🎥 Watched 🔗 Death on the Nile ( ★★★ ) over the weekend. Hadn’t I watched it before? Yes of course - but not this one. Another one. I know you know the story - it’s nearly 100 years old so of course you do - just interesting to see the ensemble cast in a murder mystery based on a book written by the inventor of the ensemble cast in a murder mystery - all the way down to the end scene where what ever is left of the cast are stood in a room with the worlds greatest detective reveals the dastardly culprit.
You’ve seen the scene so many times - mainly in films and shows that are NOT Ms. Christie stories.
The TORYGraph today, writing about Andy’s first day in the hot seat …
He will want to appoint his Cabinet, but must also be ready to break off if Donald Trump rings.
“be ready to break off if … ?
I know nothing - but if I was Andy I would not be distracted if an Orange Clown called me about anything. In particular this one.
🎥 I watched 🔗 Rumble in the Bronx years ago and just watched it again last night - ★★★ - not for the acting - can I give negative stars❓ But absolutely for Jackie Chan’s fight choreography - amazing.
👁️ I am no historian … and definitely not in the ⚽️ category .. but other than Hungary beating El Savalador 10-1 in the 80s you have to go back to the 50s for a World Cup score with a total of double digit goals.

🎵 🔗 Phil Collins - Face Value - Steven Wilson Remixes
.. an interesting choice for Mr. Wilson. He’s on record as ‘Genesis? No thanks’. So I guess it isn’t Phil that put him off.
