Root's Australian century and just allow him to focus on the games in hand?
"It remains something of a puzzle why Root – calm, adept, motivated and with a goodly array of strokes to accompany a sturdy defence – hasn't reeled off a few hundreds already in the 14 Tests he has played in Australia."

I’ve only just stumbled across the fantastic fact that Margaret Thatcher’s 1970s voice coach, who taught her to lower her voice and speak more resonantly, was none other than Catherine Fleming, who voiced the evil Animus in bonkers 1965 Doctor Who serial The Web Planet. The Zarbi’s not for turning!
