spoilers for a 63 year old movie 

Okay, The Magic Sword was a serious let down. There's a certain amount of goofiness which you just accept in fantasy movies made prior to Lord of the Rings, and Magic Sword was basically headed that direction right up till the end. Which I'm okay with - I actually did like the sort of comic relief good wizardess, she was very 60s.

But... a climactic fight against a two headed dragon and a powerful evil wizard should seriously, *seriously* kick ass more than anything else in the movie and uh, literally the magic returned to his sword to make it glow and he slew the dragon with one thrust? The evil wizard had his ring stolen while he wasn't looking and then took an angry puma to the head? This is NOT Ray Harryhausen Sinbad film stuff, here.

coyote sing along hour, filk, 

oh a scotsman clad in kilt left th' bar one evenin' fair
an' one could tell by how he walked that he drunk more than his share
he staggered 'long until he could no longer keep his feet
an' he stumbled off into the scrub to sleep beside the street

their faces gaunt
their eyes were blurred
their shirts all soaked with sweat
they're riding hard to catch that herd
but they ain't caught 'em yet
"See that sleepin' scotsman
so tall an' hansome built
Ah wonder if it's true what they
don't wear beneath the kilt"

[chorus] YIPPIE YI YAY
YIPPIE YI YOH
GHOST RAHDERS IN TH' SKAH

they crept up on that sleepin' scotsman quiet as could be
an' lifted up his kilt about in inch so they could see
as a gift they left a bright blue ribbon
tied into a bow
around the star the sleepin' scot's
kilt did lift and show

as the riders loped on by him
he stumbled toward a tree
behind the bush he lifts his kilt an' he gawks at what he sees
an' in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
och lad, dinnae ken where ya been
but Ah see ye won first prize!

[chorus]

cannot hear “Sway” without wanting to ask the nearest person/people if they know the way to Shell Beach

"perhaps the most unique aspect of SIXGUNS & SONGDOGS was the Squinting Phase, in which each player attempted to gain an initiative bonus through having the grittiest, sweatiest extreme close up."

oh YEAH it's BADGERHAMMER! A new miniatures game which pits charming European animals against each other in DEHUMANIZING GREAT WAR TRENCH WARFARE! Monetizes both animal and grimdark miniatures fans perfectly!

* privately grumps that SIXGUNS AND SONGDOGS, game of 1870s animal violence, never did all that well *

oh whoa. I hadn't realized that the Lancaster doesn't have a copilot, so the dude who crawled out on a wing to put out a fire in mid-flight? Was the FLIGHT ENGINEER. Which explains why he thought it was necessary and also wasn't immediately needed to fly.

oh no

swapping from Slomosa to Lord Huron means I went from

"dude. DUDE. What if I like, had an edible and watched Fire and Ice because that's the only Bakshi movie free on YouTube"

to

"what if I went to bed early and tomorrow drove north through miles of nothing in particular?"

dude, nearly an entire hour of Slomosa concert. So about six hours if you're stoned. youtu.be/yoij-_s4dFM

SLEEPING MAKES ME FEEL GOOD
I ain't afraid of no sleep
I ain't afraid of no bed
