Happy Star Wars day everyone, May the Forth be with you!

I’m here celebrating with a stack of classic Marvel Star Wars comics, a selection of video games loaded, including Empire Strikes Back for the Atari 2600, Super Star Wars on the SNES, Tie-Fighter, Dark Forces and…er hmm, Rebel Assault on my DOS PC, a deck of vintage blue Topps trading cards to enjoy and of course, the complete classic trilogy ready to play on my HTPC.

Let the Star Wars evening commence!

..and to get you in the mood.

…and my favourite

Minimalist Movie posters

I can spend hours browsing through various digital art galleries, especially those containing new interpretations of classic movie posters. Just lately, i’ve been enjoying the minimalist work by French artist Alain Bossuyt and his take on some cult favourites from Spielberg to Bond.

Yul Bryner was a scary looking dude anyway but as a emotionless, malfunctioned killer robot in a cool hat, you’ll never forget those eyes!

The perfect night it, The Thing followed by Escape from NY.

I just love this image – The faded looming shadow of the psycho truck bearing down on our panic stricken Mr. Weaver and his puny car. Fear, dust and heat on the hot and lonely desert roads perfectly captured.

Hmm, I’ve got Duel on my HTPC….that’s tonight’s entertainment sorted!

…and we’re back.

Hello all, I’m back, unpacked and catching up on web stuff etc so will answer all the comments that came in whilst i was away. Everyone had a great time and we plan to head up there again very soon. In fact, I’m already pouring over the maps! Thankfully the infamous  Cumbrian wet weather was nowhere to be seen and so our days trips and fell walking were pleasantly dry.

Internet signal was pretty much non existent at the cottage although I did manage to get a weak signal during one such trip…although to get to it, i had to climb 800 meters up the mountain range!

Back soon

Enjoying a relaxing week in Cumbria at the Lakes taking in the sights, fell walking and copious amounts of photography. Sadly, no mobile signal in our cottage so blog posts will be a bit thin on the ground. I’ve come prepared though and have my pad loaded with emus!

See you soon.
