Kaiju Kombat

Wow. It was all over so quickly, you'd swear MechaGodzilla knew some cheat codes or something. We've never seen someone use a plasma grenade so efficiently...not even Sub Zero or Johnny Cage.

We missed what exactly it was that set these two off this time. Knowing them, they'll have reconciled by the end of the week. So they can go through all this again some time down the road. And again. It's like if Liz and Dick were cybernetic.

(Whoa, we're really dating ourselves with that Liz and Dick reference!)

Gaiking keeping it real

DTLA Arts District.

He really does nail the tokusatsu bit, doesn't he? It's a wonder he didn't get his own super sentai show...at least, that's what he thinks. Even so, he still feels that personal sense of reward when someone tells him about how they loved him in Force Five in the 80s. If you don't remember Force Five...well then, you just weren't there at the beginning for anime on American TV, were you?

Kaiju as fine art black and white

Inspired by lith printing. Thanks to Gene Nocon and Tim Rudman for showing the way.

Of course, this could be done in the genuine lith printing process, with a digital negative...wow, the possibilities...

Damn, we've gotta hit the darkroom soon.

King Ghidorah's horror movie head shot

Or perhaps we should say, head shots.

This picture goes out to all the horror casting directors in town. Heck, wouldn't you be scared if you encountered these three in a dark alley? It seems to be sort of working, as IMDbeee.com says that Ghidorah is currently in a project called Triple Titans of Terror, which is listed as being in production--and apparently has been since 2017. It also has had four listed directors, BTW...not very encouraging.

TMZ busts Gamera for his Runyon Canyon mischief

Calisatsu takes some very interesting and bizarre turns sometimes...only in LA!

Who's happy that Runyon Canyon is open? GAMERA!

Well, somebody's sure glad that Runyon Canyon Park is open again--look who the paparazzi caught running out on the trails!"I can't tell you how relieved I am," said the child-friendly super turtle, "I put on so much weight the last two months, and trying to exercise in place at home over Zoom just doesn't cut it!"

Like we can tell.

Decisions, decisions...

Even the King of the Monsters gets stuck in a quandary now and again.
