[Kai "the spy"]

Alright, one more really big bunch and I'm done.

In case you don't recognize them thanks to the lighting, those two gentlemen are Judge Reinhold and John Ashton.

While watching The Avengers the other day I noticed something I'd never noticed before:

There are dalek-toys in the department store where Mrs. Peel goes undercover (episode is from just two years after Doctor Who began on BBC).

It's times like this I wish I had the programs and skill necessary to make a new animated gif:

That scene from "Titanic" of Jack dancing in circles with Rose, only instead of Rose's reaction, we see that cat.

Your wish...

And there's other ways you can spin it....

You're welcome, although I must confess I didn't create it -- someone had already put it together; I just searched a bit and found it.

One of my favorite movies is John Ford's Fort Apache. It was shot in SW Utah in 1947. I always liked one shot of the San Juan Goosenecks, and when I was in the area recently I got pretty close to the spot where they photographed it, roughly 70 years later. It looks like they shot from lower down but I didn't want to get off the park trail, and of course different camera lenses. I suppose it could be doubles, but it looks to me like John Wayne and Pedro Armendariz were actually there for the shot, then closer shots were done on the soundstage.

That looks familiar. Have any other major films used that area?

Not that I am aware of, though it is not far from Monument Valley and Valley of the Gods which are in tons of movies. It is used in scenic photography fairly often, though.

This is a 'Perfect Sloe Gin Martini':

1 part Sloe Gin
1 part Gin (opted for Beefeater today)
1/2 part dry vermouth
1/2 part sweet vermouth

('Perfect' means half the vermouth is dry and the other half is sweet).

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I prefer a more simple recipe:

1 part Gin
1 more part Gin
1/2 part Gin
1/2 part Gin
.0005 part tonic water

 

[trekkiedane]

^What can I say? Some days I like a more complex (some would say 'girly') Martini w. a sweet taste and a pinkish hue

(But the second one is always much closer to your recipe (and has a twist)).

"Hand over paw, paw over hand, ..."

"Give me a fish, and I'm thrilled today!"

Imma touch da fishy!
