I recorded the Sting the other day. When I replayed it, I discovered that I have never watched it from the start. I must have watched it when it came on by chance on late-night TV and always started about the 10 minute mark and never noticed this oversight.

One of the joys of growing up when I did was being part of the first generation to have old movies on TV. Black-and-white classics you could stumble across on late night TV.
Casablanca is a case in point. I first watched it at about the age of 13 – it was okay. I then watched it at the Friday night flicks at uni and regarded it as one of the greatest films I ever saw. This was in part because I have watched it before and therefore the 2nd time I did I paid more attention to the absolutely scintillating dialogue.

I am embarrassed as a De Niro fan. The two I did not see were Deer Hunter and Taxi Driver. Seeing 8 out of the 10 suggests I should get out more and stop watching so many movies.

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
