When not busy entering the Forbidden Zone, randomly talking about cricket, AFL (Richmond), soccer (Arsenal) and cinema amongst other things.
Several years ago went to Madame Tussauds in Sydney and saw a model of Glenn McGrath whose face looked almost more like Stan Laurel.

Been watching a lot of Terrence Stamp clips as Zod since his death.
One of the random thoughts that popped up while watching the one at The White House: why did they give E.G. Marshall such a terrible toupée?

This YouTube thumbnail is presumably AI; if it is, these terrible depictions of Walter Matthau and Carol Burnett are the best argument against AI art ever.

I knew that there were two spin-off movies based on the 1970s UK crime show 'The Sweeney' during its run, but didn't know until today there was a big-screen remake made in the early 2010s.

Is this the original release poster for the 1965 film 'The Third Day'?
If so, seems years ahead of its time and (despite weak rep) make me want to watch the film.
