2nd attempt at a Bluesky account for this autistic engineer's rambles about cult films, music, books, bicycles, dogs, etc I was @richwh.bsky.social but that account appears to be permanently kaput...!

Last night's watch, and a first time one too: Villain! (1971) Don't know how I'd missed watching this one for so long, a right gritty classic up there with Get Carter. Burton's performance is excellent, both menacing and vulnerable; and the script is very witty. Highly recommended!

So, Weird Worcester 2 then! And I may have gone a little bit crazy at the signature tables... 😅💸 Bit of a thread... Italian action film legend Fabio Testi was super cool and friendly; managed to get the Speed Driver poster on the day and get Fabio to sign it! Plus of course the Contraband poster! 🤩

I have this exact locandina of Fulci's Contraband - I am, to say the least, rather excited about the prospect of getting it signed on Saturday by Fabio Testi - yes, FABIO TESTI!!! 😎😎😎 *Apologies for the geeking out! 🤪🤣

Last night's viewing: The Black Panther (1977)! Superb British crime film based on the real life robber, kidnapper and murderer Donald Neilson. Contains a chilling performance by Donald Sumpter as Neilson. This is gripping, absorbing and totally non-exploitative - quality true crime!

So, how old were you when you realised Soundwave has a pause button and a play button molded into his head crest? More obvious on the tape player where it is painted, but the same detailing is on G1, MP et al

I'm not starting yet another guitar renovation / upgrade build am I??? Well, now you ask... Yes I am!!! 😅😂 This is way more complicated than the last one...! *Subtle hints on the finish theme will be dropped as we go along... 🥚🚀🪖😉

A guitar body, that looks a bit like a Telecaster, but with a tremolo cavity, on a workbench being sanded down.

📀+🍺= Footprints On The Moon Much to my eternal shame, a first viewing of this excellent Luigi Bazzoni film. This Shameless disc is very good indeed. Not a giallo, not a horror... but something very unique and haunting of its own design. Florinda Bolkan turns in a superb performance. Recommended!

Errrr, well... there you have it - I appear to have made an electric guitar! 🎸 It like works and everything too! 😂 Now that I've finished, I might be tempted to try another one... 😏
