My friend from Copenhagen Nils Markvardsen (aka "the sleazy cowboy" aka Denmark's spaghetti western aficionado numero uno aka publisher of eXtase magazine!) went to the Fantastisk Film Festival a week ago in Lund, Sweden, and hooked up with Enzo Castellari (who directed Keoma, The Big Racket, The Inglorious Bastards, The Last Shark/Jaws, The New Barbarians, Bronx Warriors, and many more). Nils did a half hour interview with Castellari and promises we'll get to see in at some stage, probably online as he's not really working on a new ish of eXtase (boo-hoo!!). Great shot, Nils. "The nice gent and the Cuban freedom fighter" as I call this picture, haha.
Magnus Carlson, editor extra-ordinaire of Gory-Glory magazine, also dropped by and said hello to the ol' director of those multo violenta Italian genre flicks. Obviously, Magnus didn't have far to travel as he hails from the area anyway. 
And here's a photo of Jocke Andersson who you'll recognise as a regular commen-tator (heckler? LOL) here on the Lejemorder blog. The piccie is from Jocke's visit to Luigi Cozzi's store Profondo Rosso in downtown Rome this summer. Needless to say the other gent is Cozzi. Check out Jocke's new English language blog Rubbermonsterfetishism. By the way, 
I just discovered Profondo Rosso actually has a webpage. It's in Italian but you can translate the site by using the Google bar. And finally, completing the Scandinavian blog roll here (i.e. in that I mention a blog from each country, not that I mention every film blog in the Scan countries!), here's a pic of bearded Norwegian drunkard Patrick of Tales of a Bearded Movie Aficionado blog which has got one of the coolest blog logo pictures ever. Patrick also ventured to downtown Roma and shook hands with Cozzi two yrs ago.
Oh, and is the Swiss collector who just won GHOST OF GUTS EARTER from Lars Jacobsson really gonna pay for it when he finds out Lars cut the tape to pieces???
(click the scans for bigger size. In regards to the photos I wouldn't advise it though. xD)
Thanks to DSF for subscribing. More mesmerised members into my cult. Yay, spiffy!
I have no idea who is behind DSF but his blog is here and anybody who left a nice comment to "that" post almost four months ago is welcome on this blog. :o)
And I forgot to link to the Flying Maciste Brothers who subbed the other day: Destructible Man.
Thanks, Jack. Believe it or not I wasn't drunk on that picture, not from alcohol at least, but from the pure excitement of meeting Cozzi!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I have the coolest blog ARTWORK ever :) It's made by a crazy American, (Aren't they all!) who goes by the name, MATTHEW ALLISON!
A nice part to the story would be that I met Dario Argento there aswell. But I didn't. Or did I? Nah, I didn't.
ReplyDeleteI actually met David Hasselhoff and he signed my Starcrash DVD. No, I didn't!
I'm familiar with Metthew as a Dvdmaniacs member but not really as an artist. But yes it sure is cool blog artwork. Haha, if you go to the Profondo Rosso site that I linked to you can see some of the other more well known people who went to visit the store.
