That Stormbreaker movie was really irritating to me, and I haven’t even seen it, cos it means that I couldn’t use that title for my present book and had to go with Stormshifter instead.

Nope, can't say I did see it, jellyfish are not my favourites anyway. I believe the Japanese eat some kinds of jellyfish, but it has never appealed to me.

Matt is the scuba diver round here, he was a founder member of the British Sub Aqua Club in the Medway Towns. I just "played" at it.

The diamond scrabble is on my latest blog post. Did you see the huge jellyfish in the tank in the Stormbreaker movie though? Not something I would want to dive to rescue…

The fish from the aquariums would be too small for a freezer ru, not worth eating at all (unless it was in a Chinese store where they sell fresh fish from tanks). No I would be putting them back in water of some kind. Don’t remember the diamond scene, I might have been scrabbling around for that.

I can imagine Jo scrambling around on her knees during the middle of a shoot-out, trying to rescue all that lovely fresh fish for her freezer. (Remember the opening sequence of the second Indiana Jones movie, chasing the diamond among all the scattered ice?) 😀

My thoughts exactly...

I'll let you know about the movie when it comes out. I am anxiously waiting to see if they really did use her music or not.

Will have to watch out for the movie. Did you say what it was called or don't you know yet, I can't remember.

Actually aquariums feature in a lot of movies and frequently end up being broken and all the poor fish land on the floor. Yes I know, what actually goes on the floor isn't really the fish, but no-one in the stories ever seems to care. If I were one of the characters I would be scrabbling on the floor trying to rescue them. Unless I was being shot at I suppose, ah the problems of movies.

We have lots of them here too…and I must admit there is something kinda gross about eating a fish under the eyes of the guys who were swimming around with it a few minutes earlier.

Oh, and by the way, I believe there is a scene involving fish tanks in the movie nashii composed music for…

There are still lots of restaurants that do that ru. Or over here anyway. At least you know your seafood is fresh.

Jo, that reminds me of restaurants during my childhood, where they would have a row of aquariums along one wall filled with live lobsters and crabs etc. … the idea being that you chose which one you wanted to eat and they would hoist it out and cook it for you. There was an unpleasant, vaguely sadistic edge to the whole thing.
