With The Legend Of The Titanic, I have now reviewed *both* Italian-made animated movies concerning the sinking of the Titanic. Which movie is worse? Hoo-boy. Well, this one got help from a foreign country… though that country was North Korea.
What happens to ordinary people after a great traumatic experience? Fragments (a.k.a. WINGED CREATURES) provides an interesting and insightful look at the various things that can happen to these people..

Things are pretty disastrous here, so I can only hope that life is being kinder to the rest of you. There doesn’t seem much to say beyond “Take care” and “Good luck”, so I will say both most sincerely. Here’s hoping that 2022 gives us a break—and sooner rather than later.

The Phantom Empire (1988), in which the mysterious, final holdover of an ancient, pre-human civilization is a pretty girl with big boobs…
The Stalls of Barchester (1971), in which a fusspot scholar finds the cathedral library that he’s supposed to be cataloguing a total bore until he gets to the personal papers of an extremely naughty archdeacon…

A Warning to the Curious (1972), in which the aforementioned fusspot scholar has an altogether more direct encounter with supernatural peril.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.
