Comment on Extra Kaiju: Godzilla Wins the Lifetime Achievement Award. by siskita

I love the sense of humor that Gojira and his/her/it’s creators have about the genre. I also like the revamp of Gojira and Gamera in the more recent past, making them serious badasses again.

Pete & I went to a screening at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood of “Gojira” the ORIGINAL without the Raymond Burr additions, in Japanese/subtitled, with the man who originally wore the suit in the movie there. He was in his 80’s, tiny in stature, but still remembered the shoot and was able to Q&A after. Got his signature on a Gojira 11×17 poster, a prized possession of ours.

Pete & I did a marathon of all the movies we had copies of (about 15?) one day – we should do the same for Gamera as well.

In the MST3K episode of this, Ebirah spikes two people and Crow quips “Ka-Bob and Ka-Steve!”

Love Ebirah!

Yes, the Killer Shrews!

The rest? Oh my WORD. Abyssmally hilarious, I’m sorry. XD

The rubber sheep thing (Godmonster?) sort of reminded me of a sickly capybara.

These are terrific.

Comment on The Man Who Owns the Blob. by Smits

I LOVE “The Blob”. One of those odd guilty pleasures of mine, though I’m still not quite sure why.

Honestly, until I saw it again on TCM recently, I had no idea that the Blob itself was silicone. I thought for sure it was Jell-O. I’m amazed that silicone has lasted so long. Wes Shank must be taking good care of it. ~~Maybe feeding it some harsh critics~~ XD

I like that the Blob song was co-written by Burt Bacharach. That makes me smile.

I’ll be honest–I haven’t seen any of the sequels, though I’ve seen the 1988 remake. It’s…eh. It’s unnecessarily violently 80s. I still prefer the original.

I did hear that Rob Zombie is planning another remake, but that the Blob won’t be a blob. If that’s true, how can it even be called “The Blob”?!? If it ain’t broke…

Excellent! I hope this guy sings professionally…he’s got skills (no joke).

But why shirtless with the monkey? Love the drum solo…
