My New Favourite?

I've been to some odd secondhand bookshops in my time, but this might be a new favourite. There's a pile of Nortons - some of which I have - and some Bradleys - I have not - so a return visit may be engaged upon. Though too late for them to be of use. I settled for Sea of Sargasso in hope I have not although it turns out not to be 1970s, so I was misled, Troilus and Cressida, ditto, appears not to be one I have I have already, All The Devils Are Dead to thrust at people and an edition of the Ingoldsby Legends. Because. More I could have. But I had dragon breath in there.

And I saw a Thanet Gannet.

I need at the very least a bus ride there for a nearby photo op, although the light was perfect on Saturday.

No, the bookshop wasn't in a quarry, actually. It nearly was.


You'd just never know.

2010 Films: CXX-CXXV

I suspect there has been something missing here, but I have been watching a lot of tv and things have been melding into one another...

So, especially because I know what is coming up in 2011 (having been there when I watched them), do we finish 2010 on a high?

CXX: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975)

Richard O'Brien's gender bending musical - with Hammer horror sets, now watchable with the opening in black and white - as interesting for its cast as anything else.

CXXI: The Abominable Dr. Phibes (Robert Fuest, 1971)
CXXII: The Incredible Melting Man (William Sachs, 1977)
CXXIII: Blackenstein (William A. Levey, 1973)
CXXIV: The Island of Dr. Moreau (Don Taylor, 1977)

So what is the ( finish the year on a high film? )
