Beerzilla!

Yesterday, I watched Rodan* and didn't do much else. It was a pj-day.

*dubbed version, so I didn't call it Radon.

Today, I just finished watching Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. and if you click that, there's a blurb about some dioramas from that movie. I also watched Godzilla Raids Again with my favourite Kaiju, Anguirus!

I have a busy week so I won't be able to indulge in my purchase, but I scored some cooler than cool cooler bags at the supermarket. They cost me about twenty bucks each, but they came with two free six-packs of beer!

The Yellow bag contains some premium Malts from Suntory. Not my favourite brand of brew but the designs are sweet.

Next up are some Premium ales.

Finally, the red bag contains a slightly cheaper beverage. I've never had it so I hope it tastes okay. (If not, it's a present for my poker buddies.)

Last year, I was lucky enough to score a tote bag for Minus 1. When I went back a few days later, they were all sold out.

Not bad, the tote is now selling for $33 US and that's WITHOUT the beer!

Boss Coffee has a really cool video they made for the 70th!

I think I'll try and track down this sake. Looks yummy. I hope I don't have to travel all the way to Nagano to get it.

 

That's it, I have an early day tomorrow...

Deck The Halls.

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...)

Hama Sandwich

I just found out that November 16th is National Fast Food Day. Too bad these Godzilla burgers weren't offered again. (Click for some pics from a Godzilla -1 promo.)

Here are a few ads I've scammed featuring Godzilla chowing down on Fast Food.

Someone overdid it.

A healthier choice.

This one is fairly recent, from Texas. Looks messy.

Speaking of Tacos, I ate at a local joint last night. Pretty tasty!

Unless you have a death wish, don't try the raw jalapeño, the pickled ones are fine.We met the guy who grows them in the pub downstairs and they're grown in my old stomping grounds of Watari.

I'll have to check this place out again. Linda

I'm pleased to announce that I completed my new Godzilla Gatcha set. The rare one is Baragon.

We also have my personal favourite from this set, the rarely represented Gorosaurus.*

Also a Radon from '64.

And Gojira himself from 1968.

*Gorosaurus just happens to show up in one of the movies I watched today. 

It is also starring birthday girl Mie Hama who is a spry 81-year old. Here she is at 80.

I also saw her in the last half of You Only Live Twice (1967). Hopefully I'll get to see it in its entirety when the marathon repeats itself. After Kong, she was in a romantic comedy called Kitchen (1989) but it wasn't very good. I saw her as a princess in Samurai Pirate (1963) or The Lost World of Sinbad. Then she was in two spy comedy thrillers from 1965, 100 Shot, 100 Killed and International Secret Police: Key of Keys. I had a hard time distinguishing these. Another movie similar to Samurai Pirate (a lot of the same cast) was Adventure in Kigan Castle (1966). Showing now is a musical called You Can Succeed, Too (1964). I'm going now watch it instead of blogging further.

ps. Yesterday I told the punchline to a joke I hadn't fully perfected yet. Here goes.

How did the cannibal feel after he consumed the second woman? Gladiator 2!

Spaced Out.

I enjoyed a few brew at home so never got around to blogging about Space-Godzilla. I watched it yesterday and made innumerable photos of figures, to be displayed anon. Here is the only Space Godzilla goodie I have on hand.

I think it was a pencil topper from back when the movie was released.

I also watched a dumb feral cat movie because I needed something that I didn't need to pay much attention to while I was Peter Parkering my figures.

I give you Strays!

I'll be back later, I'm off to go see Glad he ate her too.

No Red One!

Good news, I earned a few extra bucks teaching at a friend's school tonight. Bad news, 2 new Gatcha machines!

There goes all that earned dough...

Ooh, a new Godzilla Gatcha featuring some rarely reproduced figures. Colour coded capsules, I got 3 green, 3 black and 3 orange, BUT NO RED ONE!

Ooh, a new Rocket Raccoon series! (I never did complete the first series!) I don't know how long this machine has been in operation, I ended up getting the last three, a black, purple and green, BUT NO RED ONE!

Ah well, it's getting late, I'll go through my goodies tomorrow. 

I finished at 9:00 and there was a late show of RED ONE starting at 9:35. With ads and previews, it ended around 11:50, I had to skip out early in order to catch the last subway so NO RED ONE end credits for me. I have no idea whether or not there was an after-credits gag.

Fortunately, the Warners website has a whole heard of trailers and you can watch them all here. Here's a taste:

 It seems that EVERY main actor in this movie has had a comic book movie connection.

Dwayne was Black Adam, Chris of course was Captain America AND the Human Torch, Lucy Liu was Kalisto in Shazam 2, Kiernan was in Riverdale (TV, that counts), J.K. Simmons has been a newspaper guy in both Spider-Man and Superman, Bonnie was in Jumanji (does that count?), the kid Wesley was in WandaVision, even Krampus himself, Kristofer, was in Game of Thrones (does that count?)!

All in all, I really like the movie. I don't think you can portray Santa for a couple of decades and not feel sentimental towards the RED ONE!

Just so I have a little Godzilla content, here are 15/20 stickers that I have wrangled and surprisingly have received no doubles.

I only wish they were numbered in some way so I can find out which ones I'm missing.

FYI, there's a Moomin Pop-up at Sendai Station if you're in the area.

And there's a honking-big Christmas tree up with some unusual ornaments.

I'll show off my Gatcha loot tomorrow.
