GAMERA-THON, 2004
ALL GAMERA – ALL DAY

In the interest of SCIENCE, Next Sunday, February 15, I am going to watch ALL the GAMERA episodes (One KTMA version ‘cause I don’t have the Gamera episode from CC) BACK – TO – BACK !
Why? Maybe it’s a sad attempt at enlightenment, maybe because I think I can. I intend to set up the TV on my TIKI porch (I live in Florida), pour some serious Mai-Tai’s and SEE WHAT HAPPENS! Will I have a meltdown? Will I kick in the TV? WHO IS WITH ME? This won’t be a discussion, just watch all the episodes and write down observations. I will post my reflections on Monday. Anyone interested?

Good kuck my friend.

I recently picked up the outstanding Godzilla GMK on DVD so I was in the mood for a little more kaiju action so I watched all the CC monster experiments.

Gamera vs. Zigra was the hardest to get through. That is one silly movie. Gamera vs. Guiron is probably my favorite of the Gameras. My goodness, at the end when Cornjob's glasses fell down and he says "When I'm happy, my glasses fall down." And Servo "So do my pants!" I fell out of my chair laughing.

I don't think I have the testicular fortitude to watch all five back to back. Which one of them will be the KTMA version?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on each one after you view them all.

GMK is awsome. I'm going to pick up the DVD soon, but I'm waiting for Godzilla X Mechagodzilla to be released in March since I haven't seen it yet.

(great user name, greater trilogy)

I'm still trying to find "vs. Zigra" and "vs. Barugon." Those are the only kaiju eps (besides KTMA of course) that I haven't seen.

I also secretly hope some day DIEA-EEEE! and Toho get together and give us Gamera vs Godzilla. It can't be any worse than King Kong vs. Godzilla, and the newer movies are far superior to the goofy old Godzilla/Gamera films.

DoctorZ: I do have the CC Gamera episode on tape, and it's pretty good quality. Could you hook me up with one of the above I'm lacking in exchange? I'd really appreciate it. (Probably off-topic, but you know...)

Tomorrow is the big day. Life wasting slug that I am, I fully intend to sit through all 5 Gamera (MST3K versions) movies back to back! I have laid in supplies and I have located and cued up the shows. It'll be tough but I'm ready! Look for my comments on the experience on Monday! ;D

I just sat through all five Gamera episodes for the first time recently.

And how do you feel about that?

It was awful. Sooooooooooooo cheesey. I can't get that damn song out of my head!

Failure... Failure.....

My computer crashed on Sunday morning and I spent the entire day rebuilding my operating system and looking for new drivers for my software. I think I got through 1 and a half episodes before I got permanently sucked into Window XP hell. I prevailed, but the experiment, alas, had to be scrapped.

I'll try it again some other time.

I have immense and deep shame! ;D
