Watched TCM Kay Francis day films last week. One I had never seen was Another Dawn with Ian Hunter and Errol Flynn.

1930s films with Cagney and one with Shirley Temple; Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm.

Clive James, Australian and English author, says:

quote "On C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein: "I still haven’t forgiven C. S. Lewis for going on all those long walks with J. R. R. Tolkien and failing to strangle him, thus to save us from hundreds of pages dripping with the wizardly wisdom of Gandalf and from the kind of movie in which Orlando Bloom defiantly flexes his delicate jaw at thousands of computer-generated orcs. In fact it would have been ever better if C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien could have strangled each other, so that we could also have been saved from the Chronicles of Narnia."

On sex: "Experts say men think of sex every 10 seconds... What do they think of in the other nine?"

Words.
