I should learn woodworking, and I suck at it.

Question two asks us to name the studio west of central London whose facilities have been used for films that include Superman, Star Wars films, and most James Bond films.
GeorgeHOST
Notes that it evokes an unrelated Cub Scout racing event, which is the Pinewood Derby.
GeorgeHOST
I was a Cub Scout.
GeorgeHOST
I did the Pinewood Derby.
GeorgeHOST
I don't know that I would have got this otherwise, even though I have read about Pinewood Studios.
GeorgeHOST
But it probably only would have stuck in my mind because it's like the Cub Scout thing and didn't really land there as the studio in and of itself.
AmandaHOST
Yeah, very same, except I don't think I've read about this studio previously.
AmandaHOST
So this is a very Today I Learned question laying out some interesting tidbits for me.
Alex AdamsHOST
