MOSAIC

 Something new! KAIJU MOSAIC!

MechaGodzilla 2 takes a stroll in DTLA (revised)

 This is what happens when kaiju insist on going to the latest trendy restaurant in DTLA. They take up all the outdoor dining space.

(DISCLAIMER: This is the second time around for this one. We added the helicopter to fill in the empty space up there.)

 

 

 

 

WE'RE BACK.

 

Yes, it's been a long time, but we're back. More images to come, soon.

Red carpet bonus: Shodaigoji

A special one from the red carpet shoot for you guys: shodaigoji '54, looking pretty badass in charcoal gray! It just goes to show how serious a movie Gojira was when it came out. Little wonder that this guy's career took off like it did.

A buddy pic with John Stamos could be a huge hit, don't you think? Or maybe Maisie Williams?

Kaiju on the red carpet!

WOW...looks like somebody in L.A. is holding red carpet events, even in spite of the virus-fueled entertainment lockdown. A bunch of our favorite kaiju recently hit the step-and-repeat for a promotional event for this blog, somewhere in Hollywood! It was great to see Godzilla '54, Gamera, Moguera and even unexpected guest Lunamaria from "Gundam Seed" make it down. Here's a sampling from the carpet:

 

Shodaigoji and Kingugoji getting all chummy.

Gaiking, looking pretty badass in the new armor.

King Ghidorah.

Mechagodzilla head shot.

Kingugoji reacting to fans. He looks to be having a good time.

Gamera, the Guardian of the Carpet.

Shodaigoji, not looking happy at this photographer.

Moguera.

Lunamaria Hawke from Gundam Seed.

OMG, they're doing the shie.

No respect for the King

Are any more words really necessary? 😂

 

Actually, one wonders why Toho never allowed Rodan to do this in the first place.

King Ghidorah in DTLA

Bonus points to those who can deliver the underlying message.

Bitchy robots

"Stop talking behind my back! And don't pretend that you can't hear me through those horns, either!"

😂

Gamera in B&W

The Guardian of Monochrome. Black & white has never looked so kaiju-riffic.

Hipness has three heads

...but only one bank account!

Return to the river

Mechagodzilla and Gaiking returning to their working class roots, as part of their "Gaiking & MechaGodzilla Do Hollywood" project. Of course, everyone already knows that neither of these metal guys have any sort of working class credentials in America, so this is just a great big pile of phony BS. But then again, this is a country that regularly astounds the world with the volume and stench of the BS we produce on a regular basis. And of course, this is also Hollywood, the main exporter of that BS to the rest of the planet. Thus, these guys are right at home, even though they're thousands of miles away from home. After all, BS is universal.

Gaiking Neon, Pt. 2

Back by popular demand...tokusatsu meets Blade Runner?

Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July, from Gamera!

Dino and Ghidorah

Hanna-Barbera meets Tsuburaya! There's a franchise in this, we know it! Call up Burger King, we've got to get started on the collectors item cups!

"Wil-MAAAAA! Dino brought home another three-headed dragon!"

"Again? Dino, what have we told you about bringing animals into the house? You have to play with your friends outside!"

Behind the scenes on Hollywood Boulevard: FANS!

Look what happened during the Godzilla shoot on Hollywood Boulevard...we had fans come buy, asking to take pictures with the Big Guy!

Yes, we're serious! This really happened on a Sunday morning on the Walk Of Fame, some weeks ago.

Yeah, we sometimes ask people if they want to pose with the kaiju, but rarely do we have people coming up and asking us! Trust us, we're flattered!

You'll notice how deserted Hollywood Boulevard is during the lockdown.

And unlike the other guys in costume normally on the Boulevard, he doesn't charge a thing! 😆

Godzilla: the biggest star on the Boulevard

"Yeah, baby--look at it! Check it out! Yep, that's me, folks! Not Mothra, or Baragon, or even Minilla--me, the Big G! How many other kaiju have a star on the Boulevard? Go one, tell me. Tell me. What's that you say? None? CORRECT!"

"Damn, I'm hot! 66 years and I'm just getting started, baby! WHOOOOO!"

Coolness is hot, and hotness is cool. Example: Gamera.

What else needs to be said? Kaiju on the beach are cool. Pretty self-evident, wouldn't you agree?

Urban kaiju

The vibe in the DTLA Arts District just got a little different.

The kaiju version of..."The Notebook"???

OK, we definitely weren't expecting this. A bunch of pictures got released today that apparently came from the set of what's being called the Japanese version of the beloved romantic tragedy film "The Notebook". Except it stars kaiju, and takes place in Southern California. And who's in it but our old friends Godzilla and King Ghidorah.

From the looks of the background, it appears that the movie is being shot somewhere in Elysian Park in L.A. If genuine, this is definitely the most unusual twist ever put on a monster flick.

There are obviously a lot of questions surrounding this apparent project. For starters, just what kind of love story is this? Is it a pairing, or a foursome? Is it a transgender tokusatsu one, a LGBTQ kaiju one, or what? King Ghidorah has never been 100% straight (if you'll forgive the pun) about their sexuality in the press, so this could get quite interesting.

BTW, don't go looking for the swing these two were chumming it up on. Word says that it was destroyed during production when Godzilla accidentally let fly a nuclear pulse. That's some awfully potent gas you've got, big guy.

No word yet on any release date, but they're no doubt looking for some buzz at Cannes. We of course will keep you posted.

Back to the Beach, Gamera

Groovy place, man. Where's that babe in the purple thong?
