"Always entranced by cinema."

First of all - big thanks to lemmy for that invaluable list! [what a gift for accolade creators]

Very glad to see demonic made it - and with such an original take on the theme.

Some really great stuff from all you guys.

I must have had some kind of brain failure which I can only ascribe to my glut of BAFTA watching. I can't blame the MERPs for this one -- mea culpa maxima!! 'Cuz I was convinced I'd submitted fwfrs for my missing listers. But no, No, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Ah, well - we'll move on and rest assured I've already slapped my own wrist and am huddled on the naughty step. So lonely. So so cold ...

I guess the only remedy is another tasty TA:MOU

Voted on all to here.

I'm in Jamaica for a week so computer time is limited.

If demo gets in I will get him eventually but perhaps not until my return.

Will try to enter next week's contest but it would be Sunday or Monday.
