It's Brendan Fraser's birthday today. He's brilliant in the 1998 film Gods and Monsters with Ian McKellen.

Planning to watch the BFI and Film Foundation restoration of I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING! (Powell and Pressburger, 1945) today? It's on BBC Two (and iPlayer) at 16.10. Given my borderline obsession with the film, here’s a thread with some IKWIG-related info and links.
