Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-6-2017

That’s a point!

In amongst all the chat about the Democratic Unionists, yesterday?

I forgot to mention I’d seen a movie!

The 2016 version of Ghostbusters.

Yes, I know it got a lot of flak.

And, granted, it’s not perfect.

But it’s both fun, and entertaining.

AND got Ernie Hudson … !

What more do you want?

But let’s move on, shall we?

And a thought …

“This is horror, admitted, of a sort. But it is horror perpetrated by unhuman beings. They’re not relatable to Dad - at least I hope they’re not! - and it’s entirely harmless in this context.”
Kit Pedler, 11 June 1927 – 27 May 1981.

Today’s Teaser will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Enjoy the day.

*        I’ve just looked on Amazon, Olga‡.   They’s not actually got it on Prime, it seems: or blu-ray.   They DO have copies on DVD, and VHS.   VHS … !   Things are getting stupidly retro, if VHS is making a come back … !

†        I really couldn’t tell you, there, Debbi‡!   :D   I get the impression Mike Pence makes the DUP and the Tea Party look like a bunch of soppy liberals … but — from over here — he looks a lot more presidential — and dignified — than his boss.   (They DO sound similar, don’t they?   I think there’s only SO many film score writers to go around …)

‡        Just listening to the Radio 4 news.   There’s still doubt about any deal.   Has either of you got £500 for an electoral deposit^?   I may as well stand for the Monster Raving Loonies, if it goes to another election … !

^        It’s OK, I’m joking!
