HUDSON HAWK TALK

 I like Rolls Royces. I always have.

FAB1 is my fave but I like all Rolls.

Here's one I never saw on telly because I didn't watch Terrahawks for some reason.

This is the Hudson Rolls Royce.

The Bandai 1983 Hudson has been featured before on MC [Wotan has one] here's a snap from an old Ebay listing, which for me shows the toy in all its plastic glory. It isn't very big either.

I've never seen one in the flesh or ever seen one at a car boot sale so they can't be very common.

Have you got one readers?

Here's the real dope on the TV car from the Anderson's own You Tube channel.

Is it up there with FAB1?

I BLAME SPADER

I'm in a sort of Marvel loop at the moment. I can't stop watching the films, even though I've seen them all before more than once!

Last night watching Marvel movies I even forgot about The Outer Limits on TV, never mind Vampire Lovers and Squirm, which is one of my fave schlockers [my daughter got me the actual cinema quad poster for Christmas]. If that wasn't enough last night Castle Freak had an airing on the telly [Horror Channel], although I don't know if it was the modern remake or the scary original.

I blame Thanos and his infinity stones for distracting me like this. He must have a TV stone!

Watching The Avengers: Age of Ultron again I remembered that Ultron is voiced by one James Spader, so I blame Spader too!

Spader is an actor I associate with the Eighties. A strange eccentric, almost awkward young actor back in the day. He was never really going to be a leading man say in the vein of Tom Cruise. More like a Buscemi or a Torturro. 

I recall Spader mostly for his role as the cocky upstart in Jack Nickolson's Wolf, in which Jack pees all over his shoes in the Gents, perhaps the most understated werewolf warning in moviedom but one that made me chuckle. 

I also saw James Spader in more risque flicks like Crash and Secretary, in which his awkwardness was properly at home I would say.

He was a symbols expert in a sci-fi film way back but I forget the name. He had to decipher hieroglyphs in a scene reminiscent of the discovery scene at the start of Prometheus.

Anyways, I'm sure James has done more than this. He's the same age as me and it was fun to hear him again in Ultron.

Do you like James Spader readers?

WHAT'S IN YOUR FRIJJ?

When I was a kid I got home from school and drank a glass of flavoured milk. Usually strawberry or banana in those days, courtesy of Nesquick powder.

Nowadays I like Crusha milkshake syrup if I can get hold of it or more likely than not I drink a ready-made flavoured milkshake after work.

These range from Moo Milk to Frijj. I stare in wonder at tins of Chocomel but it's too dear.

Now when it comes to Frijj I'm having a milky debate with myself. Which is better tasting, their Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavour or the Cookie Dough flavour?

Bath fantastically delicious, my money is on Frijj chocolate fudge brownie. Yours?

Do you have something nice after work or after a hard day's retirement?

HELIJET PROP

 

I've blogged this before I think, a prop I just love and saw on a Ewbanks auction site. I saved the pics as its so darn cool. I forget exactly but I assume its from Terrahawks the TV show.
