When kaiju movies go horribly wrong!
A*P*E from 1976. A South Korean-US co-production “King Kong” rip-off that was made to cash it on the 1976 remake of King Kong.
Also known as “Super King Kong”, “Hideous Mutant”, “The Great Counterattack of King Kong”, “King Kong Returns” and “Attack of the Giant Horny Gorilla”.
So bad it is hilarious!
The Anchor Bay survivors from my VHS collection. I could never truly replace them
With the exception of the “Dawn of the Dead” gatefold slip case, the rest are from Anchor Bay’s clam shell VHS collection. All of them brought me so much joy and enrichment in an otherwise bland and boring existence.
“Rawhead Rex”
Based on a short story by Clive Barker.
A monstrous pagan god is loosed when a neolithic stone that held him prisoner is moved. The creature goes on a killing spree to reclaim that which was his.
Clive Barker has expressed a desire to make another attempt to adapt this story, as he was not happy with the final film. Mostly the look of the monster.
I saw this on television when I was about 8 or so. It scared the living hell out of me.
I just watched “Equestria Girls” for the first time… That movie was AMAZING.
I admit that I did not have a high hopes for it. But in a way, that was a good thing. It was like the first time I watched the show. I had no illusion of how it would be but it blew me away.
I know a lot of people were against it when it was first announced but just give it a chance like I did. You will not be disappointed. I am now going to buy my own copy and watch it at least once a week every day until I die.
And for those who think I have gone soft, I am going to order it with “Manhattan Baby” and “Aenigma” so I can get the free shipping.
I just found out that “Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut” is finally getting a DVD release Shout Factory. I saw this film at Mad Monster Party in Charlotte back last year. It was the first time I had seen the film in any cut and it changed my life. It is one of the best horror films I have ever seen. It won’t be until next year, but I am still super excited!
Things really sucked for a while because on Thursday at some point I lost a $50 bill. I have no idea where the fucker is, I practically tore my apartment apart trying to find it. It is not the end of the world but I could have bought a lot of food and it made me feel really shitty.
I did manage to go see “Pacific Rim” and it was awesome. When the first kaiju appears and destroys the Golden Gate bridge, I actually felt like a kid again watching my first Godzilla movie. It was an excellent film.
I text’d hunter afterward and we geek’d out over it. She also said that she was going to visit sometime soon. That is always fantastic. She had to cancel her last visit because of Father’s Day and ever since then my mom keeps asking “When is Hunter coming to visit you?!” I just tell her when she feels ready too, I don’t want to push the issue. She called last night and ask for the 100th time and I told her point blank that I did not know and neither did Hunter and I would gladly inform her when she did. I got a little annoyed.
Anyway, she also told me that she is going to BronyCon and will bring me some treasure from it. It is in Baltimore and I have no money to attend. Hopefully she will bring me something cool. When she when to FWA she brought me some kick ass pony badges. I still have them hanging in my room.
Once I pay rent and tuition it will take me some time to work and recover. I should also have my pistol paid off by then. Once again, that missing 50 spot could really come in handy. But once I get my nursing degree, I can afford to do things like go to conventions and commission art. Maybe afford some of the finer things in life instead of scraping my pennies together in the hope of buying a $15 box fan at Big Lots.
I have it worked out though. My landlord is pretty friendly with me. If I ask her to delay my rent until the 15th then I can pay both and not starve for most of the month of August.
Speaking of which, my birthday is the 15th. I feel old. So very old.
