Been tired lately and not got the energy for a pledge.

Not sure I can narrow it down to a single movie, but Star Wars (Original Trilogy) had a big impact on my life.

I like pulp games and Indiana Jones (again Original Trilogy) have an influence too.

Thanks to the wizardry that is air conditioning, my house is cool and nicely controlled. This time next month, I’ll be in Japan – countdown is on!

Pledge: carry on with my Legions Imperialis Sons of Horus start! It’s tedious, but going well.

Movie: A Bridge too Far. Always inspires me, and it’s SO long that I can put it on and forget about time.

Music: if you like blues, Slash’s Orgy of the Damned features some KILLER covers. Here, Brian Johnson of AC/DC fame does his best Tom Jones impression, while Steven Tyler of Aerosmith inhales a harmonica, whole! Fun!

Seeing Justin casually dismiss the gigantic mouldlines on the AC terrain annoyed me a bit.
I was like “Dude … they’re easy to clean, barely an inconvenience…”

// Movies ?
Nah, I don’t have any that would be directly linked to hobby.
Although there’d be a few that could work as inspiration.
Starwars wouldn’t be on the top of that list though.

For SciFi that would be Alien-trilogy, Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest.

And then there’d be stuff for Westerns like almost anything with Clint Eastwood.

Top of that list would be “Once upon a time in the West” because of its soundtrack, but then it’s done by Ennio Morricone

But there’d be things like Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill too,  although I’d probably would pick the German dubs for these

One of the few “top x of things you must own” videos that are actually good:

It’s been too hot to do hobby lately. Or rather I can’t seem to find good motivation to do anything in this weather.

After a nicely cool weekend, the weather here is turning decidedly hotter: 29c today, no cloud, but on the plus side the wildfire smoke has cleared almost completely! Breathing is back to normal.

Pledge: put up atleast one more post

Hello again all.

The one movie that has influenced me the most for hobby? I think The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is it but the work of Harryhousen is the key factor. I jumped onto Greeks from Jason and the Argonauts. I might go off the rails one day (*he says with a chuckle*) and put together an Alice in Wonderland army to send off into the world. (*thinks for a moment and puts that on the list of “Maybe But Likely a Passing Thought” armies to build*)

Outside of that I have too many things to use much of anybody else’s visions whole cloth. Take inspiration from bits and pieces of things and reform it into something new.

@sundancer does it make you feel old when you say “30’ish years ago”?

I know it made me feel old when I got my 30 years long service award from work. If I’d killed all the managers the first day I would have been released from prison sooner 🙂

*quietly updates hobby blog whistling innocently* @sundancer I have no idea what you’re talking about.

With the mention of westerns I think I’ll take a look at “A Fist Full of Dollars”. After “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” it just seems fitting to keep up with more spaghetti westerns. Of course this is after rewatching “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and “300”.

If we take the thought of the question and run further with it, what would be your most interesting film to twist into a game of 7TV?

I think bringing “Dark City” onto the tabletop would great and modify the rules like a UKGE scenario the crew talked about with a convention of zombies. A model of a lounge singer inspired by Jennifer Connely is mandatory at some point (ambience music optional).
