There are two movies that for some reason I have never watched, but know practically everything about: The Nine Live of Fritz the Cat and Flesh Gordon. Just thought I’d post this so you can get an idea as to why I haven’t seen it, although watching it now, it doesn’t look much worse than the actual Flash Gordon movie that came out 6 years later…
In The 70s
Because there is already a "That 70's Blog", which has one entry and was last updated in 2005, welcome to Made in the 70's, a little blog about that long overlooked era of British and American culture that made me the person I am right now.Pirelli Calendar

Memories
Quentin Tarantino may have worked in a video store, but I grew up in North London, home of the glorious Scala Cinema in Kings Cross, where arthouse met grindhouse. You could go there one night and see Cinema Paradiso and go back the next night and see Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! They ran Monty Python all-nighters and spaghetti western double-bills and movies you simply couldn’t find anywhere else. Sadly, it closed in the early 90s after a legal battle against Stanley Kubrick when it decided to show A Clockwork Orange, which was still banned from public viewing in the UK (imposed not by censors, but Kubrick himself) and is now reborn as a music venue, but its time as the dirty little picturehouse on Kings Cross Road was an essential part of my 80s teen experience.
This isn’t really an actual 70s thing, but to follow up on my post about the movie Logan’s Run, here is a recreation of the Domed City scenes from the film in nothing but Lego. I’m constantly astounded by people’s creativity when it comes to these little plastic guys and the colorful brick universes they build, so I just had to post this.
One of the big stories in entertainment news today involves an episode of Sesame Street where current popular singing sensation Katy Perry sings and dances with the far more popular furry red squealer muppet known as Elmo. Apparently, the dress Perry wore for the number was considered inappropriate, showing too much cleavage and, well, jiggle-age for the toddlers to bear. However, having looked at the Katy Perry/Elmo footage, which was available for a little while on YouTube, it was fairly obvious that Miss Piggy has gotten away with more revealing outfits than Ms. Perry’s, not to mention that her boobs are bigger.
