Mired in cleaning

...taking a short break, I flip on Channel 4 and the afternoon film, Warlords of Atlantis where I find Michael Gothard! in a blonde wig and gorgeous silver frock, very Mary Quant.There's an awful lot of bronzed male thigh on show all over aamof, silvery Stig-like helmits and rubber sea-monsters and James Onedin! and Doug McClure!  Yea verily, the stupid is stupid and everything is very poor indeed and yet, I cannot look away!

Highly recommended.

But I must get back to my scrubbing, these cushions won't poof themselves.

Can't say I know anything about anybody here (except I do remember Doug McClure, and I can't remotely imagine him adding to the believability in any movie involving sea monsters and helmets). But "an awful lot of bronzed male thigh on show" -- depending on the thigh in question, not a bad reason for not being able to look away? Especially when combined with the allure of truly cheesy Stupid... :-)

Ack!

For some reason no one has informed me about these comments! Why LJ, why?!

So good to hear from you O Delghtful one! I hope you (and your Mom) are alright.

The film was fabulously stupid in the best Ed Wood tradition. I remember going to see another like it, also with the wonderful Doug McC (ah, Trampas! How I loved thee) when they journeyed to the centre of the Earth or somesuch, at the cinema, when I was much younger than I am now. I suspect this is a sequel of some sort.

Anyway, it all seems to be on You Tube, scroll down for the link.

Take very, very good care, m'darlin. Have a gorgeous Easter. ♥
