Couple of nice tomes came through to me today from @fabpress.bsky.social

@raskolnik.bsky.social Thanks muchly for the retweet geezah!

Why are @amazonhelp.bsky.social UK telling me they now can't get the hardback I pre-ordered for August and cancelled it saying only paperback is available... and then amazon US is saying it's already out AND in hardback. Fine, reordered from the US then but WTF? How does that happen?

SEXING A PARAGRAB. I review Julie Peakman's wonderful tome LIBERTINE LONDON - SEX IN THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY METROPOLIS right here... nuts4r2.blogspot.com/2026/05/libe...

And finally: “… in these days of post-pandemic distrust of our governmental resources like the much maligned but somewhat hard to negotiate auspices of the NHS.”

And even: “… if a bawdy house did not contain any beds, then there was no obvious evidence to the law that it was a brothel.”

And also: “… the local butcher with a sponge and soaking up some blood so, in the heat of their customer’s passion, they could quickly splash the blood from the sponge now secreted in their room onto their vagina…”

And: “… a kind of hierarchy of so called ‘fallen women’. Such as the differences between streetwalkers, bawds, courtesans, strumpets, mistresses and so on.”

From my latest review: “… by sexual historian Julie Peakman (now there’s a candidate for nominative determinism if ever I saw one)…”

SANDWICHES THERE. I review horror movie THE SAND, right here... nuts4r2.blogspot.com/2026/05/the-...

And also: “… as the rules of ‘the sand’ and the monster beneath become more defined and their number gradually diminishes.”

And: “… before their feet touch the sand, one of them sees a gull land on the sand, get stuck and then get eaten by it.”

From my latest review: “an unknown, carnivorous creature sitting under a large area of the sand and feasting upon any humans who get even close to making contact with said sand.”

Apologies for the lateness of the hour for my Friday night blog but you can blame Arriva and Metroline between them for not being able to run competent bus services.

Happy belated birthday, Vincent Price (born May 27th, 1911)! Here's my recycled review of Dragonwyck (1946): cinematiccatharsis.blogspot.com/2020/04/drag... #filmsky #moviesky

"An undemanding romp with simple narrative that gets Din Djarin the Mandolorian from one fight to another..."

I'll be posting each track from my new album each day, in case it increases browsing. This one ends with a drifting small instrumental, a weird no.

@barrycinematic.bsky.social Thanks for the retweets sir.

ICYMI: This week, I take a look at Rock 'n' Roll High School... #filmsky #moviesky

Da heute Peter Cushings Geburtstag ist und ich mich gerade mal wieder ein bisschen mit Nigel Kneale beschäftige, verlinke ich mal auf meinen alten Blogbeitrag zu "The Abominable Snowman" (1957): katzenklaue.blogspot.com/2013/07/ein-...

Musical May continues with my review of Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979): cinematiccatharsis.blogspot.com/2026/05/rock... #moviesky #filmsky

What the heck am I drinking? I should be so lucky as to make it to the end of the bottle.

@raskolnik.bsky.social Thanks for the retweet sir!

CREST OF THE RAZOR. I review the new STAR WARS movie THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU right here... nuts4r2.blogspot.com/2026/05/the-...

And also: “Look at the floor of the arena and a better look at the aliens fighting there and you’ll see what I mean.”

And: “… but more like the whole thing is a game of two halves... the first half being a James Bond style opening sequence followed by a rescue mission…”

From my latest review: “That being said, although it’s a half good movie... is it a half good STAR WARS movie?”

I had an excellent read with Moon Over Brendle by Jeff Noon that I strongly recommend www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/5/...

This week on the blog to Iceland and murder with Stop Dead by Katrin Juliusdottir translated by Larissa Kyzer www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/5/...

THE GREAT LONDON FILM AND COMIC... CON. My 2900TH POST is right here... nuts4r2.blogspot.com/2026/05/my-2...

And also: “No people, if you postpone something until a date taking place even after the next annual event was supposed to happen... it’s not a postponement, it’s a cancellation!”

And: “… gone up another £6 this year to a staggering £31 entrance fee (for just the stalls, which is the ticket I always buy and which, before they got pseudo-popular, always used to cost around a fiver).”

From my latest post: “… where else would you find pink, knitted Daleks and homemade Alpacas?”

It’s Sunday so why not unwind with the latest Wombling along with reviews, articles and this week rollerskates www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/5/...

Happy Birthday to the last editor for Doc Savage Magazine, Daisy Bacon. She tried to bring the novels back to their adventure roots, but it was too late to save the hero when Street & Smith canceled all their pulps. #docsavage #pulp #adventure #daisybacon

APOSTROPHE NOW! I review series 1 & 2 of BLAKE'S 7 right here... nuts4r2.blogspot.com/2026/05/blak...

And even: “… teleport bracelet out of a Lucozade bottle and some easily found or reconstructed household objects. The final result looked so good that it seemed obvious that this was indeed the same way…”

And also: “Sometimes he got a little victory, sometimes it was a stalemate and, yeah, sometimes he lost in quite spectacular and damning fashion.”
