There's a clue in the first word of SWMBO.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition.
But certainty is an absurd one.

Dunno, but play your cards right and you might get to see a blonde in a state of 'a/undress'.

I haven't read it either, but I did see the film.

Re: Drill batteries
I might have - but I often only realise I've seen a film before after I've watched at least half of it (IYSWIM) because I tend to fall asleep in the boring ones.

Re: Drill batteries
I saw it at the proper cinema when I was a mere callow yoof. Ursula quite impressed me.
(The sequence where she enters the flame for the second time and ages rapidly and turns into a pile of dust was quite 
at the time - before all this CGI malarkey).Oh yeah, batteries....
