    My First Convention

    I'd been meaning to put this up earlier, but well, better late than never.

    Tomorrow and through Sunday, I'll be out of town - my dad and I are going to a convention over in Beckley. Dad's going to be vending a table there to try and sell some books.

    Thoughts on Harakiri (1962)

    Wow. This was a masterclass in buildup and tension. I knew about Masaki Kobayashi's movie before - a scathing indictment of the samurai and the honor code that they profess to live by - but all the same, watching the movie had me hooked from start to finish. :scootangel:

    It was fun. Good mindless monster mash of a film. Funny how much some of the stuff with Kong in the movie made me think, just a little, of Primal. If only for the lack of dialogue and the importance of character through action and expression.

Oppenheimer Ending plus Godzilla (1954) · 12:18am January 26th

There've been a number of jokes, or video edits, tying in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer with Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One. Though this particular mashup is probably my favorite, for reaching all the way back to the original 1954 movie.

I love that the video maker went the extra mile of rendering the footage from Nolan's movie in black and white, as well as giving the audio a faint crackle to make it feel more like a vintage movie from that era. Just a very nice touch, and still the end result is very effective in its own way.

"Albert. When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world."
"I remember it well. What of it?"
"I believe we did."
