Alaskan killer bigfoot tv series review.

 

 A new bigfoot series started this week Alaskan killer bigfoot. Three Alaskan locals return to the vilage of Portlock Alaska.  The village was abandoned in 1950 after a series of unexplained deaths, many blamed on bigfoot (known locally as Nantinaq) the idea is to see if it's safe to reinhabit the village for the growing community.

 Well where do I start!  First the three locals are all scared witless (not a big leap for them) by the ledgends and what they've been told by their village elders, every sound, every creak of a tree is Nantinaq coming to kill them, run away time.  Then theres the bear guard the elders have sent to protect them (we'll come back to this point later) he's frankly not much less scared than the "heros" but he's not scared enough to give the rest of them bear spray.... until the second day, good job the bear didn't show up on day one then!

 He's also not scared enough to actually carry his rifle all the time, and mostly when he is carrying it it's slung over his shoulder.  Back in my army days a sling wasn't allowed on a rifle, it had to be in your hand or arms reach away, you cant shoot something with your shoulder, and the few seconds it takes to get the rifle off could be your last.

 This suggests two things, either he's a total moron (I've not ruled that out yet) or he knows theres fuck all there to be scared of in the first place and all the bullshit noises and crap is the crew.

 Then theres the fake drama shit like all the bigfoot programs, "whats that noise", a knock,  panic, something moving in the trees as the camera looses focus... for the first time... supprise supprise!

 Then we come back to the team of heros selected to return and map out the old village and see if it's safe (this is the bit I mentioned returning to)...  Now lets see, we're sending three men to face a possible deadly killer bigfoot, lets pick three experienced woodsmen and hunters armed to the teeth with huge guns and bowie knives... or we could just send the three stooges unarmed with a joking bear guard.  Yeah that'll do it  So they all die, it'll make great a telly program, bit of a bitch for their families but who gives a shit as long as the tv company make a ton of money selling this crap.

 So will they all die?, will they map the village and come home heros?, will they find Nantinaq?, will they fuck!  This lot couldn't find a ladder in a suitcase.

Waynes rating   1/10 (it's really that bad)  I watch this so you don't have to, please send me a medal.

Real screams in the night and new bigfoot tv series... (more luminate pics coming soon)

  Back on June the 16th in my post titled big footsteps I recounted a story of screams in my local woods.

 Well fast forward to this week and I have a similar but different experience.

 I'm nearly home, just passing whats called locally as the dark woods (name explained in the june 16th post) and I hear quite loud scrams from the woods.  Now these are nowhere near as loud as the ones I heard back in june, those I could here in my kitchen, but they are proper screams and it's clearly an animal of some sort in trouble.

 Those of you who follow the blog know I always carry a torch (I'm Wayne and I'm a torch-aholic) So out comes the small torch, maybe torch isn't really the right word, it's more a collapsed star brightness wise, I hit the button and into the woods I go.

 Now to be fair I'm not really worried, I live in Britain and we don't have bears or much in the way of dangerous animals, ok there was a puma reported spotted on the hills behind the woods years back, the local police even tried to shoot it but missed, but apart from being attacked by a badger (and thats not exactly a big risk) I'm pretty safe.  Besides which it's like daylight in the woods now with the torch on.

 Into the woods I go, I have to go in quite a way as the screams are a lot further in than last time.  Plus they stop evey now and then so I have to wait for them to restart to find them. Eventually after a hundred yards or so so in I narrow down the location.  It's up in the bloody trees!  Great I can't see bugger all up there, theres enough branches and still plenty of leaves to block my view even with 200 trillon candle power smoking in my hand.   

Well at least it's not foxes, owls is my guess, theres a lot of them around where I live, I hear them all the time hooting.  Now I mentioned earlier theres nothing dangerious (much) in my area, owls are different, mess with them and they'll rip you to pieces. Normally they wont bother you, start trying to tickle one and you'll never play the violin again.

 

 Now the new bigfoot series, Alaskan Killer bigfoot started I think last night, now I have two episodes to watch so I can't tell you anything much yet, except.....  it's probably going to be awful. For some reason no tv company can make a proper series about bigfoot, some say theres a conspiricy to stop people taking the very real bigfoot seriously, some say bigfoot doesn't exist in the first place.  More likely tv companys are too lazy and inept to do it properly.

 Factor in the lack of bugger all really happening for ages and they start adding fake drama to make a bunch of twits in the woods more exciting.  Maybe  I'm wrong and this series is the best ever made.... I'll let you know tomorrow!

Luminate Margam park 2021 (part one)

 

 Well went to see the Luminate display at Margam park and to be fair it was a lot better then I expected. Got some nice pics, but missed out on the mulled wine at £4.50 a go... you can buy a bottle of wine for that!

 This is the first batch, I've only done a few as it's late and I'm shattered and have another long day tomorrow.  All shot hand held.
