Weak As Water!
The title for this post comes from the old British sit-com Are You Being Served?, the character Mrs Slocum would usually say it to one of the male characters when they showed any hesitation in action to save their jobs. My wife so loved it that she would say it to me in the exact same tone whenever I would spend money I shouldn’t have on a serial. I don’t do that anymore, preferring to wait until I have the money these days (amazing the fiscal responsible differences between when you’re twenty and when you’re forty).
So I had money this Christmas, not a lot, but enough to get the third and final volume of Raymond Chandler from the Everyman Library, leaving me enough to get a serial. So what did I get? One that I have never seen but have always wanted to? Upgrade to a better copy on a personal favorite? No, I got Jungle Queen. Remember how I gave that less than glowing review of it? It was too talky, it was slow moving, too little action. Remember how one of my first posts on this blog was that I wouldn’t be upgrading it to DVD? I’m sitting here getting ready to pop that DVD in my player. I am such a sucker for serials that I bought one I panned. What’s next, snapping up James Horne serials?
