GODZILLA: Tokyo S.O.S. / Toho Company - 2003

I recently purchased all the most recent Godzilla movies and so it's time to check one of them out. We have Godzilla, Mothra and Mecha-Godzilla fighting it out in a pretty damn cool flick!

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our monster battle ring, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a little sample from... GODZILLA: Tokyo S.O.S!

Here's an awesome portrait of our winged hero, Mothra. Our story starts with the thing flying over Japanese air space...

Then, the big guy shows up to create even more problems for japan.

This still knocks me out, boy, the special effects team really know their stuff!!

After a small battle, Mothra picks up Godzilla and flings him to the ground as he slides along the street, taking out everything in his path!!

In a later fight, Mothra gets hit by one shot of Godzilla's fiery breath and goes down for the count, and sadly, dies...

Two eggs on Mothra Island activate and they swim to Tokyo to confront Godzilla and try to cover him with their silk webs, which would immobilize him.

Big G escapes from the little worms only to be confronted by Japan's secret super weapon built to fight monsters, the mighty Mecha-Godzilla!

M-G unleashes its most potent rays and stuns our Big Guy long enough for the little worms to do their thang, encasing him in a silk cocoon ...

Then, Mecha-Godzilla grabs the monster and takes him away toward the ocean where there is a plan to deal with him.

Your job is done little guy, you can go back home now!

The pilot for Mecha-Godzilla is ready to die when he gets stuck inside the robot as it gets ready to plunge into the sea and rest at the bottom with Big G, forever and a day... But, he falls out of a port and is miraculous rescued by a woman pilot!

But anyway, we do get... HAPPY ENDING! We're back on Wednesday...

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS - Season One, Episode 13 - "Scaredy Pants" (1999)

I was going to start off with the fact that I don't usually do modern shows, and then it dawned on me that 1999 was already 16 years ago! This IS the distant past already!

One of both Eegah!! and Tabonga's favourite TV shows is and was "SpongeBob SquarePants!
A lot of weird stuff has been said about SpongeBob over the years, but don't believe any of it!
SpongeBob is the perfect innocent, he means well, but he's just really bad at it! The artwork and writing are superlative! Some people just don't get SpongeBob, but I just don't get why!

So this was the 13th episode of season number one, and it was split into two tales of terror, this one titled "Scaredy Pants," and the second part was titled "I Was A Teenage Gary," which I hope to get around to sometime too!

Here's a short soundclip to get you in the mood!

It's Hallowe'en, and SpongeBob decides to be a scary ghost!

But it turns out that his costume isn't scary at all!

Patrick finds this hand puppet to be much scarier than SpongeBob!

Which causes SpongeBob to realize that the whole scary problem is the shape of his head!

So he enlists Patrick to trim him up, and round off his head!

What do you know? It worked and everybody is scared now! The reason that SpongeBob is wearing clogs is because he is pretending to be the ghost of The Flying Dutchman!

It's imagery like this of SpongeBob scaring Mr. Krabs that puts SpongeBob cartoons in a league of their own in my book!

SpongeBob's friend Sandy's costume is a fish in a fishbowl!
Squidward is also decked out as The Flying Dutchman!

You've gotta have imagination working overtime to figure out something like an underwater moon!

While SpongeBob is trying t o scare all the folks at "The Krusty Krab," the real ghost of The Flying Dutchman shows up!

SpongeBob is in deep doodoo now!

Then suddenly, the ghost of The Flying Dutchman gets scared and flees the scene after pulling the pillowcase off of SpongeBob's head!

As it turns out, Patrick gave SpongeBob a shave that was just maybe a little too close, and it scares the lovin' bejesus out of everybody! Having no clue how hideous he looks, SpongeBob sez, "Don't worry, it grows back!!"

EEGAH!! & TABONGA! AT THE MOVIES 2 / The Early Sixties

Welcome back! Here are some more cool movies Eegah!! and I got to see together some fifty years ago, so, enjoy the ride...

BATTLE BEYOND THE SUN was pretty weird for us, the Euro looking dudes were odd and the totally insane monsters were like, WTF! One thing I remember vividly was the name patch they put over the Russian symbols on the spaceship moved around a bit, making it a little hokey.

Like father, like son!!.. William Castle was one out there guy, he kept us entertained, that's for sure. Here's a strange little coincidence.. Eegah!! informed me last night that he'd finally found his Punishment Poll after looking for it for years and I've included the movie in my post today.

BLACK SABBATH was another movie we liked, although Boris was one terrifying vampire, we liked the lead in segment with the dead lady on the bed the best!

Here's a wild little comedy we saw, script was written by Jonathan Haze (real last name is Hayes). One thing that was appealing to us were the ample packages of Dr. Tanga and Professor Puna. We liked this segment where the girls scan the minds of our moronic heroes.

But, another WTF! moment. These male space creatures have got to be one of the most god awful monster designs in Hollywood history... EVER!!!

Dick Miller is one of our all time favorite actors, watch him give his speech at the UN in WAR OF THE SATELLITES, the guy could act!! He is so perfect as Walter Paisley and makes this one a ton of fun to watch. Even getting to see this model's bare back was really exciting for us! Be back tomorrow as we continue down the old bloody Halloween Countdown trail!
