Monster of the Day

Sandy wanted to watch something from his complete set of Al Adamson movies (seriously, that's a thing, and might well be the most comprehensive blu ray set dedicated to any single director). To limit the damage I suggested Blood of the Horror Mons...wait...Monsters of the Blood Horr...no...Horror of the Blood Monsters? Yes, I think…

Second up was Hapkido, an Angelo Mao martial arts dealie where her two costars were a young Sammo Hung and Carter Wong. How's that for an all-star cast? It was pretty great. The small boutique blu ray companies (Arrow, Shout Factory, etc.) have been flooding the market lately with wonderful sets and/or special editions…

So...I never got to T-Fest. I should start with all the stuff we watched on Thursday and Friday, but I don't have time before work. So I'll get back to it. Meanwhile, we started the official line-up on Saturday, per usual. Sandy was going to show Hammer's Shadow of the Cat, but his blu…

Halloween on the horizon! What are your plans? I'm seeing the musical Little Shop of Horrors on the big screen this week, and on Halloween night (although only because that's the subtitled showing on the biggest screen) I'll be seeing Spirited Away. 'Also my old library crew will be resuming our annual Halloween party,…

Did I show this one before? I mean, Doc Savage and a "feathered" Octopus? Maybe, but heck, it's Doc Savage and an octopus. I have to say, James Bama's version of Doc is so iconic now that that old pulp version never looks right to me. Watch Party tomorrow night, chums. Happy Friday Eve.

Space Octopus! Nice. Happy Wednesday, everyone. Watch Party on Friday.

Whew, still in a bit of a fog from being in Texas for a week and then immediately coming back and hanging out all weekend with a bunch of people in town for a friend's mom's 80th birthday. It was all great, but I am wrecked. Coming home tonight and falling into a coma,…

Groan. OK, reality reasserts itself, and back to a full work week. I still have (no exaggeration) a good 30 to forty new anime episodes to catch up on, since I was in Texas when over 50 shows premiered, and now another week has gone by. My friend Jeff and many others were in…

All right, by tonight I'll be in Dallas...well, Rockwall. Off to the airport later this morning. For everyone who can't attend the 19th (!) annual T-Fest, join us in spirit. Watch something stupid this weekend. As noted, the next Watch Party got pushed back to two weeks from tomorrow. It turns out I'll have…

It's true, you can't be too rich or too thin. Heading to Texas tomorrow. Hope to see some of you there. However, Watch Party night delayed again. My old friend Jeff is in town that weekend and will be staying at my place. So...two weeks from Friday, I guess. Feel free to watch party…
