Our good friend in Malmø (yes, the part of Denmark that the Swedish savages stole from us but which we will conquer again some day very soon, as soon as we finish our coffee and pastry) Lars Jacobsson has opened a spiffy new blog about peplum films! Yes, these films about big, muscular, well oiled men from the Roman empire and beyond. Obviously his blog couldn't be entitled anything but
Maciste and Friends!
Check it out, it's pretty cool and if you're someone from the old Danish collector scene I'm sure you're gonna go: "Is this a pseudonym for Henrik Larsen?", LOL, but no it isn't. And as far as I'm aware Henrik is out of the Pepla fandom and like some King Kull Lars has claimed the throne of the Peplum insanity. xD. Please just don't make me sit thru all those films! Haha.PS: I'm sure Lars would hate for you to think he himself were a muscular he-man so the pic on top of this post is obviously one of Lars being pissed on the train. xD
PS. PS: And do click the label at the bottom of this post for the other entry to this series; Jared's Worldweird blog!
This is an awesome site, Jack! I am a huge peplum/fusto fan and have written extensively about the genre myself at my site. Very cool. Thanks for posting the link. There's some interesting movies found there.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. And yes that is an awesome site with tons of cool covers!
ReplyDeleteYou know, most of us are willing to give it back. What are you willing to trade it for?
ReplyDeleteYou're willing to give what back?
ReplyDeleteBut anyway I don't offer trades. I expect you people to hand me gifts because I'm awesome and lovable.
Malmö of course. You can have the whole of Skåne too, but we want something in return. A couple of thousand pretty danish women perhaps?
ReplyDeleteAhh, I see. No, you can have some crates of strong beer. It seems that's what you come here for anyway most of the time.
ReplyDeleteIf we can keep Malmö and Lund you can have the rest for some free passes at Köpenhavns Tivoli. And we'll even throw in Jimmie Åkesson as a freebie!
ReplyDeleteBut I dont like strong beer. Unless it's ale. How is the ale in Denmark?
ReplyDeleteJimmie Åkesson as a freebie, haha. No, I think we'll just take Skåne again. I have no idea of how the ale is here. Yes, shocking.
ReplyDeleteJocke: studies show that danes drink this stuff all the time: http://www.polar-beer.com/images/Den_Glada_Dansken_Julol.JPG
ReplyDeleteThat's why they're so merry.
I will have to go to denmark and try the ale someday.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but you cant have one without the other. If you want Skåne, Jimmie Åkesson comes with it. free of charge of course.
Den Glada Danskan, haha.
ReplyDeleteYou keep Jimmie Åkesson and we'll take back Skåne and keep the ale too. xD
