The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 230
Great volcano! Another weekend, another time for retro movie rundown!
With the trees blowing and the tops of puddles shuffling, the cold winter winds are finally here. Braving the elements, we'll grab our trusty, if not sometimes tangled kite and head for the hills. With a might leap, we'll throw our plastic hero up into the... well not clouds but pretty high. Tugging at the lifeline of string, we'll watch our kite dance, duck and dive in the air before stopping to capture this moment forever on celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Crisps and dips! It's Retro Movie Rundown O'Clock!
So with an entire weekend of classic movie goodness topped with some more modern releases icing, we find ourselves once again stashing up on all the essentials needed to complete our movie mission; milk in the fridge (for cereal and tea making abilities), big soft duvet, chocolate for obvious reasons and of course a whoooooole bunch of time and quiet....which is usually where things fall apart. With all these things in place, it's time to draw the curtains, unplug the phone (is that still a thing?) and dive into the weekends movies! See you there.
Have a happy retro weekend!

TruffleShuffle's Top 'Movie Logic' Moments.
So we love movies..... mean we REALLY love movies! We have the simply amazing pleasure to talk about movies each and every day amongst ourselves and with all you guys on our social media pages and profiles and we still never tire of them. Whether it's reminiscing about the films we watched growing up (and still watch of course) or perhaps the films that are being released now or in the future, getting our fill of film goodness is part of the job when we've tasked ourselves with providing some of THEEE best movie merchandise online. It's a chore... we know!
As much as we do love films (have we mentioned?), there are plenty of things about them which seem weirdly so much not like actual life. Naturally dramatic effect and creative inspiration are some of the best parts of any film, however some things have perhaps been around the block a few times and have become... well... expected even when they don't really make any sense.
So! To highlight some of these little things we've noticed over our years, we put together some of our favourite 'Movie Logic' moments. Enjoy!

Chunk! Chunk! Chunk! as they light up the giant open space in sequence. We have a warehouse and sadly this just doesn't happen, no matter how hard we try. They all turn on at one with perhaps a very slight hum. Booooooring!
