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. Hunting knives, survival knives, pocket knives, bayonets, fishing knives, cooking knives, machetes, you can never have too many knives. To me, knives are special in a similar way that fire is … Continue reading The Machete: Not Just For Murdering Teenagers!

Kaiju Appreciations; Hedorah (commentary)
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
