389. Ultraman 28 and 29- of Dada and Goldon!

           Dada is an invasive invader, don't feel sorry for them.  Instead, save your sympathy for the Goldons.

SOS Dada! (Ultraman ep. 28)

 It is amazing how much information can be found in clear copies of television shows and movies.  In the olden days of VHS tape trading, I never noticed this message before.  It was because even the best versions of Ultraman were a generation or two removed from the originals.  The picture was just too murky.  Now thanks to Blu Ray or even DVDs, you can see all sorts of things you missed back then, which is a really nice thing.  The details you can see in the monster costumes is amazing as well.

388. Jack and the Witch (1967) review

          What a wild and wacky cartoon this is!  I am glad to be able to view this print, I must say.

HOTW- Mr. Scarlet

 

From Wiki- Mr. Scarlet is district attorney Brian Butler, who along with his adopted son Pinky the Whiz Kid, fought evil in his city for several years. His success was such that his employment was frequently in jeopardy due to a lack of crime.^[3] As a result throughout his series, he took up several odd jobs to supplement his family's income. He used inventive devices to help him apprehend criminals, and had great acrobatic and hand-to-hand combatant skills.^[4]  In his first appearance in Wow Comics #1, Brian was based in Gotham City. This may be the first use of the name of this city in comics. Later retcons established Mr. Scarlet's base in either New York City or Fawcett City.^[5].  The heroes tangle with a wide variety of villains, including the sinister Death Battalion, who plan the assassinations of top government officials. The Battalion's members include Dr. Death, the Ghost, the Horned Hood, the Black Thorn, the Black Clown, the Laughing Skull, and their leader known as "the Brain" is actually the warden of El Catraz prison.^[6]  Back to me:

387. King Kong vs Godzilla (1962) US version review!

              This movie was a first for me- first Godzilla, first King Kong and first giant octopus!

Adam Ant - Strip

                   This is from Adam second solo LP, called "Strip"- imagine that.

386. Captain America 07: Cap battles the Adaptoid!

                 Cap fights Amazo, I mean, the Super-Adaptoid!  It is a pretty straightforward adaptation of the Tales of Suspense series, minus some thoughtful commentary on humanity.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday - 12-19-1985

Now this is something I never did to the yard.  We did once make a water trap, but our "cover" was strong enough to support the never appearing victim.

385. The Giant Behemoth, the Sea Monster of 1959!

              A rather underrated monsters movie is examined here!  We love the Paleosaurus!

Trailer title cards

 

Ever notice that many of the move title cards on trailers are better than the actual onscreen title?  This happened with Atragon as well, since I have reviewed both of them recently (well, The Giant Behemoth is coming out later today).  This is a much cooler looking title that what appears onscreen.  Even Behemoth, The Sea Monster has a better title card.  This happens a lot more these days, as movies barely have titles, or are placed at the end of the film.  What the heck is that?  What genius thought that was ever a good idea?
