Movies and TV Shows
Along with all my other projects, one thing I really enjoy is watching movies and TV shows. Not maybe the popular ones, and certainly some of the more odd ones. Of particular delight is "making" my oldest child watch older movies. The most recent selection was the 1980 Flash Gordon movie (with a very young Brian Blessed and Timothy Dalton). One of the highlights from this particular movie was quoting parts of the movie, and K1 asking if I really liked it that much (K1 expected it to be far more camp than it is) - and their response when I said no, the songs from the soundtrack by Queen used soundbites from the movie and they were what I was quoting.
It's a really good romp, if you ignore the terrible scripting, 1980 special effects and so on, maybe because it really doesn't take itself too seriously. I believe there was talk of a sequel, but a falling out between director and leading actor ended that.
Oh well. Maybe a remake..?
