Week 34 update Anything interesting happen this week? Hmm. First up, wrestler Terry Funk: Terry Funk, the hardcore wrestling legend whose career spanned five decades, has died at the age of 79 | Daily Mail Online Funk died at 79 so he's worth 46 Base Points for @Karpaty Lviv who also gets a Solo Shot bonus taking him to 96 points. ============= Up next, American television man Bob Barker: The Price Is Right host Bob Barker dies aged 99 at his Hollywood home - with tributes flooding in for 'Greatest MC who ever lived' | Daily Mail Online Two straight Daily Mail links? Oh dear. Pick a better class of people. It's also probably worth pointing out that the man was a hell of a golfer: Barker died at 99 so he's worth 26 Base Points for @German Jag and @Ludo*1. @djchapsticks gets a Vice-Captain bonus for 39 points, @TxRover gets a Captain bonus for 52 points. ============= Up third this week, scientists and documentary participant Nick Hitchon: Nick Hitchon, nuclear scientist whose life’s ups and downs were charted in the groundbreaking TV series Seven Up! – obituary (telegraph.co.uk) I've never seen any of the Up programmes but it's an interesting concept. The Wikipedia article for the programme says this of Nick: "By 63, he had developed a cancerous mass in his throat and had recently lost his father, leading him to contemplate mortality and the future of his family after his death (he says at one point that if there is a 70 edition of the series, he will not be alive to participate in it)." I think the notion of mortality is probably the biggest thing I'd take from watching it. Several lives, a collective total of centuries of existence, all condensed to a few hours of television. Is this all there is? Hitchon died at 65 so he's worth 60 Base Points, with @chomp my root also getting a Solo Shot bonus for a total of 110 points. ============= And now, the good stuff. Noted baldy fraud Yevgeny Prigozhin: Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in plane crash, Russia’s investigative committee confirms | Russia | The Guardian Well I don't know about you, but I'm convinced. There isn't really much I can do with this death right now. The relevant authorities say he's dead, so I'm treating it as such. If there's a steward's inquiry before the end of the year or some other time in the future, we can deal with that when it happens. Prigozhin died at 62 so he's worth 63 Base Points for @Michael W and @TxRover, with a Deadly Duo and Unnatural Causes bonus giving them 138 points apiece. I'm disappointed nobody picked up on my No Country For Old Men reference the other day, so you're getting it again: He was in a plane that was shot down, obviously he gets a bonus.

Walk the Line (2005) Man becomes famous musician so he can meet and marry his childhood celebrity crush. Absolutely remarkable singing all round and very watchable. Ali (2001) The Fresh Prince gets a job as The Greatest. I had seen this before a long time ago and had the vague recollection that it was a mediocre film with some very good performances in it. I was right. I don't think it's possible to make a film about someone like Muhammad Ali with the social backdrop of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King being assassinated. There's just too much stuff to put on screen, and this suffered from trying. Even just a word or two on screen about names, dates, locations. That or a guidebook handed out in the cinema. Heat (1995) Is there any other film that has as many people in it doing as many different things that manages to be as engrossing and sympathetic to all of them as this? I don't think so. My favourite part of this film is the setting - LA barely gets a look-in with all the Acting going on but this oppressively endless backdrop of lines of blue lights seems like a cage keeping everybody in line as they try to fight against what's keeping them in place. I feel like this film is also something rare - a thing from the 90s with an unquestionably 90s aesthetic (Moby covering Joy Division, come on) that hasn't aged a day. I look forward to watching it again in another five years and having a similar reaction. Skyfall (2012) Bond does some advertising work for Caterpillar construction equipment, Volkswagen and Macallan whisky before doing a bit of Home Alone cosplay. You forget how highly stylised so much of this film is. For a film series that's been defined by showing you exotic locations it's impressive how this manages to maintain that in an age of the internet. Silhouetted hand to hand combat atop a Chinese skyscraper with a giant blue jellyfish on a screen in the background was my highlight. Actually it wasn't, the highlight was obviously the various scenes where assorted Scottish hills and valleys dwarf everyone moving through them. Again, while I'm hardly an authority on Bond I don't think it's a stretch to call this the best one. Posts about Spectre and No Time To Die will be following in the next few weeks, and although I've seen them both (once) before I think Skyfall is a bit of a watershed moment, where "yes we know he's old but he's still relevant" goes from being a subtle yet measured depiction into ludicrous self-parody. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Mhmm.
