This week's links are all about espionage. We start with the new film, The Spy How Dumped Me, and make stops along the way with The Man from UNCLE, Thunderball, Kingsman, Johnny English and more.
The three finger slip up never made sense to me. I don't think it's truth is so rigid. Another slip up that made sense, is in the Lee Marvin WW2 movie "The Big Red One", where a german reveals himself by using knife and fork like a european. And then the nice belgian landlady blows his head of on the spot. Great scene.
Interestingly, I adopted that knife/fork style on my own in the 50s, to shovel down my food faster as a famished-feeling young boy. Far more efficient!
