Sundays indoors
Well, I haven't been here for a while. Been kind of busy doing nothing really.
Yesterday we hired a van and David drove us a hundred miles to Norfolk to pick up a kitchen seating unit and table we'd won on ebay. Our van was enormous and way too big for what we wanted, but better to be safe than sorry. Stopped off in Newmarket to get fish and chips (yay!) on our way back. The unit is so brilliant and was so worth all that effort, it's going to look great.
I've been boxing more and more stuff up for our eventual move, which I've enjoyed for some reason, maybe because I can't wait to leave this flat.
Stuff we've watched:
The first season of 'Department S' - totally in love with this show and I love all the characters, though how Jason King was ever considered a sex symbol is beyond me.
'Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla 2' ('Gojira VS Mekagojira' Directed by Takao Okawara 1993)
Brilliant except for 'Baby Godzilla', who was annoying (was he meant to be Godzuki?). Enjoyed seeing a Godzilla film again, as it's been a while. Rodan's there too and goes all glittery helping Godzilla after an attack from Mechagodzilla.
'Klondike Annie' (Directed by Raoul Walsh 1936)
Another Mae West film. Usual campery and fun. Love watching her walk and her facial expressions, she's hilarious.
'Superman 2' (Directed by Richard Lester 1980)
I love Ursa (Sarah Douglas) in this film, shame she doesn't get to scrag Lois Lane more often.
'To The Devil A Daughter' (Directed by Peter Sykes 1976)
I've seen this Hammer film a number of times, years ago but this was the first time I've viewed it on DVD. It's cool, yeah the ending is slightly rubbish, but you do get Honor Blackman (in a weird cloth headband), baby sacrifice, talk of witchcraft, evil Christopher Lee (as a deranged Satan worshipping ex priest), a quivering Denholm Elliott as the father of Nastassja Kinski (who gets her kit off), gorgeous Anthony Valentine oh and exploding pregnant women. DVD features a nice interview with most of those involved.
'Spartacus & Die Zehn Gladiatoren' ('Gli Invincibili dieci gladiatori', 'Spartacus and the Ten Gladiators' Directed by Nick Nostro 1964)
Possibly the most homoerotic sword and sandal I've ever seen with Dan Vadis and his nine merry men (fellow gladiators). Nice picture on the German language only DVD.
'Zimmer 13' (Directed by Harald Reinl 1964)
Okay-ish Edgar Wallace tale, usual stuff... with a very cool soundtrack though.
'...e tanta paura' (Directed by Paolo Cavara 1976)
With Corinne Clery and Michele Placido. Lots of nudity but little standard giallo stuff.
'Death Walks In High Heels' ('La Morte cammina con i tacchi alti' Directed by Luciano Ercoli 1971)
Watched this before but that was a dodgy bootleg with a real crappy picture, so it was a real treat to see it and it stars one of my favourite euro ladies, Nieves Navarro (as a stripper no less!). Great imagery, sets, costumes, scenery and a wonderful score. DVD released by NoShame (US) in a gorgeous box-set along with Ercoli's 'La Morte accarezza a mezzanotte' and a CD of superb tracks by Stelvio Ciipriani.
Victoria Wood's omnibus edition of 'Acorn Antiques'
Which I think is possibly, still, one of the funniest things ever.
"...all's well that ends well"
Well yes, that's me, I need another cup of my delicious home made tea...
