It warms my heart to see/hear the songs (and movie) of Queen with Freddie. Watching them live in the 1970’s was the highlight of my concert-going experiences.

Indeed. Although, it is plausible that they may be more accustomed / attentuated (resistant?) No idea if there have been any studies of this.

Reality check: Sherpa’s don’t live on top of Everest.

Typically, their villages are below 4500m (about 15000ft) altitude. And you don’t really need extra oxygen below 8000m (about 26000 ft).

Oh, and when a Sherpa prepares the path to the summit of Everest, that Sherpa also requires extra oxygen to climb safely!

No. That is an example of being evil.

This guy is second on my list…

I remember buying this album and hating it. My favorite Queen stuff is “Best of…” because there was so much that I really didn’t like.

And an actor. Richard O’Brien has a bit part as an Arborian.

I have seen that one some 20+ years ago now. I need to hunt down a copy for a rewatch. SFX by a very young Rick Baker.

Well, when the robot in the TV series looks like a dildo, it’s an easy mistake to make.

Apparently a lot of known special effects and sci-fi folks worked on this - with a Ray Harryhausen stop motion homage.

Somehow I have never managed to not fall asleep during the 1980 Flash Gordon film. I shall have to try again.
