A large crowd turned out for an impromptu performance from the Mary Wallopers on Garvaghy Road this afternoon. Their appearance comes after Beoga joined musicians playing at a protest against the planned Orange Order march in Portadown, Co Armagh last night. jrnl.ie/7178719

🦔 Hedgehogs travel long distances each night — but fences and walls cut their routes short, stopping them reaching vital habitat. 🧱 The fix is simple: add 13cm x 13cm square holes in fences to create Hedgehog Highways linking gardens so ‘hogs can roam freely! 👉 buff.ly/O0EAlio

I really enjoyed this weeks Hammer Time with @bunnydarke.bsky.social & @eofftv.bsky.social. What really struck me was that, apart from the grave diggers, I didn't even realise that Horror of Frankenstien was going for comedy! Now, do I blame Autism, or Sangster?

Horror of Frankenstein wasn't terrible. More like a cheap TV adaptation not a Hammer film. It really fails with the pacing, everything that happens once the creature shows up, and the terrible ending. Pointless and irriating, though entertaining at times. @bunnydarke.bsky.social @eofftv.bsky.social

A few scenes in the Horror of Frankenstein and so far… not terrible. There’s still time, though! Irritatingly I’ve already seen @bunnydarke.bsky.social and @eofftv.bsky.social’s Letterboxd scores (something I try to avoid). I’ll try not let that influence me.

Last Hammer Time post of the day, I promise! Scars of Dracula is dull. By far the worst Hammer Dracula film. Lee clearly doesn't want to be there. The bat manages to be both the best and worst thing in the whole film, which is kind of impressive. @bunnydarke.bsky.social @eofftv.bsky.social

I expected the lesbian elements of Vampire Lovers to just be a male-pleasing gimmick but there's more going on beneath its 'lesbians are a threat to society' narritive. Its creepier & sexier (at times) than I'd anticipated, but doesn't quite hang together. @bunnydarke.bsky.social @eofftv.bsky.social
