Spoooky!

We haven't done Outer Limits for a while. There might be some repeats but oh, well. Thanks to producer Joseph Stefano for his "every episode must have a 'bear'" rule.

Netflix recently premiered, Godzilla Monster Planet, the first Godzilla anime movie. It was OK. Godzilla doesn't really show up until near the end, maybe because they have scheduled a few follow-up films and are saving him for those. So...meh. I will admit I'm not the world's biggest anime fan.

Sorry for the disappearing act. Obviously a lot of it because of B-Fest (which was terrific), but there were also a few days where I just woke up late, etc. Also, it's harder to just come up with a quick idea after 1700 of these. This was the last movie at B-Fest. These guys…

Here's how it went. I saw The Godfather in a theater last night (not a bad movie, really) so I thought, "I'll show a monster gangster" and ended up on Robert Loggia from Innocent Blood, only nearly all the stills for that movies are of Anne Parillaud nekked--a bit of an exaggeration, but not…

This guy is established enough that they're probably stuck with him. However, I doubt he's a fan favorite. Part of the problem is that they clearly wanted him to be gross, but lovable. "He's Oscar the Grouch meets Slimer!" Meh.

I watched a few Japanese commercial compilations on YouTube. It seems Japanese commercials are often a bit weirder than American commercials, and more likely to feature monsters. This fellow was designed and animated by the Shin Godzilla folks.

OK, I haven't seen this, so maybe in the movie itself this is just a guy wearing an alligator skin. However, my faith sustains me. B-Fest is next week already. Good grief.

Here's the IP that 'inspired' the upcoming Rock wants-to-be blockbuster and franchise tentpole. I mean, it's kind of crazy, right? Or is it me?

Well, this and even Meg (finally!) are supposed to come out this year. Has the new Godzillaverse actually made giant monster movies viable in the States again? We'll see, I guess. They haven't announced the budget for this, but that wolf looks a tad shoddy to me. They may have spent a lot more…
