Monster of the Day #3027

The Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube has been on a vintage schlock run lately. In the last week they've post Fog Island (with George Zucco and Lionel Atwill), the previously mentioned They Saved Hilter's Brain, The Corpse Vanishes and Jabootu subject Invisible Ghost (probably the daffiest of the Lugosi poverty row pics), Bride…

Spring T-Fest cancelled….

No big surprise here, although it's sad news (admittedly, in a small beer sort of way considering the larger picture) considering we haven't skipped a fest since we started doing this going on 20 years now. While sitting on my ass all day alone and watching anime is no hardship to me--indeed, it's largely…

I'm heading down to Kentucky to visit with family, so everyone have a good week-ish. I'll be back on Thursday (although hopefully I'll be sleeping in that first morning.)

There are some literally world-level talents working at KyoAni,…

Godzilla King of the Monsters off the hook…

Godzilla King of the Monsters is officially off the summer’s box office failure list. This is both by dint of having basically broken even at the worldwide box office, as well as having its shortcomings obscure by far more grandiose bombs like Dark Phoenix and Men in Black International. Godzilla KOTM can now be…

Monday Post-Weekend Open Thread…

As is my wont now, I basically watch anime. I watched weekly chapters of slight but enjoyable shows like Anima Yell (a cutsie but fan-service free show about a young cheerleading squad) to the hilarious and occasionally awesome action sumo show Hinomaru Sumo. We're heading towards the end of the fall season--winter is the…
