Radio Times

Off down to BBC Scotland for a short time this afternoon to do a quick spot on the Movie Cafe, alongside historian Mark Jardine, talking about the resurgence in the big, tough hero again as Solomon Kane hits cinemas and another Robert E Howard creation, Conan, is heading back to cinemas too; show is available for a few days on the Listen Again feature.

  1. I hadn't come across Solomon Kane before: judging from the comments made during your spot on the Movie Cafe, it sounds as though Gemmell's Jon Shannow owes a fair bit to him.

    "There was no straightforward, unabashed movie hero in mainstream American cinema between John Wayne and Russell Crowe in 'Gladiator'." Discuss.

  2. Lovely blog!

    A while ago, I copied a blogging meme off Woolamaloo. I just reposted it today--now can't find it again here. I think it was from 2006.
    At any rate, thanks for it--of course I live-linked to you.

    In blogland, things never die...
