Casting Dune – Rebecca Ferguson initial reactions

So, we have our Lady Jessica. This little piece of news about Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming Dune project with Legendary Pictures snuck in under my radar. I don’t know exactly when it was announced. I just saw it on iMDB. My first reaction was: I know that name but I’m not sure where from. When I […]

Lady of the Blue Rose – a poem

It was Saturday night and I’d settled in to my palatial accommodations on the Camden Road. I’d had a great first day at the Twin Peaks UK Festival, the highlight of which, I think, was hearing Chrysta Bell sing this fantastic song, Blue Rose. I was going to write a post about the first day […]

Monday Music 21 – 2018

I used to watch this all the time when I was growing up. Before he was joined by Ice Man and Firestar, it was just Spidey in the cartoons. The theme music was very memorable and I still know most of the words to this day. That’s why it was so nice to see it […]
