<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I think a year or so of inactivity is enough. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; min-height: 15px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">As much as I love all things giant monster-related, my day-to-day life has been stupidly busy over these last twelve months, leaving this place to collect virtual cobwebs. Unfortunately, my hectic schedule isn’t going to relax anytime soon but I really have been itching to start contributing to the blog again. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; min-height: 15px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I thought that, perhaps, a more casual change of pace might be the answer to this little conundrum and so I’d like to announce the creation of <i>Daikaiju Sushi</i>, my new Tumblr extension of this blog (the name change is due to someone else beating me to the <i>Giant Monsters Attack</i> domain on Tumblr. Thanks a heap, whoever you are).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; min-height: 15px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Why Tumblr? Admittedly, I was drawn to its more casual setup. You can use it much like Blogger (but with a more straight-forward interface) or, when there isn’t time to write up reviews and whatnot, as a shared picture gallery. I figure that I’d give it a shot for a little bit and see how it works out. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; min-height: 15px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">As for <i>Giant Monsters Attack!</i>, I’m going to leave it open, although I would like to eventually migrate some of my older articles over to the Tumblr site. At any rate, to those of you out there who stopped in to check out this this update, I hope to see you over at the new place:</span></div>

I’m cautiously optimistic about this bit of news out of the San Diego comic con, where Legendary Pictures revealed an early poster and teaser trailer for the upcoming American Godzilla film. The details of the trailer are covered over on <a href="http://io9.com/5926079/weve-seen-the-first-trailer-for--the-new-godzilla" target="_blank">iO9</a>, but the general reaction from the fans has been pretty positive. Even though the footage is brief, it contains two encouraging elements which fills me with hope that Legendary is on the right track with this project: a demolished city and the silhouette of a creature that is definitely Godzilla-esque.</div>

Granted, you can’t make out too much from that grainy image, but the outline is a heck of a lot closer to the Japanese Godzilla than the 1998 version ever was. In fact, its somewhat stocky proportions remind me of the design that was used for Godzilla's cameo in the Japanese film “Always on Third Street 2”:<br />

What do giant monsters, comics and cool, groovy music all have in common? Well, in the case of the multimedia project <i>Kodoja: Terror Mountain Showdown, </i>quite a lot, actually<i>.</i> The story of the comic concerns a military robot prototype built in the 60’s. Designed to be the ultimate weapon, complete with laser eyes, retractable fists and a highly advanced computer brain capable of learning, the robot proves to be a little <i>too</i> effective during a field simulation when the testing area ends up completely obliterated. Around the same time, a mysterious sea quake takes place in the Pacific ocean as all the marine life flees en masse from the epicenter. Sounds like a recipe for an eventual giant monster/giant robot altercation to me! Below are a couple of preview pages from the book:</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">If you’re at all familiar with Japanese monster movie soundtracks from the 60’s and 70’s, then you’ll totally recognize the sound that the music has used as a starting point. I particularly love the stretch between the 10:29 and 13:40 mark, which I keep replaying over and over again- it’s like a giant monster’s personal theme song by way of a funky groove. Awesome!</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">A trailer has finally been released for the Roger Corman’s newest upcoming straight-to-DVD/SyFy/whatever monster flick. To be honest, I had almost forgotten about this thing. Not surprisingly though, considering that there hasn’t been much in the way of news besides a single photograph of the titular creature’s head which was making the rounds on the internet over a year ago. I'm sure it’s only a matter of time before we get a sequel where it fights the Sharktopus. C’mon, Corman- we know you want to.</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Radioactive Press has just released a new, deluxe edition of <i>Giant Monster Rampage</i>, a strategic “war game” wherein players create and battle giant abominations of science and nature against one other. Much in the vein of an RPG, each player creates a monster character using a set number of points to determine its strength and durability as well as what kinds of special attacks it can perform. From there, the monsters are placed on the playing field (i.e. a coffee table or something similar) which represents a given location and then the battle begins. Each player takes a turn moving and attacking with their monster until one is defeated. </span><br />

The game doesn’t really have any pieces other than what you decide to use to represent the monsters and buildings: action figures, a drawing on a card, ground beef sculptures (not recommended)... whatever you have on hand. The game can be purchased at the link below and is available as a printed copy or digital PDF form:</div>

Titled <i>Gamera vs. The Ice Men</i>, the movie was intended to be the second entry in the series but the production company abandoned the idea and made <i>Gamera vs. Barugon</i> instead. It’s weird how this little tidbit of information remained hidden for so long (at least to Western fans, anyway- it might have been more commonplace knowledge in Japan) only being recently revealed on the audio commentary track of the <i>Gamera vs. Barugon</i> DVD from Shout! Factory. At any rate, you can read up on some additional details about this unmade film over at <a href="http://www.enshohmacorner.blogspot.com/2012/02/gamera-vs-ice-men-from-outer-space-1965.html">Enshohma’s blog</a>.</span></p>Mysterious Pantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132519432524261914noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321165284766276273.post-83696442967149661272012-02-14T09:03:00.000-08:002012-02-14T09:07:55.551-08:00Giant Monster Valentines<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Verdana"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Need some last minute Valentines?
