Our heroes are back!
“The slogan ‘Our Heroes are Back’ is used to announce that, after an absence of one decade, all major pieces in the Rijksmuseum’s collection are back where they belong. This is what happens when they suddenly emerge in an unsuspecting shopping mall somewhere in The Netherlands.”

Casino Royale done in Lego…
James Bond’s Casino Royale introduction done in Lego…
Must have taken a lot of time to put together.
No he wasn’t…
One thing that does confuse me now and again or makes me smile, are the search terms that people use, one recent one was:
was simon pegg in 4 weddings and a funaral
My site mainly came up as I had written about Four Weddings and Funeral in my cinematic advent calendar and at the same time there was a record of a tweet I had sent.
@simonpegg @totalfilm hope we do see the Falcon and in less than twelve parsecs.

The combination meant that the search query, was simon pegg in 4 weddings and a funaral, put my website near the top of the listings on the search engines.
Well in a final moment of clarity, just to note, Simon Pegg was not in Four Weddings and a Funeral, he was considered for the part of Rufus, which eventually went to Rowan Atkinson.
She Said, He Said
She Said, He Said: A Prequel to The Name of the Doctor.
Should be a good episode. It was in the news that the DVDs containing the final episode were sent out three weeks early to some US people. Might need to avoid some spoilers.
Space Oddity
There is something about this video.
Dead and decaying helicopters
One thing I have noticed from afar travelling into and out of Weston-super-Mare are the old helicopters outside the Helicopter Museum. I have been to the museum on a fair few occasions, but these decaying helicopters are not part of the tour and you can’t as a general visitor access them.
On a bike ride the other day, the major roadworks and redevelopment has opened up the old airfield next to the museum, so I was able to get up to the fence to take a few pictures.
I have no idea what the plans are for them, are they just sources of spare parts, or are they awaiting restoration.
One thing that did stand out to me was the BAe Hawker Siddeley Harrier and Rolls-Royce Pegasus Engine Test Rig. As you can see it’s not a helicopter! It’s a pity it’s not on display.
London 1920s, in colour
This film footage of London is from the 1920s.
Shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of films using the colour process his father William – a noted cinematographer – was experimenting with.
