Someone told me recently that any situation, no matter how sad, can be made infinitely less distressing merely by the addition of the Benny Hill theme music. I decided to test this out with the movie that Channel 4 recently designated the biggest tear jerker of all time.
Mmmm, I think the jury is still out on this one. Perhaps I should devote the entire of next week to investigating it.
Perhaps not.

Brilliant – highly amusing!
And Whit, I think you’re right. In fact, what the WORLD needs is some girls in skimpy outfits..

BrentD – That’s tempting, or possibly Benny Hill to a John Williams score.
ImPerceptible – Do it, it’s a decision I have yet to regret (of course I only put it on half an hour ago)
Whit – Nurses was what it lacked, nurses and a man being pushed in a wheelchair.
Donna – Ha indeed
Jason – I’m considering doing further investigations later in the week.
Phil – The chaseing about the hotel in The Shinning was what sprung to mind
Bon Bon – You are an evil mother.
Jane – Thanks for sticking it up on your blog.
Oli – Whit is always right. Well, mostly always.
Avitable – I don’t own the film so I was restricted to the clips I could find on youtube. i really wanted all the running around in the isolation tubes
Jeff – Yeah, X men 3 is a bit like that too.
