Those wacky weather temperatures are hitting 30 C here in the UK. Tried poking at the job search, but this afternoon it's all "damn, it's hot, I'm tired" and it's like I'm in an episode of Stranger Things, running around in the woods yelling for Will.

Heh, hardly anything new. Marlon Brando has some really crazy stories about his 'process' Dustin Hoffman has his wonderful "method" acting. Fun moment of movie trivia, he had a big scene in Marathon Man that was shot on a Monday, he turned up looking awful, so much so that the Director and such almost called an ambulance for him, and they were asking him what was up. His reply was that since the scene was set after he'd been tortured and interrogated, he hadn't eaten, had kept himself awake, and had only had one or two glasses of water over the entire weekend. Laurence Olivier, who was also on the film, got into conversation with Hoffman over this and was all "Why on earth did you put yourself through that?" Hoffman was all "Well.. duh.. how else am I meant to do the scene?" Olivier's dry reply was "Dear boy, why don't you just try acting?."

It's all about the emphasis... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEs8rK5Cqt8

We're having that record breaking heat that's running up past 30 C and hovering around the 32-35 C weather. Which is apparently causing issues with the emergency services since people just aren't used to it. The cat seems fairly miserable and keeps stalking around yowling its head off and moewing at me, so I keep checking he's got water. I'm idly poking at the job hunt, reading a fair bit, procrastinating somewhat, and wrestling with the temptation of splurging on a new graphics card.... hmmm.

I've actually got most of the boxed sets for that from it's first release stashed on my shelves....

When trying to explain the Count of Monte-Cristo and the characters and how they all relate. Dang it, I'm going to have to find time to re-read it once more.

Fake, but lol. It's not about the reality of the situation, it's about the amusement value of it. That's why it goes in this thread.

Momentum - A nice budget action-thriller, with some nice dialogue and banter between protagonist and bad guy. Olga Kurylenko as a thief with a mysterious past pulled in for one last heist, when things turn sideways and turn into a cat and mouse game with James Purefoy sinking his teeth into the role of scene-chewing magnificent bastard of a master assasssin / troubleshooter, and Morgan Freeman doing the cameo as the Evil Mastermind in the background.
