Now, take the deck and shuffle it well...

"Put it down and then cut it".

There was a loud thud as the axe swung down and guillotined the pack neatly in the middle.

"You bloody cheated" yelled Margot, as she picked up her handbag, her winnings and her drink.
She trounced out of the room in high dudgeon.

You're a thief! I'm a thief too. I have the highest respect for a good thief. - paraphrasing from the latest episode of Doctor Who the other night.

"What is it about it, anyway? Stealing.’ ‘It’s …’ It’s an instinct, I want to say. ... It’s art. But she would not understand, so I merely repeat the old joke. ‘It’s about respecting other people’s property. I make it my property so that I can properly respect it."

Such a good scene. I need to rewatch that soon.

[Cut to a bishop. A sign on the wall says "Naughty Religion"]
Bishop: Our religion is the first Church to cater for the naughty type of person. If you'd like a bit of "love-your-neighbour"--and who doesn't now and again--then see Vera and Ciceley during the hymns."

[cut to wide-boy Pope, with small moustache and kipper tie. A sign says: "No Questions Asked Religion".]
Pope: In our Church we try to help people to help themselves--to cars, washing machines, lead piping, no questions asked. We are the only Church, apart from the Baptists, to do respray jobs."

So much for Monty Python.

Always so hard to decide on a favourite. Blade Runner is up there. So is Leon. And, of recent films, Hidden Figures is pretty good. But then there's Once Upon a Time in the West. Oh, decisions, decisions.

Recent favorite - Arrival. It was everything I used to read the Nebula Awards for.

Lone Star is one of my favourite films - everything is written on the walls, but few viewers actually notice it. And the story itself...and the acting...all top rate. The final scene is priceless.
