Exactly. The human story actually didn't make much sense until the second act (even then, ehhhhhhh). Additionally, Gamera "got top billing," but it was Barugon's show. The puppy dragon wasn't a bad guy! He was just a victim of circumstance. On another note, Kyoko Enami was absolutely stunning.

I'll post my favorite jokes from This Island Earth as I watch it.
Legend:
Boring: Hard to watch.
Entertaining: Fun, B-movie goodness.
Campy: I mean, if they weren’t trying to make a purposely campy movie, they sure fooled me.
Sincere: Wait. I think this was a serious attempt at a movie…

This thread got a little unruly since I haven't updated it in a while. I'll jump back into it, though, and have now made it through Volume 20. Halfway through! Here's my current breakdown based on what I've viewed thus far. Might be of interest to you, @optimstie.bsky.social :

An image from a spooky, noir, Avant-garde horror film titled Where Are My Treats? It's an incredibly rare film that originally debuted in Paris around 1956. However, it was far too scary for viewers, so it's been buried since then.

Forgot about Resident Evil: Village. I'll add it to the pile, assuming I can get around to it.

Time to play some spooky/atmospheric games from my backlog this October. I've owned some of these for years and never finished any of them (I think I spent the most time with DP). Will I be able to knock them all out? Most assuredly not. However, I'll give it the old college try in 2025.

Powering through Dragon Quest 11, and the humor is pretty adorable at times.

Been about a month since I've fired up some anime. I watched this blast from the past today: Iria: Zeiram the Animation. Check out the alt text for a longer post.

Thinking I might start #MST3K Volume 17 tonight for some good vibes. It's been forever, but I definitely remember loving Final Sacrifice. Here's the updated chart (see the legend in the next post):

Looks like it's been a pretty eventful day on Bluesky. In addition to everything else, it's my beautiful dog's birthday, so you get a majestic picture. Also, this gorgeous statue of Chun Li arrived today. She's quite the stunning addition to my collection.

I was cleaning out my garage and I found Rey McSriff's rookie card. Just kidding. It's my high school baseball photo I haven't seen in 20+ years.
