Enshohma's Monster Movie Madness: May 25th (Tentative) To anyone living in or near the Los Angeles beach area: I am proud to announce that I, Enshohma (alias Rafael 'Crazy' Gonzalez) will be hosting in person a free, single day, 8-hour giant monster marathon in Manhattan Beach's acclaimed comic book store and nerd sanctuary The Comic Bug, on May 25th (tentative), Sunday, from 12PM-to-7PM! Although May 25th is for now a tentative date and may change later, the event itself has been conformed by Jun, Mike and Adam, owners of the Comic Bug, so this whole thing is a go no matter what and not just me blowing smoke up your respective...hmm...well, you know! As stated above, the marathon will begin at 12PM, and will end that evening just before 7PM, closing time. The selection of films will all be from my personal (some would even say insane) collection of giant monster films and television show. The exact line-up will be posted in the very near future, but be assured we're looking at items both obscure and not readily available (or at all) on American DVD. So its a great opportunity to open your mind and eyes to extra large heroes, monsters, and villains outside the typical Godzilla-based norm. Though that's not to say he'll be counted out...it is a giant monster marathon after all! The films will be played in the back theater area of the Comic Bug on a five-foot plasma screen. There will be plenty of free water and drinks available for audience members, though food has yet to be decided upon for the event. And although the Comic Bug is limited in kaiju-related merchandise, there will be items of great interest for sale, so please come in early before they all sell out. Jun, Mike and Adam have been very supportive in getting this event started, and it would be a BIG HELP if we have a good idea how many people will be attending the marathon. So if you're seriously considering on coming down, please notify me through this e-mail address: Enshohma@yahoo.com The more people we have confirmed for coming, the better the marathon and said items for sale will go. And if its successful enough, the Comic Bug overlords (that's Jun Mike and Adam again) will be open to doing another one before the end of 2008, possibly in October. Again, please check back on this thread in the coming weeks for updates and announcements, and I really hope to see any of you guys come down. 8 whole hours of free giant monster insanity with a nut-bag like me...how can you not go wrong with that! Here is the official Comic Bug site for further information: http://thecomicbug.com/ |

Finally have the full schedule, less then a week from the actually event. I doubt many people will show up, especially considering that some old guy with glass skulls will be showing up a couple of days beforehand...but if you are in the LA area and want to attend the seven hour marathon, please notify me so we can have a good idea how many to expect. Location's main web-site: http://www.thecomicbug.com/ Films in Play Order, from 12PM-to-7PM: 11:50- Opening introduction with host Raf 'Crazy' Gonzalez, along with... Miscellaneous Items (Various) In-between the main features, various shorts related to giant monsters will be shown, from short cartoons, to excerpt footage, and film trailers, rare and bizarre alike. It was the only way we could fit even more monsters then with the four full-length items. Especially since Gamera and King Kong are absent from the main features. 12PM- Mystery Science Theater 3000: Godzilla vs. Megalon (97 minutes, English) The now infamous and no longer available on DVD episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, in which Joel and his robot pals Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo sit through the anti-epic which is Godzilla vs. Megalon. The subterranean world of Seatopia wants revenge against us surface dwellers and hi-jack the groovy robot superhero Jet Jaguar to lead their insectoid monster-god Megalon on a rampage across the Japanese countryside. Jet Jaguar eventually breaks free and goes for the help of Godzilla himself, while Megalon gets aid from the gnarly space cyborg Gigan! And our three audience members sit through and comment on the action like boxing commentators...oh, and tons of Oscar Wild references included...? Note: If this item is overly familiar with the attending audience, another film will be played in its place. 1:45- Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra Brothers (2007, 92 minutes, Japanese with subtitled) Sometime in the late 1980s, the four alien Ultra Brothers in arms, Ultraman, Ultraseven, Ultraman Jack and Ultraman Ace, were fighting the powerful beast U-Killersaurus and its pure evil creator, the inter-dimensional specter named Yapool. In order to seal the creature away on Earth, the four were forced to give up their ability to transform, and have lived amongst the citizens of Kobe, Japan as regular humans ever since. Many years later, the current Ultra hero, the talented rookie Ultraman Mebius, heads to Kobe on an investigation and finds an allied force of past alien foes intent on awakening Yapool and U-Killersaurus for their own devious plans. Now the new hero must team up with the old guard to battle against these multiple opponents in this colorful, action-packed adventure celebrating the 40th anniversary of the still going strong Ultraman franchise. 3:30- Dai-Gaurd (2001, 45 minutes, English dubbed) Featuring episodes 1-to-2, this surprisingly charming and oddly down-to-Earth Japanese animated comedy mixes salary man sitcom with giant robots and monsters! In the near future, monsters from another dimension dubbed Heterodynes appeared and the Japanese Self Defense Force commissioned the construction of Dai-Guard, a robot big enough to handle the threat. But before the giant machine was completed, the Heterodynes disappeared as soon as they showed up, and the now useless robot was sold to 21st Century Security, an insurance and home defense company to be used as a gigantic mascot! Ten years pass, and during one company convention, a new Heterodyne arrives from the sea, sending many people in a sudden panic as the beast brings havoc. Thankfully, Dai-Guard's current caretakers, the lowly men and woman of the Public Relations Division #2 are ready to take up the challenge...much to the dismay of the military and Public Relations's own higher-ups! 4:45- Godzilla: Final Wars (2004, 125 minutes, English dubbed) Closing out the marathon is an insane hybrid of Michael Bay, Hong Kong action and what else, Japanese monsters, from director Ryuhei Kitamura, the man behind "Versus" and "Azumi". In the not-too-distant future (again), the Earth in invaded by aliens and their army of subjugated monsters. The remnants of the once mighty Earth Defense Force, lead by Captain Douglas Gordon (Don "The Predator" Frye) and young mutant solider Shinichi Ozaki (Masahiro Matsuoka) board the flying battleship Gotengo (AKA Atragon) and heads for the South Pole. There they make one last disparate bid to save what's left of mankind; awaken the King of the Monsters, Godzilla himself, from his icy tomb. And kick lots of alien and monster booty in the process! Featuring 15 giant monsters in all, including Mothra, Rodan, Minilla the Son of Godzilla , Gigan the space cyborg, the skeletal newcomer simply titled Monster X and many more, "Godzilla: Final Wars" was an insane film to ring in the Big Guy's 50th anniversary! Bring your own comfy chair if you'd like! http://www.thecomicbug.com/ |

Yetserday's movie showings went pretty good, with about 15 people showing up in all, not counting myself. The most popular item of the day was "Ultraman Mebius and the Ultraman Brothers" with lots of kids and their parents attending. Fellow kaiju artist Hawanja (AKA Marc) did attended for all the films minus "Final Wars" and for his wonderful presence at the event, I present this awesome illustration of his featuring 97 monsters: http://hawanja.deviantart.com/art/97-Kaiju-80954688 The Comic Bug had some kaiju DVD-Rs made for the event, and if you'd like to order the following titles, e-mail them through their site ofr how to and prices: http://www.thecomicbug.com/ The said items include- Gamera the Brave (great quality) Ultraman the Next (great quality) MST3K: Godzilla vs. Megalon Return of Godzilla / Godzilla 1985 double feature (great quality) Voyage Into Space (the Johnny Sakko compilation movie) Message From Space (no giant monsters, but neat tokusatsu space opera regardless) Depending on how the owners feel about the little film festival and it's nice attendance number, we might have more of these in the future, October at the earliest...this if so, I'll make an even bigger ruckus in advertising it. *Fingers Crossed* |
