CEV!

Poster for Hammer's 1967 "epic", "The Viking Queen". A woman - presumably the eponymous Viking Queen - rides a chariot, sword in hand. The wheels, of course, have those spiky rotating things attached. It's all very Boadicea if not very Viking-y.

1967, and Hammer tried going full historical epic in "The Viking Queen". It's a little bit Roman, a little bit Welsh and (oddly) a little bit Greek as well. The one thing it isn't is Viking! But is it a Boudicca or a Bouddican't? @househammerpod.bsky.social investigate further.

It goes places…

That’s the reason I’ve gone for the upgrade. The visuals are stunning and deserve the best. Glad to read that the Arrow master has nailed it too.

I’m picking the 4K up from my local HMV tomorrow morning. I have a morbid curiosity about the TV cut, I’m guessing it’ll be minus the sex & violence but still as mad as cheese. 😃

😂😂🤣

True. They’re buggered with Nic Cage…

At least the #BAFTAs recognised the passing of a major talent. Something that the #BBC were incapable of doing…

👍

She had shoes older than him. Love how nobody bats an eyelid

Couldn’t have asked for a better host for the line up: Babs, Fry & Palin. It’s a no brainer.

Just seen it happen. Ouch.

AND NOW MICHAEL FUCKING PALIN!!

Oh my! I started the day off with some Michael Winner. I never knew he did a western. I’m hoping it’s suitably demented.

BBC4 are showing Kenneth Williams filling in as the host of Wogan and interviewing Stephen Fry. It’s all my comfort blankets in a row.

Dave, you win at internetting so many times ❤️

A whole new meaning to bullseye 🎯

Fucking hell, mate. Time to go full Gen X and ignore all that nonsense and play with live cables by the pond.

I’m still not emotionally prepared to go back to II

Still panic when I get an annoying cough for starters. 😳

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist.

Pint, anyone?

That’s an absolutely mental scene! A great fun film. Perfect for a Saturday morning 👍

That’s still on my watchlist! I’d never heard of it until I dipped into Olly’s Biography last year. They remained friends ever since despite Olly being very picky about showbiz types.

#NW You Must Be Joking (Dir. Michael Winner, 1965).

I don’t think I’ve seen such an insane cast list since I first saw The Wrong Box!

Now I know where Winner got his catchphrase from too…

I Know What You Did Last Summer Wine?

Sounds horrific tbh

Alright. How much did you slip ‘em? 🤣

Joking aside, that’s grand! 👌

@indicator.bsky.social collection update: did a quick check and realised I’d taken my eye off the ball. 5 US only releases to catch up on including The Rainbow Jacket and that’s ace!

Thankfully @diabolikdvd.bsky.social exists… 😅

Perfect way to end the week? The new @indicator.bsky.social Blu Ray of THE MAN INSIDE (1958), a Hammer fan’s wet dream of a cast under the control of John Gilling, a real fucking boss of a director!
