RIP the legendary Tom Stoppard. Among his more famous achievements, he radically rewrote Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (under the pen-name Barry Watson), adding most of the thrilling beats and hilarious gags. One of my favourites: the cut to Brody, after being hyped up as a master of spycraft, lost and blithering in a Turkish market.

Watched The Cranes Are Flying (1957) for the first time last night and still thinking about the astonishing cinematography. How did they do this shot?

This isn’t mentioned in my book - there was just too much other weirdness to fit in - but in 1990 Steven Seagal participated in a video called The Celebrity Guide To Wine. In it, he and then-wife Kelly LeBrock open a bottle of wine in the most excruciatingly awkward way possible. Enjoy. (Thanks to Lawrence Norton for the original link)
