They always come in three

I hate underwater, i hate underwater movies, i hate monsters underwater. I hate them all, it makes me crazy i tell you. When i heard they had made an underwater monster movie i was cringing and running to the theatre at the same time, but three underwater monster movies at almost the same time was something my sanity might not handle, You know, big movie screens, underwater shots.....silence.....then..... Monster!!! I'm a big horror movie fan so i had no choice, but the whole underwater thing...bleeech!! Damn you sharkie..



So, there was this thing about a sunken sub and they send a bunch of guys down there to see how it had happened, but they happen to stumble upon signs of life underwater and we're not talking about the fishy kind. More like a close encounters type of deal but unda da sea! This flick is the best of the bunch, Now go kiss de girrrrl!



Deepstar 6Yep. so a group of scientists in an underwater base go on to disturb an ancient underwater creature and all mayhem breaks loose all thanks to a lobster reptile thingy, Man vs nature with gore everywhere. Will anyone survive?



LeviathanThis time a team of scientists in yet another underwater lab stumble across a sunken ship and get infected by drinking a flask of liquor they had found aboard...yep.....So they end up with a mutant fish monster thing and it ain't happy, all that and the guy from Robocop too.. oh yeah....and Ernie hudson (but of course, the brother gets killed).



Special mention.....



Devil fishThis movie is soooo bad i cannot accurately describe it. Leave it up to the Europeans to fuck it up. We got your devil fish food!

The gen-x guide to gen-x movies

Movies always speak for a generation, I would like to point that my generation would most likely be the gen-x generation, aka slackers, aka everything else. What could have been better than being young and giving the man the finger. I've done it at one point, worked menial jobs and being as free as i could ever want to be. Along the way a few movies came out at the time that made perfect sense to me. i would like to capture this moment to reflect back to my past slackerful, grimy, grungy, dirty, not giving a fuck life a.k.a my past



This movie is probably the best of the bunch. Great soundtrack that captured the era perfectly, This movie had a bunch of 20 somethings rocking out and having relationships. nice comedy/drama with a seattle grunge twist.



Yet another movie that came out about the same time to catch in on the craze, The story had to do with a bunch of college grads who have no idea what to do after college, all that and a grunge/mtv feel thrown in and you have "Reality bites".



So two friends fall for the same girl and then end up having a "Threesome" get it?.... anyway, Afterwards the whole friendship thing goes down the crapper. All for the name of ass...Does it get any worse?.....read on.



I don't remember this movie much, I remembered trying to watch this but it was friggin horrible. Stephen dorff is to the grunge era what captain crunch is to pancakes. This movie is straight up gaaaabaaaaage!

Gojiraaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Yep, I had to do this.
Way back when we didn't have any means of recording movies (70's) we'd had to wait almost a whole entire year for the real deal kickass marathon to begin. And of course we're talking about..Every year they'd give random episodes but here is a list of the ones shown at one point or another.

Godzilla
Gigantis the Fire Monster
King Kong vs. Godzilla
Godzilla vs. The Thing
Ghidrah the Three Headed Monster
Monster Zero
Godzilla vs the Sea Monster
Godzilla vs the Smog Monster
Godzilla vs the Cosmic Monster
The Terror of Mecha-Godzilla
Son of Godzilla
Destroy All Monsters
Godzilla On Monster Island
Godzilla vs Megalon



Thanksgiving was always devoted to Godzilla and King kong flicks(what a strange concept). The Godzilla vs King kong movie was always a favorite (even though the King kong costume was atrocious)



King kong + Godzilla = Beatdownasaurus.



We didn't care about holiday dinner or anything, all we wanted to do was watch good ol godzilla takin' no guff.



Godzilla's universal answer to every question



When Godzilla and Jetjaguar kicked monster @$$ for the first time i couldn't believe my eyes.



Baby zookie in the house (minya)



Save the eaaaaarrth!



I'm not gonna go into godzilla history, Everyone knows that. But let me just go on record to say that Thanksgiving as a child was a cherished moment, A weird rubber costume monster @$$ kicking kind of cherished moment.



I will never forget Godzilla, You are my rubber suit, cheesy monster hero.

Oh yeah....Enjoy your Thanksgiving!!

My 5 minutes of fame

I had a childhood friend who was an artist, By the time he was in his early 20's he had broken into the comic biz and all of our friends were around to witness it firsthand, one day he started to sketch all of our faces and he said he had a suprise for us, little did we all know he would put us getting killed in a comic book he was working on. My brother and i are on this page. He's the one with the glasses and earing, I'm the one who's bottom face is cut out by a damn caption. Probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done.
