George Lucas has an interview on dvd extras of The Hidden Fortress. I think he's full of disengenuous bullshit. #filmsky

Enjoyed The Hidden Fortress, although that Japanese Princess had a bit of a harsh tone to her. A much more action adventure than the blood soaked others but some great set pieces, especially the ruined fortress at the beginning where they thought they were in hell. #filmsky

Time for Sunday Samurai Cinema. This week.... The Hidden Fortress, 1958, directed by Akira Kurosawa and apparently where George Lucas stole all his Star Wars ideas (although he also pillaged Frank Herbert's Dune)

The fire is raging and I'm trying a new alc free beer called Nowt Peculiar (instead of Old Peculiar)

Mate's back so it's to the pub and this is why I'm glad I don't drink anymore!! But I like a real fire.

4 hours door to door airport drop. That's my good deed for the year all done.

Have to say....it's a bit of a sh!t hole

Airport!

Sunrise 2

Quick coffee and then off to the airport for pick up, hopefully before the storms. I haven't been this awake at 6.30am all winter.

Got myself my last cup of teapigs Super fruit tea...I can thoroughly recommend these as a fruit tea (when on offer as a bit pricey)

Had a rewatch of The Raid 2, it's a continuation from The Raid but focuses on gangland war, bit convoluted story wise wise but it is tense, frantic in parts, visceral fight scenes, grim with an oppressive atmosphere. Leaves you exhausted. Worth a watch. #Filmsky #Movies

I've been out all afternoon, slapped some ribs in slow-cooker before I went out, hey presto, dinner is served...

Just made the last check on the fish tank, no floaters, temperature is right, definitely needs a clean but no floaters. So when I pick them up at airport tomorrow I will say with confidence.....yeah all fine 🤞🤞😅
