MAN CRUSH OF THE DAY
“I made some good pictures, and I made some bad ones. I wasn’t trying to build an image, though; I was trying to build a life for myself.”
Sal Mineo
Clint, leading up to Chrimbo I càme upon the 🌈 fan connection on YT to a medieval history of Merlin and Prince/King Arthur in the Kingdom of Camelot. Now personally I didn't take an interest in the BBC/Netflix series on TV 2008 or so. So I was a bit gobsmacked when all these fanbases showed up on the 'relatioship' of Merlin(a sourcerer) and Prince/King Arthur. It's a classic story and many a Hollywood variation too. This BBC series was aimed at a younger more modern generation of watchers. So Merlin and Arthur were more relatable to younger audiences etc. I guess I need to sort out the BBC/Netflix archives and watch the whole series 5 series from 2008-2012 Basically it was a bromance intertwined with medieval 'history' Think Prince/King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, Camelot, Queen Guinevere and Merlin with his supernatural/magical powers. Easy to think of Errol Flynn movies 😉 Ok, playtime is over now but search YT Merlin and a whole rabbit hole appears. Cheers DougT 🏴🇬🇧

Talking of Joan of Arc, as you did, some OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) to celebrate her. Cheers DougT 🏴🇬🇧
