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]
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 *
“STATUS?”
“Bodyguard.”
“COMMANDER?”
“Rico.”
“MISSION?”
“Mission? We’re goin’ to war.”
“WARRRRRR!”
dude, nearly an entire hour of Slomosa concert. So about six hours if you're stoned. https://youtu.be/yoij-_s4dFM
