The killer sofa

In every Bond film there is that little bit where the gadget whiz Q shows off a few of his new inventions to a curios Bond.

Half Baked

This cult comedy from 1998 told the story of a bunch of amiable slackers who spent most of their days in a haze waiting for life to happen. Their attitude to life is so relaxed that one night after a party they find a strange guy asleep on the couch. Unable to get much sense from him they decide its best to leave him where he is. The ‘guy on the couch’ remains where he is for the duration of the story and seems to be accepted by our loveable losers as some kind of de facto housemate.
