Watched April Fools which was so bad it was funny. Of course the most likeable character ended up being the killer.

JAS-4 i'm a big cream fan jake . just curious what is paper padding . do you perhaps mean the song wrapping paper or is this a different song i don't know. if you do mean wrapping paper yeah it isn't their best song . they released it as their first single. it went nowhere and they of course moved on . as for the reunion ginger lost his battle they had a reunion a couple years back it's on disk. .i'm cheap and broke so i haven't checked it out

Yeah I meant Wrapping Paper just man I'd never heard that before. If I hadn't seen the documentary I'd never of thought it was Cream.
Anyway, I watched John Entwisle: An Ox's Tale which is about The Who's bassist which talked about how his unique style of playing came from playing the french trumpet when he was younger.

The Mummy from Hammer Films.
Peter Cushing is always great, and Christopher Lee hit a home run in the titular role. The makeup was great, special effects were top-notch, and all the other actors and actresses did a great job. Much better than the Universal film.

Credit Wikipedia. Bow to it's greatness! The Mummy!: Or a Tale of the Twenty-Second Century is an 1827 novel written by Jane C. Loudon. It concerns an Egyptian mummy named Cheops who is brought back in to life in the 22nd century. The novel borrows many themes and ideas from another popular science fiction novel written by a female author of the period, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley,[1] as well as ideas about a future filled with advanced technology. In addition, it also features one of the earliest known examples of a "Mummy's curse". And for total nerds, here is the academic longhand. www.romtext.cf.ac.uk//articles/cc10_n01.html
