    Is that a tentacle in your pocket, or are you glad to see me?

    Recently saw THE COLLEGE GIRL MURDERS, actually. Pretty good.

    Were any college girls murdered or did any college girls murder anyone? ;-)

    Just recently re-watched MST3K version “Teen-Age Strangler” where by the end you realize that no teenagers were strangled or alternative no teenager strangled anyone. A blue herring of a title.

    That’s Ultraman Leo; you can tell by the crazy-ass crest on his head, which is pretty unique for an Ultra. His opponent is Nova, a crazy gas-spiting alien invader. Unlike a lot of kaiju who are insane-looking because of reasons, Nova is actually based on a Japanese doll called a teru teru bozu, which is believed to bring good weather, in particular stopping or preventing rain. This is a good choice for October, seeing as how those dolls look like the ghost dolls some of you may have made as a kid out of suckers and tissue paper for Halloween.

    I can never forget Dr. Forrester’s comment on ‘Pod People’ that the movie contains neither pods nor people…

    BTW: I got my catalog from Movies Unlimited- they’re running a Halloween horror movie sale. Not sure how good the deals are but I’m looking at picking up a dozen or so. Would appreciate any advice on good ones to pick up- I think I already have most of the better ones.

    They’ve got twelve of the Puppet Master films in a collection for $13.99- are they even worth that much???

    Boy, and I really wonder if that was the best location for Red Hood kaiju to be sticking that (I assume) tentacle out from.

    I just noticed that the monster has an ascot. So, when the mask gets pulled off, is it going to be Fred underneath?

  • bgbear_rnh

    teru teru bozu aha, I knew there was something it reminded me of

  • Gamera977

    What is it with the Japanese and tentacles???

  • bgbear_rnh

    It is really painful to be hit in the tentacles.

  • The Rev.

    I’d say the first five would be worth that all together, mostly due to the second and third entries, although the other three have some fun and/or cheesy moments. However, if you can get the first five movies for less than $13.99, that’d be the way to go. Honestly, from Curse on there hasn’t been a remotely decent one produced. Admittedly, I haven’t seen the 12th, which ends the “Axis” trilogy, but with 10 being a disappointment overall and 11 managing to be a bigger disappointment, I have seen no reason to bother. I also haven’t had a chance to see the reboot, which has my interest piqued enough to give it a shot.

    It’s a cultural thing. Seriously. Hey, they said as much on Wikipedia so it must be true, right? XD

  • Gamera977

    Well, it’s twelve movies on 3 DVDs so if only the first five are good I can use the others for drink coasters ;) Thanks!!!

    I was thinking of those bop bags they made back in the ’70s.
