#Harald Handfaste

[whitewaterpaper]

Månades urval lider av decemberfrossa, så det är lite färre filmer än vanligt.

Den Svarta Katten / Black Cat, the (1934) [🆓] Mmm. Bela Lugosi vs. Boris Karloff, inte genial med klart sevärd. Tack SVT!

Die Hard (1988) [__] Har nog sett den här i ungdomen, men mindes i princip bara slutskämtet. Okej, står pall för tiden tand.

Gift of Love: A Christmas Story, the (1983) [👎🆓🛑] Angela Lansbury och Polly Holliday gör båda bra roller, men filmen är i övrigt intetsägande och sentimentalt dravel.

Harald Handfaste (1947) [👍🔁]

Pang i Bygget (1965) [🆓] Lill-Babs och Thore Skogman. Charmig liten film svår att inte tycka om.

Rosa Pantern, den / Pink Panther, the (1963) [👎] Har säkert sett den som barn. Överreklamerad.

Sinbad and the Caliph of Baghdad / Simbad e il califfo di Bagdad (1973) [🆓] Sinbad utan förstärkning av Harryhausen, går det... Italienarna gör ett godkänt försök.

Super Mario Bros. Filmen / Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) [👍] Det som roar mig mest är spåren till filmen från 1993 man skönjer.

Wonka (2023) [👍] Jag har sett 4D-bio! Vet inte hur mycket det bidrog till själva filmen (som inte krävde 3D-glasögon f.ö.) men filmen är faktiskt riktigt bra.

Zorro (1975) [🔁🆓]

Det är väl värt att ögna igenom SVT Plays filmutbud denna månad. Om än att någon film säker försvann vid månadsskiftet. T.ex. Pang i Bygget som var lite av en överraskning.

preliminary results of my "So what do YOU want to see in Vikings Valhalla fanworks" poll so far:

Canute x Emma |

Canute x reader insert |

Godwin x OC |

Harald x Freydis |||

Harald x OC |

Harald x reader insert |

Leif x Liv ||

Liv x Greenlanders polyship |

@ritual-unions-gotme also said I like the tension between Viking x Saxon so anytime I can get that in any romantic pairing I’m there

My non-shippy notes:

Svend and Canute seem to have an interesting relationship and we never see them on screen together. They have a long history of raiding England before the story starts - what did that look like?

Backstory for Aelfgifu and Canute. I've done a tiny bit of this already, but something from her perspective could be cool.

Godwin and Aelfgifu have a little bit of sexual tension and I think it would be highly entertaining to have Canute call that out when he gets home. (He knows who he handfasted.)
