The Daily Hilario(?): Dancing Divas and Tower Poppies

There are certain movies that if they come on TV or you happen upon a clip online somewhere, you're suddenly compelled to watch the whole thing.  They may not be the best movies ever, but they are some of the most fun.  One of those is, for me, The Fifth Element.  I've talked to many people who quite literally shake their heads when I tell them it's one of my favorites but that just reinforces the whole guilty pleasure nature of it.

LEELO DALLAS MULTIPASS.

One of the coolest scenes in the entire movie (and there are many) is the Diva Plavalaguna dance/song/fight scene and -- new to me -- here's the full green screen performance of the French actress lip-synching and dancing to the aria.  Do I spot a hint of Daniel Sturridge in there?

In completely different news, something cool but in an entirely different way is going on at Tower of London.  Here's the full story.
