• As mentioned in my last
Captain's bLog entry, I've been out straight with freelance writing commitments for the last few months. So, for a while, anyway, you're likely to see a lot more image-centric posts here at
Space: 1970, at least until I clear some stuff off my desk and have time to write (and
finish writing) some more substantive posts for this site (including the long-teased
Omega Man and
Space: 1999 "War Games" articles). I usually feel like posting just pictures or videos is a bit of a "cheat," but the truth is, I generally get as many - or more - comments/feedback on those posts as the ones that I labor over for hours....
• A couple weeks ago, I went ahead and ordered a copy of the
Hunter Prey DVD from an online retailer, and in the same order, I purchased a copy of the 1969, Gerry/Sylvia Anderson-produced feature,
Journey To The Far Side of The Sun (a/k/a
Doppelganger). Hopefully, they'll get here this week.
I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I've never seen
Journey - a serious oversight for the proprietor of a blog like this one - but I've wanted to for a long time. Aside from the Anderson connection and the associated fine miniature effects & FAB production design, I'm a big fan of star Roy Thinnes, so I'm eager to finally sit down and watch the film.
• I also picked up the
Rollerball DVD the other night, used, for about $5. Unlike
Journey, this movie is one I've seen several times, but I never owned a copy, and I'm pleased to finally add the disc to my 70s sci-fi library. Now all I need to do is pick up a copy of
Silent Running (another glaring hole in my collection)....
• Stats: We're up to 467 "likes' over on the
Space: 1970 Facebook page and 220 "followers" here on Blogger. As always, thanks for your support. It's pleasant to work on something that other people seem to get so much enjoyment from.
