This movie is kinda interesting, though the script needs some help.

I have no idea how to describe it.

Split Enz - Poor Boy (1980)

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 17:41:04 +0000

Between us there's too much space... What more can a poor boy do?

I love Split Enz!

1059. The Micronauts at the Fair 13-16!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 14:31:22 +0000

We are over a quarter of the way through the series, and things are starting to shape up.

Pretty sure I know where Henrik ended up...

1058. A Brave New Captain America World review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Well, I am only 18 months behind on the Marvel movies now (more, if you count the ones I haven't reviewed).

I like this one.

I am pretty sure I have liked fish my whole life.

That's one of the reasons I like tigers!

1057. Captain America 1990!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000

I like it, but it could have been a lot better. Easily.

Why? Let me know!

1056. Blue Demon vs. The Satanic Power... sort of...

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 08 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Blue Demon's second movie is quite... atmospheric.

Exciting it is not.

1055. This is The Point! 1971

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 19:11:50 +0000

Such a fun movie I forgot to set up the 2 AM post.

Watch!

El Demonio Azul (1964)

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 19:09:54 +0000

This is the first Blue Demon movie. Blue was the second most popular in lucha liibra, after El Santo.

I'll be reviewing this in the near future.

Namu, The Killer Whale

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 17:29:19 +0000

From Wiki- Namu, the Killer Whale (re-issued as Namu, My Best Friend) is a 1966 American film about a "killer whale" (orca) being studied by a local marine biologist after the murder of his mate and initially feared by local townspeople.^[1] back to me:

I saw this in the theater at some kiddie show, I think more than once. The second time had an unfortunate incident involving gum and my hair. That is a sad memory for many reasons.

1054. Diamond Eye 21-23!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000

I don't recall why I have a Diamond Eye label, but it worked out just fine!

This show is good.

Oblio and Arrow

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Thu, 05 Nov 2026 16:34:47 +0000

These are the heroes of The Point! a 1971 animated movie based on a Harry Nilsson LP. I watched it when it premiered then.

I have watched it at least one more time since then, but I don't remember anything other than it being on the telly.

1053. The VisionQuest 04 Malware review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Thu, 05 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000

We are halfway through this great series, and I am looking forward to being surprised.

At least, I hope I am!

Villain of the Week- Ruggedo, AKA Roquat, the Nome King

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 16:29:28 +0000

From Wiki- The character called the Nome King is originally named Roquat the Red. Later, he takes the name Ruggedo, which Baum first used in a stage adaptation. Even after Ruggedo loses his throne, he continues to think of himself as king and the Oz book authors politely refer to him that way. In Baum's universe, the Nomes are immortal rock fairies who dwell underground. They hide jewels and precious metals in the earth, and resent the "upstairs people" who dig down for those valuables. Apparently as revenge, the Nome King enjoys keeping surface-dwellers as slaves—not for their labor but simply to have them. The Nomes' greatest fear are eggs. Upon seeing Billina, Roquat is terrified, declaring that "Eggs are poison to Nomes!" He claims that any Nome who comes in contact with an egg will be weakened to the point that he can be easily destroyed unless he speaks a magic word only known to a few Nomes. back to me:

I did not remember Ruggedo had a different name originally. He drank "the waters of oblivion" in the fifth book, so taking a new name isn't surprising. I need to reread the books again.

1052. The real Revenge of the Creature review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000

One really feels bad for the poor Creature. They could have left him alone, especially if he was the last of his kind.

But they couldn't (thanks to the almighty dollar, I know)!

Slade - Cum On Feel The Noize | Live on Disco (1973)

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 18:26:03 +0000

This is NOT a live version of the song, though being charitable it can be called a live performance.

The guitars aren't even plugged in... Great song, though!

1051. The merry Micronauts 09-12 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000

This show should have been broadcast. It is pretty good.

Stupid money gets in the way.

1050. The arty Agatha All Along 03-04 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 21:55:50 +0000

This is a really good show, almost halfway in, that is!

I hope they don't do the standard BIG Marvel ending...

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-23-1986

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:03:39 +0000

Social commentary in later Calvin strips was not unusual, with people whining about it.

But who can say this isn't correct?

1049. The wild War of the Monsters review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Yeah, I have talked about this movie before. It is still above Zigra, though!

But not by much.

Flipper 1963

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 15:39:19 +0000

From Wiki- Flipper is a 1963 American adventure film written by Arthur Weiss^[3] based upon a story by Ricou Browning and Jack Cowden. Produced by Ivan Tors and directed by James B. Clark, the film centers on a 12-year-old boy living with his parents in the Florida Keys who befriends an injured wild dolphin. The boy and the dolphin become inseparable, eventually overcoming the misgivings of the boy's fisherman father. back to me:

The series was ubiquitous in the 60s and 70s (in syndication) but the movies were never aired here in my area. I think I have seen it, but now I am not sure.

1048. The haunting Halloween Tree review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000

This is quite good, and I want to read the original novel now. Then possibly review both!

Perhaps next year...

1047. The Paul Lynde Halloween Special review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 20:25:38 +0000

At least I have a reason for not posting this yesterday, since I had one earlier in the day. Yay excuses!

I kinda miss variety shows.

1046. Patrick Stewart in Memoriam

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 18:52:25 +0000

Damn it, I did not expect to do another one of these so soon. Especially about Sir Patrick Stewart.

I'm scared as to who might be next...

1045. The dashing Diamond Eye 17- 20 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

They figured out the formula, but alas, it appears to be a bit too late.

Gotta love the theme songs, though!
