Smog monster or not, at two inches tall he's basically adorable.

I'd give most anything..

I'm just spreading Dylan's message.

Cool Things I Recently Purchased : Part 4

That's right.

It's a tiny, vinyl Jet Jaguar!

One of my many purchases from NY's Toy Tokyo.

There it is, get it!

The world must have been turned topsy-turvy (a hyphenated word I absolutely love), because both April and Sean have updated their respective blarghs.
I really enjoyed both of their posts, and you might too, so go check it out.

In reference to my previous post about watching Godzilla : Final Wars last night, I had to try to explain Godzilla and his inherent and total dominance in the field of awesomeness to April.
I was amazed to find she was not aware of Capital G's greatness.
Even more amazing though, was that she didn't know anything about Godzilla besides that he was from Japan and she could pick him out of a line-up.
At one point during the opening credits he let loose with a blast of his patented Atomic-Breath which elicited a confused and incredulous "WTF" from April.
I had to explain to her that Godzilla is like the Superman of monsters.. in that he's the best.
To which she replied, "Couldn't you also say he's the worst, then?"

I was hellbent...

I saw Godzilla : Final Wars again last night, and in celebration of this I'm reposting my musings on the flick from my inital viewing way back in February 2006.

Enjoy!



Other notes while watching Godzilla : Final Wars....

- Monster X is one of the best giant monster designs I've seen in a long time.
- Gigan v2.0 may very well be the worst monster design/redesign ever.
- Mothra is really fast, but quite vulnerable.
- Anguirus makes a great soccer ball, and the G-Man is quite a goalie.
- Ebirah learned quite harshly that Godzilla is not a fan of seafood.
- Godzilla has similar feelings towards pollution. Poor Hedorah.
- Zilla (or G.I.N.O. as some people call him) looked great. Toho can do some mighty fine CGI.
- King Seesar is as cute as a puppy sometimes.
- Though it was neat to see King Ghidorah, I hated how he ended up in the movie. As an aside, I think it's ridiculous that KG is one of Godzilla's most powerful foes.
- Mothra ain't going out like no punk ass bitch.
- I hadn't really been familiar with Manda before this flick, but I feel like he/she/it should be much more popular in Japan.
- Almost every scene that doesn't feature a giant monster is completely worthless to me.

In conclusion, Godzilla : Final Wars was awesome!
