Kind Hearts and Coronets is a fantastically enjoyable film.
I'm very annoyed at myself for watching the shit American alternate ending as it almost ruined my head-canon explanation as to what Louis (Dennis Price) did next.

'Après désarroi, le déluge' was right there!

The incident, which damaged a painted ceiling in the Denon Wing, has further weakened the leadership of the Paris museum, in crisis since the theft of the crown jewels on October 19.

I just casually dropped the bombshell that not only have I never seen the film 'It's a Wonderful Life', but that I have seen so many pastiches of it that I now never NEED to watch it.
My wife's expression:
(Also her expression when I told her that I've never had sugar in tea, ever.)

Obviously never take genuine death threats lightly; but if I was a PR wonk, the first thing I'd tell a talentless client desperate for public sympathy/column inches to do is claim they've recieved them.
All you need do is phone them up and sarcastically say "Ooh, I'll kill you!" and it's 'factual'.

Idea for a film:
JAWS, but with Sherlock Holmes solving the case.
"A three-barrel problem."
"You're going to need a bigger Persian slipper, Holmes."
"That's some bad hat, Sherlock."
(Spotting a giant Sumatran rat)
"That's a twenty footer.”
“7.62m actually. 2.72 metric tonnes of him, Lestrade.”

The bouquet's inventor, Mr Francis Fürta said his 'surprise pork' can help relationships that'd been towed in a hole.
His lover, Sava Loy was so cross at receiving it she was heard to shout "Prick!" and left to go curling in Cumberland, but not before kneeing him...leaving him with a black pudding.

I own the dvd of Supernatural, and despite watching the story 6 times, I have never managed to get all the way through this story without falling asleep.
