2012

We did not know how good we had it. Swedish men´s publication Slitz, issue 10 2012. Steve McQueen on the cover, Errol Flynn, George Best, Charles Bukowski, Russell Brand, Dolph Lundgren, Frank Zappa inside. Plus other manly things like classic battles, hard rock (Bullet), gadgets and… loads of chicks. Of course this had to go. I wonder what happened? Did it happen in an organic way (fading sales?), or did the orders come in from upstairs? Who knows, but it was a global thing was it not (we all remember magazines that just vanished). Maybe it was the Internet? Now when I look at this issue, it is almost unreal.

There is a six episode documentary series on Canal+ in Poland about the classic television show Stawka (Kapten Kloss in Sweden). I would love to see that some day.

Disclosure

Disclosure is in the air… About bloody time too. I think Dark Journalist is a pretty good source (loads of not so trustworthy people out there). And speaking of this subject, this UFO magazine saw print recently in Sweden. Not bad. Could we get cracking on all this please? And I did notice that Steven Spielberg has a new movie coming up in 2026 called, you guessed it, “Disclosure Day”.

Got To Love Xena (26)

Final post on Xena for the time being, with a couple of Dark Horse era comics (issue 9, published in 2000). Will the franchise be back some day I wonder? A reboot would be interesting, if made by the right people. Maybe a movie?

Where Eagles Dare

Showcasing one of the DVDs that I got as a Christmas present, the 1968 hit movie “Where Eagles Dare”. Back then, it was Richard Burton that was the main star, now this edition is part of a Clint Eastwood collection. I guess it does not matter, the movie is still seen and appreciated. To me, it is the best WWII adventure movie that was ever made. It had everything, even down to the superior soundtrack. I may have seen it over 50 times. I think I will pop it in tonight actually. Back in the day, a big movie would return to the big screens (in theaters across the land) again and again. I first saw it when I was 13 (in 1974) and it was so good that I returned for a second viewing the next day. I was not supposed to be allowed in but I somehow did and the theater was crowded to the hilt on both nights. Millions of Swedes has seen this at the movies, it might be one of the Top 10 movies of all time over here. Then they started to show it on television, maybe once a year or so. I catched it then if I could. Just sharing the vibes. Then you had the VHS release and all the other DVD/Blu-ray editions. Lets just say that they did good with this movie. I was very happy when I got to interview Ingrid Pitt back in 2001, whom had starred as Heidi in this film. You can find the interview on this blog, archived in June 2013, so there is that.

Tarja Christmas Fun

I recently framed a magazine cover (Pizza 2006, my publication) with Tarja from her last days in Nightwish along with a Local Crew pass that were handed out to guests on the final gig in Stockholm on that fateful tour in 2005. I think it looks kind of cool. Gave it away to a buddy of mine that appreciates Tarja and Nightwish as a Christmas present. I do enjoy to frame stuff, it really is good fun.

Disney Christmas

Up early to start the day with some Disney on DVD. “Mickey´s Once Upon A Christmas” is a one hour (+) movie from back in 1999 that features some of the most beloved characters from the Disney universe. Kelsey Grammer is one of the narrators. Some good stuff, certainly appropriate for the day.

Bundy Christmas

Married With Children era (1987-1997) cover from Swedish weekly TV publication. Not sure what year, looks like it could be from around 1990-1991. Great show. As things have progressed, in some ways the show is even funnier now. I have a box set just sitting there waiting for me to enjoy it all over again. Maybe next year.

Got To Love Xena (25)

Well I have showcased some Xena stuff in the last few months on the blog and this will reach the end of the line for now before the end of the year. Here is a couple of editions of the Dark Horse Comics from 2000. Not sure how many variants there were of this particular issue (5) but I like these covers.
