“With cigarettes, my wife and I, we made a deal. We only smoke after sex. I've got the same pack now since 1975. What bothers me is my wife. She's up to three packs a day.” The late great RODNEY DANGERFIELD on The Tonight Show.

This classic heist-action-comedy is so with a first visit / revisit. THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN (1960) Very post-WW2, very British, fantastic Cast. It even has an appalling cameo from a young Oliver Reed. #JackHawkins #RichardAttenborough #RogerLivesey

Polygamy is ok in the jolly old state of Utah, but adultery, not so much. Alan Shore — played by one of my favourite Actors, JAMES SPADER — isn’t too keen on these double standards however, so off he brilliantly goes on one. BOSTON LEGAL (2006) Great series.
