this was a very fun read. Ultraman is, to my shame, a recurring blind spot of mine, and I didn’t know Jirahs had such a history to him!

With only a few days left, I’m sharing this with hope & gratitude.❤️ Behind this rent goal is a family hoping to hold on to a place of security and comfort, a home where we can continue building our days together.🥹 £355 left to complete next month’s rent, and any contribution can bring us closer.🙏

In Megalon, observe how Michiko Ikeda uses quick cuts to and from closeups sell the speedy pace of a TV toku-style brawl. In Hedorah and Gigan, too much emphasis was placed on on mediums and wides. The best pure suitmation fight since Tsuburaya and Reiko Kaneko's work on KKvsG round II.

A fundraising post for Ibrahima Bah. 

The text reads as follows: “DONATIONS NEEDED. WE ARE IN NEED OF MORE FUNDS TO KEEP SUPPORTING IBRAHIMA. Ibrahima was recently moved between prisons, impacting his access to basic needs and services - including emails, a fan he had ordered to cope with the heat, and some of the music he had been working on! We have had a massive slowing of donations, impacting our ability to support him with basic expenses or to send money to his family. Please help with any support you can.”

A screenshot from X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES (1963). The image shows three skeletons from the waist up. The light is splitting into a spectrum of colour; each skeleton leaves a trail of blue, green, and red. A screenshot from THE TRIP (1967). The image shows a closeup on Peter Fonda’s eyes. Red lines and specks of shadow sit across his face.

EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS + INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN. Alien visitors in metal armour unleash spectacular saucer devastation! Both films also include scenes in which their aliens communicate via recorded tapes which need specific playback speeds to be understood.
A black-and-white screenshot from EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS (1956). The shot shows the interior of an alien spacecraft, which is dark and shadowy. In the middle of the space are four humans. They are looking toward the left of the frame where a large screen shows the vastness of space. Against the spaceship’s walls are two viewing ports, through which two alien beings in silver armour watch their human captives. A black-and-white screenshot from INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN (1961). A humanoid alien being is raising its arms menacingly. The being is wearing a bizarre silver spacesuit with a large, conical helmet. A prominent visor cuts across the front of the helmet, which also has circular antennas protruding from its right and left side.

interestingly, when GHIDRAH ran in Detroit theatres in October 1965, Louis Cook of the Detroit Free Press offered this amusing comment in his review:
An excerpt from a newspaper review of GHIDRAH, THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER, printed in the Detroit Free Press, 22 October 1965. The copy reads, “You really need a score card to keep your monsters straight these days, although there is a large and avid audience of specialists who keep track of The Blob as carefully as if it were Debbie Reynolds.”

when released in the us in autumn 1965, GHIDRAH, THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER had no set co-feature, meaning theatre circuit owners could freely pair it with a variety of films. For example, in December 1965, GHIDRAH was paired with THE BLOB (1958) at multiple theatres across the San Francisco Bay Area.

A liter of gasoline in Gaza costs $30, and a single kilogram of cooking gas also costs $30 basic daily necessities that normally cost no more than $2. All of this is due to the blockade.
