Is that like deforestation?

...

no.
it's more like the auld glesga greeting
'pick a windae, - yer leavin'

The evening's entertainment, post shower & dish washing (not necessarily in that order), is posited as "Trail of the Pink Panther", this being the one made of out-takes following the death of Peter Sellers.

I don't hold out much hope for it.

At 21:00 on Film4 Sony Movies Classic there's a noir starring Glen Ford, Gloria Grahame and Lee Marvin (this last in Very Nasty mode IIRC*).


*Yes IIRC.

The Pink Panther thing was, as advertised, assembled out of bits and pieces, the sadest part was David Niven's voice being overdubbed due to his MND.

Now watching The Big Heat, wherein, oddly, Mr Marvin has dark hair.

Don't tell Zeity, but I've just seen the Wig Wearing War Criminal in his TJ Hooker incarnation in a trail for same on Sony Movies Classic.

not opposed to, probably consecutively leading to.
not that i'd know, of course, being a devout pacifist and all.

Mr Marvin has done his thing with the boiling coffee.

<hiatus>

He came to A Bad End, and his girlfriend to an even more final one.

Back to the telly again tonight with a rewatch of…

Swedish Halloween Movie Night here, with Låt den rätte komma in (2008), or Let the Right One In in English. A twelve-year-old boy meets a twelve-year-old girl, but as we know from that nice Swedish lady at the Interesting Conference the other year, supernatural beings walk the mountains, forests, and housing estates of Sweden (despite the Swedes’ attempts to pretend otherwise to the rest of the world) and all is not as it seems…

Excellent film, I thought, and worth a watch even on nights when the forces of darkness aren’t exalted

…and my opinion remains unchanged; it’s very good indeed.

I’d forgotten that the Swedish lady was at the Interesting Conference rather than the Boring Conference; but the latter happens more often, so interesting things I learned in Conway Hall tend to get associated with it

Still raining off and on, and it appears it will continue in that vein for much of the night

Goodnight all
