FILM: Drive
So, I’ve just seen Drive in the Covent Garden Odeon with 5 other people and my wife (and my unborn baby, who was kicking and punching intermittently to show their appreciation of the awesome soundtrack).

HUGH HEFNER INVENTED BATMAN
Hugh Hefner was a big fan of cartoons and comics before he launched Playboy. He still liked to throw comic-book themed parties.
