It's about an hour (edit: or two >_>;;) until #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watch party! If you want to filter the tag, now's the time to turn it on!
This week we're watching the MAN, the MYTH, GODZILLA (1954) -- the first and last word in monster movies.
This "holiday" is dumb. PLEASE ignore all the stupid propaganda that insists you NEED someone else to make your life complete. You don't. But if you CHOOSE to allow a special someone to share any part of your life, I hope you are lucky enough to have had a Monster that has added some loveliness to your life & makes/made you happy, whether now, in the past, or in the future.
Yes, McDonald's is evil and all that... Whatever...
One thing I like about McDonald's in Japan (beyond the fact that at least it tastes good, not like ik the US where its barely edible) is all the limited series burger. They're not always the best ones, but at least they're original, both in their marketing and their recipes.
One of the big complaints I've heard about Apple TV+'s "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" is that there isn't enough Godzilla or other kaiju in it.
Now, I'm a huge fan of the kaiju genre, and would love to have seen them in every scene in this show.
But that belies the fact that it's called "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters," and it is essentially the origin story of PRECISELY that: The clandestine organization tasked with keeping track of giant monsters.
