Monster of the Day #3351

Revenge of the Nerds. I had sponsored X the Unknown for B-Fest. You submit five titles, and they get the first one that's available. As a bonus to me, someone else sponsored one of my other picks. Who doesn't love Fiend Without a Face? Great movie with one of the absolute best payoffs of…

Monster of the Day #3350

Next up, circa 1:30 AM, was The Children. I guess the film it's closest to in tone is Incredible Melting Man, although for some reason, it doesn't seem as mean-spirited. Which is weird, because it's pretty brutal. I guess it comes off more as goofy than mean. A school bus drive through a radioactive…

Monster of the Day #3349

The midnight movie at B-Fest, as usual, was Plan 9. As usual (having seen it literally like 50 times), I tried to nap through it.  As always, the scariest thing about Plan 9 is Vampira's tiny tiny waist. Yikes!

Monster of the Day #3348

After the too arty Big Man Japan, we got a horrible arty short with...mimes. This was called The Adventure (2008). The really terrible part, because my shtick at B-Fest is that I don't look at the schedule, is that I didn't know if it were a short or a feature. A feature about mimes…

Monster of the Day #3347

Hello, folks. Still a little fuzzy headed. Normally I take a day off after the B-Fest week to rest up and get my head on straight, but now that we're doing Basement Fest THIS weekend (and in many ways it's a larger event than B-Fest, at least as far as I'm concerned), I can't…

Monster of the Day #3346 (and bitch session)

Man, that is just a bunch of disconnected Stuff right there, but what stuff!!!! Happy Thursday, everyone. This is B-Fest weekend, so I might not be here tomorrow. Just in case, have a terrific weekend, one and all, and watch something stupid. I know I will do so. Went to see the Kaguya-Sama anime…

Bad news for Bofuri season 2 (for those that care)

Covid is still running rampant in Japan, and certainly in anime productions houses. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that upwards of a third of all this season's currently running shows have by now announced delays. I imagine the insanely tight production schedules of the anime industry is as much part of…

Monster of the Day #3343

For those asking, Where's the monster?, I'll quote Mike Nelson: "Oh, it's a regular cat." T-Rex's stand upright, the Titanic went down in one piece and skeletons are one unit that stay together. Shut up.
