The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.
Thank you for coming: have a good day.
* The shopping wasn’t too bad, Olga. OK, granted, there’s something I forgot, but at least I managed to get a haircut! So that’s something.
An alien that keeps changing face … ? Naaaaah … it’s a bit implausible. On a more serious note … ? In No Time to Die, Lashana Lynch plays 007. And does rather well. (I think Cavill would be perfect. He does a sympathetic Sherlock Holmes, as well. How he’d do Bond, I don’t know. I could see him as the 14th Doctor: but I don’t think the BBC could afford him, as The Witcher’s got a very good budget.)
Happy Christmas!
† See you later, Mum!
‡ It’s a VERY good film, Debbi: certainly on a par with Casino Royale. But if you haven’t guessed who Lashana Lynch is playing, by now? Well!
Q1) Judea
ReplyDeleteQ2) Bread
Q3) Matthew (Luke)
Q4) Turkey
Q5) Cards
Now that you mention it, I think I had heard about that detail of the movie (perhaps they should go that way). There had been a lot of talk about Idris Elba, but it doesn't seem to be quite so high up now. Here they have some thoughts on it...

I really like Thomas Hardy, but I'm not sure about him for the part (he could do it, but I wouldn't if I were him. He seems to like to play very different parts, and that wouldn't work here).
I hope you have a good day today. We are going to my cousin's tomorrow (well, to a restaurant), but just my mother and me today, although we'll go out for a walk, probably to the promenade or the city centre. Have fun!
Oh, well, now you've made it impossible for me not to see it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think. :)
