Okay, today I learned that part of the traditional Japanese method of growing Shiitake mushrooms is hitting logs with hammers. Apparently they whack the logs infused with the mushrooms to "trigger" the growth of the mushrooms (apparently the theory is that the mushrooms appear when the tree falls over). I have no idea if there is any actual science behind it, but...

They even sell special Shiitake mushroom hammers. 🤯

Genau. Und die Erde ist eine Scheibe.

Great effects but an extremely tedious story in this one. My ★★½ review of The Reptile (1966) on Letterboxd: boxd.it/9odK69 #Horror #Hammer #TheReptile #Letterboxd

boxd.itA ★★½ review of The Reptile (1966)A great monster design, good production values and solid performances aren’t enough to save The Reptile from the banality of its plot. This isn't Anthony Hinds’ best work for Hammer by a long shot; his screenplay is a colonialist nightmare of an exotic curse finding its way to England and resulting in a reptilian creature killing people off. And that’s all fine enough, I suppose; it’s 1960s England and I don’t expect cultural sensitivity here. But Hinds makes the whole thing so dull that I couldn’t get into the mystery. When the titular monster shows up things pop; the makeup

Talking about dyeing with plants... Here is the easiest way to get a nice plant print on fabric. Toddler shirts with unexplainable stains made me try to put more stains on those shirts to prolong their life just a bit. I'm trying to use everything until it lasts and reuse, recycle and upcycle to last a little longer, waste less, buy less. I hate to throw out those perfectly usable shirts that just look terribly dirty because of plant, fruit and berry stains that happens in enormous amounts for kids who live outdoors whole summer long. Well, pretty plant stains put on shirts with the hammer stay pretty for about 3-4 times in the washing machine.

I was dreaming to hammer plants on a table cloth last summer, but I didn't get there. This is an easy way to get the juices of plants on textiles you aren't planning to wash too often. Doll fabrics, a tie, maybe... altar cloths?

It's also a productive way to release anger, frustration and agression. I hope you will give it a try.

The mallet I made two years ago from firewood logs is returning to its original purpose, splitting after lots of hard use.

Made a new head from green applewood. Heard somewhere it's clever to make the handle from dry and the head from green wood so the head shrinks onto the handle. We'll find out if this works. I suspect it might just crack. Or shrink away from the handle. Time will tell.

Anyways, I can whack stuff again!

A largeish wooden mallet made from two birch pieces. The handle is fine but the head is splitting apart, pieces cracked off already and the core is starting to come out of the log. It looks well worn and got a bit dirty from use.
The same handle, now without the broken head. Next to it a piece of apple log of suitable size, debarked about two thirds with an old but sharpened draw knife that lies amongst a pile of bark shavings. The whole setup is on a plank table outdoors. Hidden in the shavings is a piece of steel wedged in the crack between two planks, serving as bench dog to keep the log from sliding as the draw knife pulls on it.

A perfectly midrange Hammer adventure film. My ★★★ review of She (1965) on Letterboxd: boxd.it/9cNO4P #She #Hammer #Letterboxd

boxd.itA ★★★ review of She (1965)Man, Hammer did like casting Christopher Lee as an Egyptian, didn’t they? That criticism aside (it was a different time, though it’s still weird to see in 2025), She is a perfectly serviceable film in the Hammer repertoire. The studio may be primarily known for its horror but it delved into adventure and other genres from time to time as well, this being a notable example. While it’s not a Hammer horror film, She shares a lot of DNA with the studio’s most famous films. Perhaps most notable is its use of Lee and Peter Cushing, with the latter having

I’ve been sorting through some vintage DVD’s here, and found a funny TV series I’d totally forgotten about. “Sledge Hammer!” starring David Rasche as a mad Dirty Harry style cop.
After investigating a spate of serial murders of Elvis impersonators, the police discover yet another body and draw the obligatory chalk line round it…

A chalk line drawn on the pavement to mark the position of the body of a murdered Elvis impersonator. The chalk line is drawn in a classic Elvis dance pose, complete with hair quiff and flared trousers!

I will die on the hill that, with all due respect to Basil Rathbone & Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Cushing is the greatest Sherlock Holmes of all-time. My ★★★★ review of The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959) on Letterboxd: boxd.it/8TVHvT #SherlockHolmes #Hammer #Letterboxd

boxd.itA ★★★★ review of The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959)Hammer may be known mostly for their horror, but they also produced a number of fine films in other genres. It’s hard to deny that there is some of the studio’s horror inclinations creeping into The Hound of the Baskervilles, which is entirely unsurprising considering you have the director, lead stars, cinematographer, and composer of both The Horror of Dracula and The Curse of Frankenstein here. All that said, despite some obvious deviations from the novel this adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes story does avoid the overt gothic horror of those other two films and leans on its mystery and

I'll just say it's good that they moved away from the 1800s after this one, because that well was clearly bone dry at this point. My ★★½ review of Scars of Dracula (1970) on Letterboxd: boxd.it/8RpJ6z #Dracula #Hammer #Horror #Letterboxd

boxd.itA ★★½ review of Scars of Dracula (1970)After the fun of Taste the Blood of Dracula, the Hammer Dracula franchise drops to a new low at this point with Scars of Dracula. Poor Roy Ward Baker had a Herculean task in front of him in making something good out of this humdrum, lazy script in which Anthony Hinds couldn’t be bothered to find a new way to resurrect the titular vampire and just said, “I know, a bat bleeds onto his remains! Good enough, let’s move on.” Scars does away with any real connection to the previous films, other than Christopher Lee’s casting of course. Lee at

I'm always down for a Dracula revenge tale, even if Christopher Lee basically just counts for his dialogue. My ★★★½ review of Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970) on Letterboxd: boxd.it/8QWTcJ #Dracula #Hammer #Horror #Letterboxd

boxd.itA ★★★½ review of Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)There’s a point in the Hammer Dracula films where it became clear that the studio was out of ways to exploit the “Dracula terrorizes Transylvania” storyline and were looking outside the box for new ways to bring the vampire to the screen. Taste the Blood of Dracula largely seems to be the turning point for that. Anthony Hinds’ script for this fifth entry builds itself around the Count’s resurrection and revenge for the death of the servant who brought him back, basically flipping the script to where Dracula is the one (sort of) wronged. It's an interesting twist in the
