Congrats on being the first to notice (not that I have a long posting history here or anything.) I go back and forth on it, honestly. Is it totally exploitative shit in places? Yep. Does it also have some moments of if not brilliance at least interest? I think so.

The It's My Birthday Thread.

I was thinking the same.

Hadn't heard about the score. Oh man, you just made my day, I think.

Doesn't it?

The Gamera series as a whole gets pretty crazy. (My favorite moment: Gamera vs. Zigra. After defeating Zigra, Gamera plays his own theme music on Zigra's back like a xylophone.) Lots of kaiju fans shit on the series because of that, but I think it's a ton of fun. Now the 90s Gamera movies are serious business and some…

I'm assuming you've seen the Japanese cut of the first Gamera movie too. While I agree with you that the US version has way too much sitting around talking and the TV talk show bits are terrible, at least they got one thing right. The Japanese version has some English speaking non-actors playing the army guys and they…

RE: Talking Heads. I really love Naked. It may be more of a David Byrne solo album in disguise, I really don't know. I just feel it kind of gets overlooked as it was their last album, didn't really have any radio hits and was kind of different sounding. I think the best way to experience the Talking Heads is to go in…

Does watching a bunch of episodes of Snapped and drinking beer count?

Fondly remember Pele and I too kind of trust Aaron Turner's taste. Looking good there.

Was a band here, Indiana, who called them selves the Neenah Foundry. Got sued for that and changed the spelling, though I can't remember how.

Really? My mom had had that record and I heard it a lot growing up. Good stuff in that 60's AM light psych sunshine pop thing.

I'm from Indianapolis. More so than Wes Montgomery (though it's close), I'd put it at one, fairly obscure 45 released in the late 60's and rediscovered in the early 2000's. That record would be "Funky 16 Corners" by The Highlighters. You may not have heard it, and if you haven't, I'd recommend you do immediately.…

I'd watch the hell out of Andre the Giant as Jimmy Stewart.

"but it will also focus solely on the years just before Hendrix’s career took off, when he was just a cool guy with an afro playing cover songs that the film’s producers had more luck getting the rights to."

I'd totally buy the Ghidorah version.

I love unintentionally bad films, but the intentionally bad movie thing was played out when Troma started doing it years ago. Can we just not, please?

It's just a big button that says "nope".

I hope they get DMX to redo the theme song.

No, he's "one of the good ones" don't you see?
