(Ignore: Dumb Anime Stuff) I’m Happy

So I spent a decent portion of the last week rewatching most of the Girls und Panzer anime franchise. This includes the (only) original season of that show that kicked things off like ten years ago, the OVAs (six shorter episodes produced later that cover a weird variety of tones and topics, the best…

Monster of the Day #3323

  Well, Monsters of the Day. You can fight them! Coooool. In case I oversleep tomorrow (since I won't be at work), and don't get a MotD up, Happy New Year everyone!

Monster of the Day #3322

I'm pretty sure I bought a collection of Universal Monster plushies many years ago and handed them out to my old library friends at our annual Halloween party. Sadly, there were none left over. On the other hand, right now I'm looking at the fantastic Blacula bobble head Galaxy Jane gave me. We miss…

So...could Cthulhu destroy Ro-Man, or rather the Ro-Men? It's harder to say than you might think. After all, a single Ro-Man (effectively) destroyed the entire human race. He survived direct hits from atomic bombs as he routed the planet. And there's an entire race of them up on the moon. Or was it Mars?…

Monster of the Day #3320

This is GalaxyJane's dog cat (thanks, BC!) hanging out with what our elite demographic recognizes as a genuine celebrity. And yes, I am doxxing GJ's dog for clicks. That's how you make that big Internet money. These are clicks, right? I'm not really up on this social media stuff. My main question: Is that…

Monster of the Day #3318

I just told this anecdote, but it bears repeating. I was in Texas and mulling how dumb the characters in Ghosthouse were. As Sandy was right there, I asked for his opinion on the matter: Was there ever a movie with a dumber set of characters than the ones in Ghosthouse. He briefly considered…

Robowar. Bruno Mattei movies are often accused of ripping off other film. Well, I don't see anything here that makes me think of any other film.

Monster of the Day #3316

So...I looked for a still from Deep Blood, but the entertaining mock shark they built for the film is generally shrouded in murk, so as to keep us from getting very good looks at it. Booooo! Also, they cut in a lot of live footage of various other sharks, all meant to represent this…

Monster of the Day #3315

I mentioned Undying Monster this weekend, as I'd just bought the Kino Lorber Blu Ray. So this post is a complete troll, because this is basically all the wolfman action you get in the film. If you watch it as an Old Dark House movie, it's fine, but as a werewolf movie it's more…
