Now that Hef’s gone I normally wouldn’t judge age-gap relationships (even if the genders were reversed), but if the parties are out to find true love, then statistically, they are making it harder for themselves.
Hong Kong cinema veterans Dean Shek, Karl Maka and Tsui Hark make a cameo in The Bodyguard (2016).
To Catch a Thief (1955), dir. Alfred Hitchcock.
Archie and Grace One of the great Hitchcock flicks, in my opinion.
Doctor in the house I’m liking everything I’m hearing and seeing about this 37th season. Whittaker: brilliant in her interviews. Lovely to get another northern Doctor Who. Chibnall: seems to really love it and embrace it. The writing crew: thank goodness, the first time there are people of colour writing Doctor Who. Only took them 55 years. Directors: half female, half male. Editors: mostly female. Companions: diverse, not for diversity’s sake, but because they were the best actors for the job. I really wish them all the best and can’t wait to see the episodes later this year.
Congratulations, Star Wars, you have a lot of toxic men in your fanbase.
Toxic arseholes ruining things for everyone since God knows when.
Some Star Wars fans are dicks You just don’t see this with the other movie series from 1977, the one I followed, namely, Smokey and the Bandit. Agreed with the sentiments above.
Losing control So many expressions. From ‘Alles aus Liebe’.
Four in 13 Finally, we get the official shot (although the BBC already shared it on Twitter): Mandip Gill as Yasmin, Bradley Walsh as Graham, Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor, and Tosin Cole as Ryan.
Robert Redford and Jane Fonda photographed for “Barefoot in the Park”, 1967
Barefoot in the Park The only thing I remember from this was Neil Simon’s credit and the opening title.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) by director Taika Waititi
Hec, ace of bushmen Taika Waititi’s commentaries on race always get my thumbs-up.
Feel the Bern Here’s a scene from The Persuaders with Joss ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ Ackland scratching Tony Curtis’s back. I can’t be the only one thinking of the hashtag #feelthebern here, can I?
How much screen chemistry do these two have? When you’ve been a screen couple since the late 1990s, I imagine they have become quite comfortable with each other as actors. From ‘Cobra, übernehmen Sie’, aired April 7, 2016.

ITS COMING BACK!!!
Fox news For my dear Xphile friend, @laquisharedfern.
Sharon Tate and Dean Martin on the set of The Wrecking Crew, 1968.
Everybody loves somebody This was the first Matt Helm movie I saw as a child (I saw them all out of order) and I still have fond memories of it. Rewatching it a few years ago was a bad idea: Dean lands on “grass” that is clearly padded to soften the descent; there’s awful back projection; Sharon Tate’s character was made out to be a complete bimbo; and you know which parts are København and which are the back lot in Hollywood. Still, it was a fun, silly romp, with the added curiosity of Bruce Lee acting as a fight consultant, but Murderers’ Row remains my favourite of the Dino Helm films.
From There to Here I can’t bring myself to watch a drama where Gene Hunt and Annie Cartwright are having an affair. And they are still back in time, in Manchester, 1996.
Civvies Tom, Semir and Hotte get ready to go to Dieter’s for a barbecue, in ‘Vater und Sohn’, aired October 24, 2002.
