Monster of the Day

I really wanted to see Godzilla vs Kong before I left for Texas, so that if people mentioned it I wouldn't be the guy frantically shushing them because I hadn't seen it yet. It was pretty good, but frustrating because with a little work it could have been much better. Just a little tweaking…

Sorry for the blurry photo, there are weirdly few good still of this statue. Still, I think you get a sense of how cool it is. It's pretty massive, too, maybe 16 to 18 inches tall. I used to have it on my desk at the library, since that is in a secure room.…

  This again is sitting around my house somewhere, unopened. It's a very traditional Abomination from the Hulk comics. I never got the opposing Hulk figure; Bowen statues (this is about 18 inches tall, a pretty hefty size) sell out pretty quickly. On the other hand, they will never lose value and you can…

  I mean, that art is fabulous, but man, you just can't make that suit look non-goofy. I saw the Demon Slayer movie last night, and it was great. I'll probably see it again, just for the novelty of seeing movies in theaters again. When I first came in, though, mine was literally the…

"Schnelle, Heinrich, der Flit!" This is a better poster, but it didn't go with the joke. Audiences of the time must have been pretty shocked when the monster showed up. Finally getting to see the Demon Slayer movie tonight, I'm very excited.

This one is no surprise to poster vets, as Germany seems to call *any* monster Frankenstein. Ironically, of course, since Frankenstein isn't even the name of a monster.  The craziness of the image indicates this is the Japanese poster with a new frame put around. It's a nice frame, though.

France clearly took it's giant monster movies very seriously. For instance, they obviously wanted to be certain that prospective ticket buyers wouldn't think Gorgo was that guy in the green jacket in the foreground.

So I spend the weekend re-watching Demon Slayer on Netflix because, yay, the movie is finally hitting theaters next weekend. I had pre-bought a ticket, but it looks like that might have been for a dubbed showing, so I'll have to cancel that and buy for one of the subtitled showings. I'm very excited.…

Yay, Friday! Two weeks to T-Fest! See some of you in Dallas. This is pretty great. However, the question is, do you make the monsters look like the filmmakers wanted them to look (as they do here), or really reflect the dogs in obvious masks look the film actually provides. I'd probably go with…
