  3. Better than Streaming: Fire and Ice 4K Blu-ray Coming Out On June 30

    Welcome back fellow geeks, Blu-ray collectors and movie buffs!

    If you love the animated works of director Ralph Bakshi (American Pop, The Lord of The Rings) and the artworks of Frank Frazetta (Conan The Barbarian, Vampirella), then you should watch out for their memorable collaboration in ultra high-definition as the 1983 animated movie Fire and Ice will be released on 4K Blu-ray format on June 30, 2026, exclusively via MVDshop.

    Fire and Ice 4K Blu-ray cover has the same classic artwork of the official movie poster.

    With a story co-written by Bakshi and Frazetta and the screenplay done by comic book legends Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, Fire and Ice is the story of a young warrior named Larn who wants revenge against the evil queen Juliana and her son Nekron. Larn also has the task to rescue their kidnapped princess Teegra. For your interest and reference, watch the classic movie trailer below.

    I personally am interested in replaying Fire and Ice in 4K Blu-ray format. I saw Fire and Ice a few times a very long time ago on a rented video tape and on cable TV (randomly viewed it) but I never actually got to watch it entirely. Fire and Ice 4K Blu-ray is on my list of 4K Blu-ray releases of this year. I can only wonder when it would get offered via Amazon.

    As for Ralph Bakshi, I admire his works on rotoscoped animation and how he visualized his concepts. His work on The Lord of the Rings animated film of 1978 was ambitious and he made the most out of their limited resources. I own a Blu-ray copy of his animated film American Pop and watching rotoscoped animated scenes and characters move in high-definition is enjoyable.

    Fire and Ice, to the best of my memory, has a fantasy concept that reminds me somewhat of Conan The Barbarian (and the sword-and-sandals fantasy elements) and it also the traditional concept of the heroic man who risks his life to save an important woman from the forces of evil. To replay Fire and Ice in 4K is something I desire as a 4K Blu-ray collector and enthusiast of traditional animation.

    Not to be outdone is the vocal cast that has William Ostrander, Maggie Roswell, Steve Sandor, Stephen Mendel and Susan Tyrell. The performances in Fire and Ice were strong.

  5. Dziś przypada rocznica urodzin Franka Frazetty (1928–2010), legendarnego ilustratora fantasy, który odmienił wygląd mitologii popkultury. Jego wizualny język pokazał nową estetykę siły, dzikości i ruchu – szczególnie w takich pracach jak "Conan the Adventurer". (fot. Wikipedia) #FrankFrazetta #fantasy #sztuka

  7. #Iwatched #FireAndIce (1983) a film by #RalphBakshi and #FrankFrazetta. The story is so bad, you may not notice the racism. Even the animation is often sloppy. Its only redeeming quality may be seeing Frazetta's preferred body type animated in the rotoscoped form of princess Teegra. Focussing on this strength, TOP MEN have been editing the film for years, to make Teegra finally appear topless. If animated titties mean anything to you, respectfully wait until they're done. youtube.com/watch?v=5iAEDdCovA

  8. A really different book but stories by Morrison and art by the Biz is very hard to pass up. And the #horror slant to this was totally different than the old school superhero genre for me at the time.

    I mean look at this cover. So reminiscent of #FrankFrazetta.

  13. Hi!
    Perhaps a Re-#Introduction is in order since there's so many more people in this space to share stories and insights with.

    I'm an #Alchemist. I manipulate symbols and materials to effect #transformations and thus transform myself.
    My practice was revealed to me in a series of trances by an ancient #goddess who has many historical forms. Some of these are the #Kemetic goddesses known as the Eyes of Ra. She recently revealed to me that she would like me to refer to her as #Hathor. I'm not second guessing that advice.

    I'm a cis het old guy (58) happy married for 25 years. I adore women. Mostly from afar.

    Race- white, blue eyed ethnic jew.

    My technique is centered on an apparatus I built based on a design the goddess revealed. I later connected the components and operation symbolically to equipment and processes described in classic #Alchemy sources.
    I'm a non-traditional Alchemist. I don't use a forge or do metallurgy. My device is electrical and uses a type of #crystal to focus energy. It can roughly be described as a type of lamp. The picture shows the output of my process. It's called a #Violograph.

    It is commonly asserted, and I agree, that the coveted philosopher's stone refers to the practitioners themselves. As the goal of the process it is in reality the transformed person.
    This is done by separating the spirit and soul from the #body, changing them and then re-uniting them in the body again. Carl #Jung has some interesting ideas on this.

    Politically- #anarchosyndicalist and card carrying #Wobbly. I’ve been working at the same factory for 28 years.

    Other areas of interest besides the #occult are listed below.

    Music-
    I write songs, play electric #bass and #ukulele. Not famous at all.

    Philosophy:
    #Plotinus
    #HerbertSpencer (I know- cringe)
    #MaxStirner
    #Hegel
    #Heraclitus
    #Iamblichus
     
    Food: #glutenfree, I'll take what I can get. Non-celiac.

    Drink- #pinotgrigio wine spritzers mostly.
    A pinch of #weed goes a looooonnnng way. After 45 years of smoking I'm a total lightweight now that it's legal here. That's #Chicago (officially a suburb 10 miles outside city limits), btw.

    Everyone I’ve met here is awesome!
    Peace and Solidarity!
