Apr. 14th, 2006 07:59 pmA lot of little disconnected bits, though in my mind they're pretty connected.
In my sleepless search for the kaiju films I'm missing, I've now located copies of The Mysterions, Atragon, and a real winner entitled Space Ameoba. I've also secured rips for Godzilla vs Biollante and Godzilla vs. Destoryah, both of which I have on VHS (2 copies, no less). Might I note that whomever was smoking bloom and decided to pit the Big G against a plant... a plant that only seems to have the abilitiy to teleport itself into the heavens, at that... really should go back to what ever cheap opium den they were hiding in and STAY there. Dear God.
I've also come to the conclusion that Minilla, otherwise known as 'baby Godzilla', is the kaiju equivalent of Wesley Crusher; he shows up, and an improbable-even-for-kaiju ending is in the making. *thinks* I think that makes Biollante the kaiju equivalent of Broccoli (Lt Reginald Barclay). I think that makes it pretty damned wretched.
Anyway. I've gotten a handful of 'where the heck are you?!' emails from folks. The short answer is that I'm here, but that I'm not actively 'online'. I've been just a wee bit cranky of late and have been deliberately keeping myself scarce. There're a couple of reasons for it, but it boils down to a pair of important ones:
I'm going back to Space Ameoba. The RSM effects are cheesy as hell, but it's got an interesting plotline thus far.

I've been just a wee bit cranky of late and have been deliberately keeping myself scarce. There're a couple of reasons for it, but it boils down to a pair of important ones:
- I'm in the midst of a VERY bad arthritis flare; I'm spending most of my time unable to use my right arm... or turn my head more than five to ten degrees each way. It's not left me a happy camper in any way, shape, or form.
- I've not had a cigarette since 6pm EDT Sunday evening. A habit of 27 years, and the breaking of it is anything but pleasant. It's an intentional thing; I'm making use of spring break to absorb the first week of withdrawal, so I don't turn into a raving psychobitch at work. We'll find out come Monday if it's a success. I can hope. I'm going to continue doing so, at any rate.
I'm going back to Space Ameoba. The RSM effects are cheesy as hell, but it's got an interesting plotline thus far.
