Day 5 of Govember just happens to fall on Guy Fawkes Day. I know I should probably go watch V for Vendetta again, but I had a few more Kaiju movies to catch up on. Just to keep me honest, here is an Anonymous contributor to this blog.
(I wish I knew what happened to that mask!)
I worked hard yesterday, tidying my couch so that I could photograph my larger Kaiju who rest thereupon. Here are the couch potatoes in question.
Here are some Shin-Godzilla plush that I spent a lot of cash upon.
From the anime.
I doubt whether Gojira will show up in the series.
Sofa, so good. In addition to those on the couch, we have to give a shoutout to another Franchise celebrating its 30th anniversary. Here, let's let the divan divine Jeff Goldblum introduce them.
So all these guys plus a few other share space on my couch. Doesn't leave much room for me.
During the day, they get smothered by my futon. (Where else am I going to put it?)
So far today, I've watched three movies. #1 The Magic Serpent. I've never seen this so I researched it a little and found out it's loosely based on the story of Jiraiya. When I read that he rides a giant Toad into battle, I knew that I had to watch it.
There's a nice epic battle between the Toad and a Dragon.
Next up was The X from Outer Space starring Guilala.
I have a challenge for you, whenever Britney sings Ou La La, substitute Guilala!
I was going through a box of toys and much to my surprise, I found the aforementioned monster.
He's from a Gatcha set from back when the movie, What to do With the Dead Kaiju? was released. Sadly, I never got around to watching it. Hopefully it'll show up on DKU-TV someday.
It took some digging, but this guy appears to Metallinome from Captain Ultra/ Ultraman.
And a Kinoko Mushroom. Why? I don't know.
Surprisingly, I was lucky enough to get the whole set without any duplicates. I fully expected to get several fungi before I got the others.
And the final movie I watched, appropriate for Govember, was Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster. As all these movies are dubbed, I didn't pay too much attention except when the Kaiju came on screen. (I recently watched a subbed version for Hedorah's anniversary.)
Back when I used to have money to burn, I ordered this guy from Amazon.
There are a few more AIP movies coming on later, Majin, the Monster of Terror and Monster from a Prehistoric Planet. I may view them before bed.
