Drat … !
Me and Kevin had the pizza …
But forgot the big tin of biscuits … !
I have to wonder what on EARTH overtook me, there.
Still …
It DOES mean more for me.
Yeah …
You’re right, that DOES sound a touch off, now I come to think of it.
Think I might just have to save some …
Now … You’re probably wondering why all the talk of food … ?
Bless ’im, Kevin D likes company and a movie, occasionally. And fancied sharing something in his movie collection he knew I’d not seen in a while: the 1980, Mike Hodges directed, Anglo American film that is … Flash Gordon
~~~~~
Set in contemporary — AHEM — times, the film sees Sam Jones as the eponymous Flash: a football quarterback flying home after a game, along with travel agent. Dale Arden (Melody Anderson).
Only to come unstuck, as their private plane crashes: as a result of Hot Hail launched at the Earth by Ming the Merciless, Emperor of Mongo, who’s intent on |invading Earth …
And wearing a hideously deformed Fu Manchu beard … !
~~~~~
Now, I’m perfectly aware that Flash Gordon is not high art.
About as far from high art as it’s possible to get.
On the other hand, though … ?
As cheesy as it is, romps along at a good rate of knots, has a fantastic soundtrack AND has a storyline that sets out to entertain, and achieves that splendidly.
Flash Gordon is cheese.
Not any old rubbish.
But an incredibly good quality brie … !
Flash Gordon

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
