Monster of the Day #3388

Am I high, or this is very familiar? I'm thinking it's a repainted sci-fi skin of a Man's Adventure cover (I mean, look at the native) with a guy fighting an upright komodo dragon or somesuch. My memory isn't the best, but the guy's face in the helmet certainly looks like it might have…

Groan…

Imgur is "over capacity" so I can't pull the MotD right now, and I have to leave for work. I'll put it up after work today, I guess. Sorry, folks. Still, feel free to use this space to discuss anything you've seen this weekend, or...whatever really. Later, chums.

Fun ’80s horror movie series on YouTube….

The Movie Timelines channel is doing The '80s Project, a thing where the host is watching *all* the horror movies released in the '80s. At first I assumed he meant just the theatrically released ones (alone a massive task), but now I'm not sure if he's not including released on video ones, which is…

TV, Bofuri on sale on Amazon….

Amazon has a lot of complete series TV shows and anime on sale right now. Bofuri is now only $30 (for 12 episodes, so about four hours of content), 54% off. I just ordered the Blu Ray set of the entire Mission: Impossible show. That was pricer ($67 vs $48 for the DVD set),…

Pulp covers! Neat! Cover story by the well known German author Manly Wade Wellman. One thing that is very evident about the German sci-fi pulps is that they are *much* less likely to incorporate a sexy female on the cover. I guess in a country that had actual porn you didn't need that sort…

Monster of the Day #3385

So, back to German pulp covers. I looked at Chad R's list of everything we watched on T-Fest weekend and realized we barely watched anything with a monster it. It wouldn't be until Monday night, after like 10 more movies, that we showed Ship of Monsters for those who hadn't seen it. And I've…

Monster of the Day #3384

Following La Marca del Muertos we watched Wheels of Fire, a pretty generic Italian post-apocalypse rip-off of Mad Max, of which they made like a million. This one was fine, although really, these things sort of run together. There's some cars with welded on armor, guns with weirdly lots of ammo, dubbing, still acting,…

Monster of the Day #3383

Wow, already a week plus since T(ween) Fest 14. As veteran readers--i.e., all of you--will have gleaned by now, we start watching movies before the actual Saturday fest. We didn't watch anything in Houston this year, but as soon as we hit Dallas on the Fest eve the films started. The first was the…
