It's 7:30 am right now and there's been a lot going on. It's all very positive though and I'm very thankful for that. There hasn't been much going on to talk about since yesterday which isn't really surprising, I got 2 Blu-rays in the mail which was great. One was Ultra Q, the complete series, in case you don't know, Ultra Q is a monster of the week show I'm pretty sure and the special effects guy behind Godzilla (one of my favorite movies and franchises) created it. It's a pretty great release overall, for 10 bucks at least. It comes with a detailed episode guide with character information on top of history in this 28 page booklet, all in color too. It's only downsides is Mill Creek Entertainment (I am not a fan of them), and the fact it's a steel book. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Blu-rays, I usually try and grab the plastic cases if I can because visually they appeal to me, I remember one time I got into a discord argument with some communist about the casing looking bad or whatever. It looks fine as it and that entire argument was stupid. The other was a steal too. Kijû Yoshida's Love + Anarchism. It's a 3 movie pack consisting of Eros + Massacre, Heroic Purgatory & Coup d'Etat. I've never seen any of these titles but I did some research on Love + Anarchism and it's titles look absolutely stunning, albeit all in black & white and looks pretty washed out too in some sections (from testing the discs) but nonetheless they look great and I can't wait to watch them. The title themselves are really long through, with the long clocking in at 3 hours and I think 30 minutes? It's minute count is 215 so please someone translate that for me and tell me in the comments, I'm not entirely sure. The shortest is at 1 hour and 48 minutes. These titles look absolutely great though as I said so I can't wait to get to them. I orded Sailor Suit and Machine Gun this morning, a title I've been wanting to watch for a long time and just decided to buy the Blu-ray since I had the money. I have so many titles in my want list I've been holding off on for AGES now, like years on my want list. I always have the money for it too but I never buy it in order of other titles I want that look interesting. I've been really into Japanese media recently, I plan on starting the Azumanga anime after watching a YouTube video about it and a friend finishing up the manga inspired me to do it (shout-out Matt). Yesterday I was talking with a neighbor after doing lawn work for them and they brought up the fact rich people used to get away with things back then as they would now and it made me realize how flawed the system is, but that's another passionate rant for another day, I'm on a time limit here I can't write a novel about what I think is right and wrong, as much as I want to, that's not feasible right now! I have to get going anyways so I hope you enjoyed reading this, see ya next post.

LOONA Archive!

It's been a really, really long time has it? Well, I'm back for right now and I plan on making a lot more posts, but I feel I should at least do some shameless plugging to get back into the groove of things. I have an archive.org account! Yeah, I didn't really use it much until very recently, as the only uploads were a few Takashi Miike films and the updated version of JPEGMAFIA's LP!, however there was a recent discovery that's insane and I feel I should mention. Ever since Blockberry Creative kicked out Chuu from LOONA, there has been a pretty big boycott against the company and I decided to use that opportunity to my advantage and finally use my archive.org account some more! I really love to archive things greatly, as well as storage related things, I thought it would be best to pretty much download as much as I can from the official YouTube channel and to upload it. I realize though, the uploads are very sporadic so I thought I can make a list of what links to

Goals for 2023 + Life and Blog "Update"

Hey, it's been a while hasn't it? Well, I figured it'd be nice to give a little update about life in general, and some extra information. I turned 18 recently, I'm an adult now, it feels sureral, honestly. I must admit, I am a child of the internet, so most things that I can do now I've already been doing but I will admit, there is a sense of power that comes with it but admittedly it doesn't really mean much to me, it's just cool and a little bit scary I can go out and buy a house (Realistically that will never be possible in today's economy). I wanna apologize for the lack of posts recently, I've been caught up in real life and some extra stuff on the side to want to make a post, that and I had no clear idea of what I wanted to write about regardless, outside of the LOONA archive I did. Oh yeah, LOONA! I never really gave my thoughts on it, but it's pretty clear where I stand. I'm upset, disgusted and not shocked. I swear there's so muc

Godzilla's Various American Titles

-
If you're a fan of Godzilla any you might be aware that in the 1950s to 1990s that a LOT of the films were renamed to appeal to western audiences (a prime example being Godzilla Raids Again being renamed to Gigantis, The Fire Monster ) and it can get pretty confusing, as nowadays these films are mostly referred to by their original names, so I'm creating this post to one, help myself be familiar with these names so if I see them in the future I'm aware of what's what, and second, I figured I can turn this process into a fun blog post, since it's something I'm very passionate about (Godzilla) and if someone is gonna do it, it's gonna be me, so let's begin! Please note that I will be excluding bootlegs. This will also be a very short post as I wanted to make up for the lack of posts over the last few weeks, so I hope you also don't mind that.  The first film to mention here is of course, the original 1954 Godzilla film, now this one is a bit of a doo
