This week I've been on a staff training excercise. This means that you and the rest of the staff have to come up with a number of plans concerning tactical issues - in this case on a battalion-level scale. Our "staff quarters" were extremely tiny and we had to make the best of it. When visitors (brigade generals, lieutenant colonels, etc.) came around to inspect there was no room at all, so I commented that this was just like the cabin scene in "A Night At the Opera". Dead silence.

Still can't believe that no-one knew any Marx Brothers films, I grew up watching the lot of them!

Anything with Robert Mitchum. Coolest mofo from the 40s/50s. I love classic film noir and no one's better than Mitchum!

For those of you who haven't seen Goodfellas, this is one film that even for someone who is very, very hard to please, would love. The storyline is impeccable.
