25/05/2023 IT STILL SEEMS A LITTLE ODD FOR TO ME TO BE SHOWING OFF PICTURES DONE FOR MY OWN AMUSEMENT BUT HERE THEY ARE.
Hi Arthur, Shades of Ray…
Hi Arthur,
Shades of Ray Harryhausen in that last image there, a great sense of scale.
I hope all's well!
Andy.
Hullo Andy, can't see a…
Hullo Andy,
can't see a Harryhausen connection myself.
Remember first seeing his sword-fighting skeletons. Since overtaken by technology but he was great in his day.

Hi Arthur, I was thinking of…
Hi Arthur,
I was thinking of Talos, the giant metal statue that comes to life in the Argonauts film ( same source as the skeletons ).
It's a fabulous, timeless image you've created there.
All the Best,
Andy.
Hullo Andy, right. You…
Hullo Andy,
right.
You obviously have a better recollection of the film than I do. Don't remember that bit.
Best,
Arthur
Hullo Andy, time in the…
Hullo Andy,
time in the cinema is not misspent.
As a teen I lived at a time and place where it was possible to see a different double feature seven times a week - which I was known to do. Four cinemas, weekly change of programme and something different for Sundays.
Prior to that was 'Saturday morning pictures' - kids programme with organ recital, cartoon. serial and main feature.
Plus sing a long -
" We come along on Saturday morning greeting everybody with a smile.
We come along on Saturday morning knowing it is all worthwhile . . . "
Happy days.
Best,
Arthur
Hi Arthur, Halcyon days…
Hi Arthur,
Halcyon days indeed! My cinema going began in the late 60s and early 70s when you were still guaranteed of a double feature. The ads were so slick and cinematic by then that I was often convinced I'd come to see the wrong film!
All the Best,
Andy.
Fabulous stuff, Arthur. Are…
Fabulous stuff, Arthur. Are you planning any more in this series Arthur? (hint, hint).
Hullo Chris, thanks for the…
Hullo Chris,
thanks for the compliment.
I hadn't any plans for more but you have given me an idea so watch this space.
Best,
Arthur
