I was flipping around my Twitch Channels and watched a bit of Final Wars and Destroy All Monsters and then switched over to a Cartoon channel. (CartoonBlast if you wish to check it out.) Well, they've entitled their feed, "The 25 Days of Christmas" and I've decided to steal their idea. First, I watched Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983) which features some cool cameos by Jiminy Cricket, Mr. Toad, Willie the Giant, the Weasels, and others. Here's a snippet, search for the whole thing yourself.
Next Toy Tinkers (1949) with the Chippendale DancersChip & Dale and Donald.
Good Will To Men (1955) is an incredibly bleak but fascinating short by Hanna Barbera.
Finally a Silly Symphony of The Night Before Christmas.
I'll try and add some cartoons daily. There are plenty to choose from!
Meanwhile, being the 1st of December, that means it's Calendar time. Here are my Star Wars and Jurassic Park entries for this month.
Last year's Chibi-Godzilla calendar.
Picked this up yesterday for a buck. I may find a place for this Kubrick on my tree. (If I had one.)
Since Poker night was cancelled, here's the next best thing. (Scott Hilburn)
Lastly, I just can't get away from posting Godzilla stuff. I scored 4/6 tumblers at a buck a piece and a tea cup. Far cheaper than a full price Kuji at 900 yen.
I'm off to bed soon, I have an early morning of HoHoHoing with the kiddies tomorrow!
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.
I noticed on Friday, that he has once again found his way into the UFO Catcher zone.
Here are some Shin-Godzilla plush that I spent a lot of cash upon.
From the anime.
This guy I found randomly in a Used Goods store. A mashup between Godzilla and Gudetama.
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.
Oops, I watched a fourth movie today as well, Yongary: Monster from Space. I may have the giant squid, crab or turtle from it. Hopefully I can find them someday.
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.
Thursday night was an anniversary party for Julian and his string of Day Care Centres founded 30 years ago! So he threw a party for his coworkers and Day Care Staff at a joint in town. Show me the Monet!
DJ Mokugohan (Alex) making a rare appearance behind the turntables.
Hey, that's MY Mask!
Boogieing to DJ Jules.
This elf has the best costume in my opinion.
This guy must have just been released on a day pass. He just wouldn't stop dancing all night long!
DJ Jules (right) and his much taller sidekick.
Yummy Mummy!
Arrrr! A pirate!
A different kind of pirate.
Justin time.
Wall-E is back!
Purrrr.
The Mokugohan goes on.
My T-shirt is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park (and Carl Eikaiwa.)
Disarmed.
The many masks of Mike.
Just for the Day of the Dead...
Handy!
Hey, he got that tie from me for his birthday last year! Awww. He remembered.
Alex's very own album created by him and starring his daughter on the cover!
A good gig, though I was a tad hungover today. Fortunately, I recovered enough for my Godzilla movie. (Details later...)
