Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Day three of the heating being broken and having to get up in the cold to switch all the electric heaters on. Then when I come back to bed inevitably a cat has snuck in under the covers and stolen my place.

I like to imagine that there is a rivalry between two top ham-sniffers: one, a meticulous keeper of precise traditions, the other a brash bad-boy with a colossal nose.

Ouch. Difficult to say "Our previous CEO was protecting a sexual predator" more explicitly than this.

If you've never heard it, Anthony Joshua's Desert Island Discs is great. At one point Lauren asks him to introduce one of his more obscure artists to the listener, and he takes it literally: "How's it going, listener? I hope you're well..."
