And this week's Friday night movie has been... Flash Gordon!
Consider this the antithesis to the dour stuff I have been watching these past few weeks.
Lets be honest here: The only reason i know this film exists is through the Queen connection ("Flash! A-HAAA!!). And it would be safe to say that I'm not the only one. Still Flash is - apparently - the king of the impossible and the savior of the universe so that was a least worth a look.
So let's not kid ourselves. This is b-grade fare: The colours are garish, the effects cheap, the acting constantly swinging between wooden and hammy, and the whole thing was laughable, even with the passage of forty one years. Still i can't say it was dull. And it is proof that adding Brian Blessed to anything will increase it's awesomeness tenfold.
And hey, the music was great
