Godzilla Takes a Stand for Fatherhood
I think it's heartwarming to see big celebrities using their fame to promote genuinely worthwhile causes like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr80JuDDHi4 Always knew the Big G was a class act! By the way, that's Tom Selleck doing the voice over.
How to Intimidate a Bear
So, this guy was out in the wild when he found himself an object of interest from a most unwelcome party: a large brown bear. With neither a gun nor bear spray, and with Baloo coming closer and smacking his lips, he resorted to an alternative means of self-defense. It's pretty awesome. And not at … Continue reading How to Intimidate a Bear
A Plug for Tom Stranger
I really love the work of Larry Correia, New York Times Bestselling Author, endlessly amusing and interesting blogger, International Lord of Hate, and man mountain. I first became familiar with him after stumbling across his opinion on gun control (summary: he has certain reservations about it). His Grimnoir Chronicles are some of my favorite recent … Continue reading A Plug for Tom Stranger
The Machete: Not Just For Murdering Teenagers!
You probably should know that I’m something of knife-nut. I love knives! If I had the money, I would fill my apartment with knives.

To me, knives are special in a similar way that fire is … Continue reading The Machete: Not Just For Murdering Teenagers!

So, my next Kaiju Appreciation turned out to be Hedorah, the Smog Monster. It's a little surprising, since Hedorah is one of those characters that I tend to forget about, despite his comparative popularity. Probably because he's only really in one movie, and it's one of the worst of the series (his only other appearance … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Hedorah (commentary)
Happy Friday the 13th
Happy Friday the 13th everyone! And you all know what that means: National Happy Campers' Day! Allow Mr. Alice Cooper to provide a delightful holiday anthem for this festive day.
Kaiju Appreciations; Iris (Commentary)
Wow, that footage is grainy. And dig the 'Unregistered Hypercam' notice in the upper left. My very first appreciation actually features someone from the Gamera series. I like Gamera, though he doesn't grab me as much as Godzilla. Hailing from Gamera III: Revenge of Iris, the third film in the brilliant Gamera trilogy from the nineties, Iris … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations; Iris (Commentary)
Kaiju Appreciations Commentary
I'm a massive Godzilla fan. I'd call myself a fan of a lot of different things, but by far the one that is closest to my heart is Godzilla. As a matter of fact, Godzilla was what got me interested in film. I started out loving the Godzilla series, and that led me to look … Continue reading Kaiju Appreciations Commentary
