For the last few weeks I've been wanting to see Godzilla Final Wars, the blockbuster down the street has this little card with the poster on it, now normally there would be DVD's or tapes behind it but everytime I checked there was nothing. I asked a person at the desk about this and she said that someone had a already bought it. ("******!") I didn't ask why they kept the dumb card poster up there but thought "well eventually they might get another copy"

But today on the way home from a job interview I stopped at Hollywood video. I havn't been there for a while because my brother amassed a helluva late fee because he kept "Battlefield Earth" for a long time to make "YTMND"'s (another website)

So today I said "**** it!" and went inside to check it out. They had a copy of Final Wars in, then I looked around and saw they still had Destroy All Monsters there also. So I  rented both and finally took care of that late fee, so now I'm not afraid to go back in there.

And maybe I'll squeeze in Biolante also.

Godzilla time.

Oh man, you lucky guy.   I may watch Destroy all Monsters tonight, now.  Wish I could get final wars.

The thing I don't like about this version of DaM is the dubbing, I heard there was a better version. This version has them saying "RIGHT!" every three minutes or so.

The real question here is why your brother held onto Battlefield Earth for so long?  Does he threaten to sue you when you ask him about it?

Anyway, I've got Destroy All Monsters on DVD [yippee!], though off the top of my head I can't think if the dub had them saying right every three minutes [since I watched it with the subtitles on and just sort of zoned out]

Well not every three minutes. But I'm at the 45 minute mark and I'm up to 13. If you say it so often I begin twitching.

And the reason why my brother had Battlefield Earth for so long is because there's this website called You're the Man Now Dog.com (or just YTMND.com). At this site people will take a picture or make a little video, add caption to it and most often a sound. My brother was making YTMND's of Battlefield Earth. The sound will always repeat.

Damn the sites not working right now. Most often the YTMND's are for comidic purposes. Such as I think my brother made one of Terl forcing a rat down the hero's throat with the line "Hungry, man animal? It's lunch time!"

Don't worry he had the movie for honorable purposes. When the sites fixed I'll give you some examples.

Final Wars is the best looking one of the Godzilla movies I've seen. It does have a silly plot about the aliens and mutants, and I thought it stayed away from the monsters too long . But the time when the big guy is on the screen makes it all worth watching.

 I got it off pay per view and it was subtitled.



And you thought Trek isn't cool.

I'm scheduled to have sinus surgery on Monday morning.  So I have a week alone at home while recovering. I stocked up on cheese for the week.  Lots of claymation monsters (1933 King Kong, Mighty Joe Young), some big budget sci-fi I have been putting off, some rubber suits, and some animation.  If any of it is worth the time, I'll put in a report.  
Heck with the pain pills, I may just love them all.

Oh yeah , I also found my box of elderly MST3K videotapes.  Some might still be viewable 10 years later.  Looking forward to finding out.

Franly, what with the Peter Jackson "King Kong" remake and all, I'm suprised there's no Special Edition of "King Kong VS Godzilla"


I STILL think Godzilla was robbed of his victory...

Ed, Ego and Superego

Didn't the Japanese version end with Big Green winning?  I could be mis-remembering.  OK, times up I'm off to the doc for surgery...yay?

Nah, that a frequant missunderstanding.

No, both versions ended in a tie, but Kong was supposed to win.

HOW, i don'tr know. He's just a big ape, Godzilla is a radioactive monster.

According to IMDB: "Although fans of both Kong and Godzilla argue to this day, Toho has declared that King Kong was meant to win. Kong was much more popular than Godzilla at this time, and was the obvious choice to win audiences over."

There ya go...

I does make since that the more popular monster won, Godzilla wasn't nearly as popular back then as he is today.

But it does kind of look like a draw.
