Reverse thrusters - Not for the first time the 4 that I would have picked are all eliminated. George Clooney and Jack Nicholson getting very little support while at least Denzel Washington & Dustin Hoffman made a bit of an effort.
Ready to launch - Will Jimmy Stewart be one of the rare breed to make the last 16 or can Eggsbenedict Cucumberpatch do for him. Robert De Niro sets off on the mission to take out Nicolas Cage. Sir Ian takes on Tom Hanks who might find himself cast away. In the final pairing John Malkovich is gunning for Paul Newman who is dancing around like a cat on hot tin roof.

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
I think I'm losing the plot (or what little left I have of it). I was sure I had posted this morning in the previous round before heading out. It wouldn't have made a difference (Clooney and the 3 winners) but I was so sure I did, was on mobile and just stuck in the first names rather than type them out fully or copy-paste and then delete the one I don't want. :/
Benedict Cumberbatch
Robert De Niro
Tom Hanks
Paul Newman
^ Sorry Dave nothing came through anyway. Similar thing happened to me on Day 1 of the Advent Sheep. I remember typing the message and was sure I sent it but later on it wasnt in my sent box and obviously E.N. didnt get it.
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
Ah no no it's fine. Just one of those things that has you doubting yourself. I sent off the message to Nitty for the advent, and then I was sure I did this after. Wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
