I am a fucking idiot.

I'm a total, absolute, complete and unutterable fucking idiot.

For ages and ages I've been going "I recognise him" every time I see Robert Shaw in a movie. He's the blond dude in From Russia With Love and he's in a million bloody war films...

but it's only tonight watching my new DVD of The Battle of Britain that I thought to look him up on the imdb.

He's fucking Quint. FUCKING QUINT FROM FUCKING JAWS. NO FUCKING WONDER I RECOGNISE HIM ALL THE FUCKING TIME. APPARENTLY I CAN'T EVEN READ FUCKING CREDITS ANYMORE.

The assassin in From Russia With Love is the same as Quint. This would be forgiveable in anyone else, perhaps... but I've seen Jaws since watching From Russia With Love. For fuck's sake, who the fuck am I?

ETA: The very young Ian McShane in Battle of Britain looks oddly like that Stuart Townsend dude. Weirdness abounds.
