When I was in Toho Cinema the other day, I saw an ad for Chibi-Godzilla and wondered what it's all about.
It's for Chibi short videos that can be seen on the official Godzilla YouTube Channel.
Whoa, there sure are a lot of them!
Hey, Godzilla -1 in monochrome is back! I'm still waiting to find a version with English Subs.
What is very cool is the deck of cards they have on sale. (NO Trump does not mean Trump!)
If I didn't already have this set, I'd probably get a deck.
The Jokers are Oxygen Destroyers!
My Twitch channel showed a smattering of Monster Movies so I watched Meg, Monster Hunter, and Troll. Cheeesy yes, but that yummy kind of cheese.
I don't get into much sportball these days, yet Kudos to Toronto's own Argooooos!
I need to get around to watching this highlight reel.
My best memory of an Argos game was watching the Blues Brothers (With James Belushi) play at halftime back when John Candy co-owned the team. (Although I may be misremembering...)
We're all familiar with SCTV for who didn't watch them in their heyday in the late 70s? It's impossible to choose a favourite, so I'll just pick John Candy because, pound for pound, he is one funny guy.
(Tangent time:) Back in High School, one of my duties in the Nerd elite (Chess Club, Bridge Club, Classics Club) was as a Prefect. As our main responsibility, we'd patrol the Cafeteria during lunch. I was there during the great rainfall of frogs when our dissected buddies were liberated (though still dead) with frogs showing up in unsuspecting sandwiches, the Coke machine and being pelted back & forth across the room. I was not exactly authoritarian that day for I recall tossing a few amphibians myself. I also remember wearing less than traditional garb on a few occasions; at least twice I wore a toga while promoting the Classics Club's annual Roman orgy festival--remember this was in the early 70s long before Belushi made toga parties popular. And in '77, I paraded around in full pirate garb, stabbing apple cores with my sword and making a complete fool of myself when I became a lifesize billboard for my role as Squire Simon Cataract in The Secret of the Spyglass!
Why the trip down memory lane? Because in gratitude for all our hard work as Prefects, we all were treated to the big city of Toronto for dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory and a show of Second City at the Firehall Theatre. At that time, among the cast were Peter & Dan Ackroyd, Dave Thomas, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Gilda Radner, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin and the immortal John Candy. So years before he entertained the masses as Johnny LaRue I saw him on stage with the rest of the gang!
Apart from making people laugh and eating, John also had a passion for Football (not that super-bowl crap or soccer...CFL) and he even went so far as to buy a part of the Toronto Argonauts with Bruce McNall and Wayne Gretzky! Back in '91, I got to see Toronto kick Hamilton's collective ass and watch the Blues Brothers/Elwood Revue Show play at half-time!!
From the CFL archive page...
July 18, 1991 – The Argos open the season against Hamilton in front of more than 41,000 people. The day featured the debut of Raghib “Rocket” Ismail and a stellar halftime show featuring the famous Blues Brothers.
Those are my personal encounters with JC, if you click the SCTV or SNL label below, you can read about my further encounters with various members of those elite comedy teams.
