    You mean you'll pass on picking 'Sgt Pepper's', right, Cam Bert? Not pass on watching 'Across the Universe'? Right? Right?

    I think that was the weekend she was away at Bernie's Holiday Camp.

    on the contrary! Much as tomspanks re-watched Tommy and realised it was way worse than she remembered, she'll get to re-watch Across the Universe and realise it's way better than she remembers! It's a public service!

    Ahh, the fourth amendment. That was a good amendment.

    Now, tomspanks, by the laws of Musical Mondays, you HAVE to watch the movie again. Just so we're clear.

    Well, get ready to be delighted at some points, and horrified at others. The catalogue is there in all its glory, in a myriad of ways. My favourite story was a few years ago when I was talking to my mum on Facetime, and she was telling me about how she was watching this nice movie that she found on demand. She was watching, and about 45 minutes in, she turned to my father and said 'I feel like I recognise a lot of songs in this movie'. And then, after another 15 minutes, she turned and said 'Have ALL these songs been Beatles songs?" She had no idea what the movie was. And that's the best. And she grew up alllll through the sixties as a major Beatles fan. Ha ha! I'm so excited now!

    Episode 155 - Airborne: LIVE!

    Can we talk for two seconds about the ridiculous death-toll that should have resulted from that race? Some physicist or someone needs to get in here and talk about the potential velocity of those kids on rollerblades going down a hill that steep. At the time, I thought, "thank God they have a roadblock at the bottom of the hill, or else they'd... OH MY GOD THERE'S A CAR." Side-swiping each other into guardrails? It's ridiculous. In the darkest timeline of this film, newspaper headlines cry out of a community's pain. CINCINNATI MOURNS: FIFTEEN DEAD IN ROAD RACE DISASTER Cincinnati, Saturday: The joy of a group of some hundred finish-line spectators turned to confusion and pain today when instead of celebrating the winners of the Centrals versus Preps downhill rollerblade race for cultural supremacy, word filtered down that each of the competitors died tragically as they ascended Devil's Backbone. "I can't believe they tried it," said Clem Salverson, local Devil's Backbone resident who watched the disaster unfold from his front porch. "The last guy to even try to walk down this hill was completely messed up. Don't they know it's a two-way street?" Each of the boys, ranging between sixteen and seventeen years, lost their lives one by one in a variety of manners, all stemming from catastrophic falls as they picked up unsustainable velocities on the needlessly complicated road course. "They just went right under my truck," said Michael Mathis, local tanker driver. "I couldn't stop." The father of Blaine Chilton, Prep school star and NHL hopeful, looked visibly devastated as he witnessed his son's bloated body pulled from the river, after an unexpected flip over the guard rail. "Blaine told me he was hoping to push some of their guys over when they were going at top speed, but I didn't expect to ever see it end this way," David Chilton grieved. Most confused were Irene and Louis Goosen, parents of Wiley Goosen, who didn't even know their son was competing. "Well, now, he played a game of hockey once, didn't he father? I didn't know he could skate." "I gave him a puck," added Louis, clearly rattled by the loss. The parents of Mitchell Goosen, seconded to Australia on important wombat-related business, could not be reached for comment. With files from the Associated Press.

    Too much perfection? Yeah, I get it.

    Intentional curveball! Why pick something I know I love when I can rather be not offended when people actively hate the one I picked? No, I'm not as brave as Taylor Anne to pick something I am invested in.

    No, I can't quite bear the idea of anyone saying anything negative about The Blues Brothers. Even tomspanks' three stars on Letterboxd still stings.

    That was a serious contender. But Moulin Rouge! is perfect, so we'd get really bored after we agreed on its perfection by 9.08am next Monday.

    That will either be your greatest strength or your biggest hindrance in watching this. Ooh! I'm excited that a few of us haven't seen it! What did you guess? (Mamma Mia, right? It was Mamma Mia.)

    Nope, that's not in there. All the other ones are though. So many of them. Many in very interesting ways, too. You'll love it!
