Monster of the Day #3414

Sorry for the absence; I got a bronchial bug (not Covid) and it’s been super hot here–my A/C is set for 78 degrees, and it’s running now at 4:00 AM in the pitch dark–and just generally blech.

So the next movie on the Friday before the official T(ween)-Fest was Child of Peach (1987), a crazy Momotoro film from Taiwain. It’s like Super InfraMan levels of nuts. It’s on YouTube, give it a look. Crazy fun.

    Well I was okay with missing Friday with the two movies I knew about, since I own one and did not need to rewatch the other, but now I’m sad I missed this. Luckily it sounds like I can watch it at my leisure.

    Taiwan Ronald McDonald might do better than the new Russian McDonalds replacement.

    You and the Bergmans and Jeff weren’t there, so if we do Basement Fest again next year, maybe we can schedule this.

  • Spent so much time trying to work out a Bozo quip, never once realizing how much he looks like Ronald.

    We missed it as well. Sounds like a fun Basement Fest choice.

    Now somebody just has to remember.

    McDonalds in Russia? Yeesh. Next thing you know there’s going to be a McDonalds at the base of the Great Pyramid. Can’t wait to see how they handle the mascot for that one.

    Wow. A quick Google and I just learned that there really IS a McDonalds at the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza. As well as a KFC and a Pizza Hut. Yeesh, it used to be that just walking into their tombs was enough to rouse the wrath of Ancient Egypt and get yourself throttled by a mummy. I wonder how many undead Egyptians these desecrations will raise?

    Also, there’s a McDonalds on, well nearly on, the Great Wall of China. Maybe I should be surprised they don’t have them in the labor camps.

    I will make a note not to watch it so we can do this next year.

    Wow, that’s awesome! I wonder if I can get some good tanna leaf tea at any of those????

    I watched this last night. And it’s something else. What I’m not entirely sure.

    I had suspected from watching too many return to Vietnam movies that bamboo was highly explosive. This movie just reinforced my suspicious mind that if you drop a lighted match in a bamboo hut BLAM!!!

    And I guess I’m not suited to be a villain. If I were to try cackling laughter for more than an hour or so I get a horrible sore throat. Is laughter like a maniac 24/7 a super power or can you attend a training course or something like that to learn the skill?
