Monster of the Day

Wood wrote a novel for Orgy of the Dead, which I need to find because, I mean, how do you turn that into a book? (So much for finding a copy; there's one on Amazon for $600. Somebody reprint that, please.) Anyway, Criswell plays Satan (aka Emperor of the Night), and Fawn Silver as…

Groan. Back to reality. Oh, well, a Monday off means a short week following, anyway. So I (surprise) didn't really do anything this long weekend, even by my modest goals. A new anime season has started, so I watched the first episodes of like 10 new shows. I actually liked nearly all of them…

Oops, woke up late and have to go. I did finish Godzilla Singular Point yesterday. I still really liked it, but I can see why some others were not as satisfied. Hopefully they get a second season and can please everyone. Anyway, more on that tomorrow. Have a great day, everyone.

Sorry to do a whole week of Godzilla Singular Point, but I'm really digging it. They are doing the Shin Godzilla thing with the Big G, with him evolving through stages. (Toho always did it's metamorphosing monsters.)  This is the first stage, barely seen. The end of Chapter 10, which I finished yesterday, introduces…

I watched a couple of more episodes of Godzilla Singular Point last night. I think I've seen it through episode 10 and it's really ramping up. Great stuff.

So I finally noticed that the new Netflix anime Godzilla Singular Point (wasn't it Godzilla Singularity at first?) has dropped sometime last week. Netflix, this is the ONE show you don't email me about? Work on your algorithm. To my vast relief, I really like it. The three anime Godzilla movies Netflix produced a…

I don't think I ever got around to posting the monsters from A Quiet Place franchise, which I think now is a franchise. I'm sure there'll be a third film because the second won did quite well, just crushing the $200 million (!!) Cruella, for instance. So good on them. I will go back…

Boy, I haven't thought about The Goon in a while. Wonderful comic. I'm not even sure it they are still doing it. But hey, in a world where readers are fleeing en masse from mainstream American comics, there's Eric Powell's awesome independent comic book, full of comedy and monsters and fun, fun violence. I…

  The writers of the original Predators script are suing to reclaim the rights to the franchise--there's some sort of time limit thing, the writer of the original Friday the 13th script has been suing for the rights for years now--although they will inevitably be crushed or bought off by Disney. Predator 5 will…

Talking about Warning from Space inevitably brought up the far more spectacle-driven Gorath, also about Earth being on a collision course with a rogue planet. That one sticks with that narrative, though, and skips the aliens and whatnot. The film is kind of obscure because it's basically Toho's crazier version of When Worlds Collide.…
