Jesus, lookit all the outraged But I'm A Nice Guys your reply brought out of the woodwork.

The creator and author of the manga is being coy even now about the ultimate "meaning" of the Titans, but the plot is basically this: the Earth is overrun by weird superpowered man-eating giants that generally seem to have only marginal intellect. What remains of humanity has walled itself up in a "ghetto" and largely…

Nice twist on the old "your intolerance of my intolerance just shows you're intolerant" nonsense; the "we" bit is the really funny part. Very convincing. Never seen it before.

Too bad she wasn't a master of tobacco.

THANK you. There's a reason why I split my sides giggling at Irwin Allen's The Swarm twice a year but never watched The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra again.

Max's Ming is awesome, but Klytus is why I watch it over and over. Peter Wyngarde is Best Doctor Doom. Have you seen the trailer? For the first thirty seconds it's just these two VO'ing over a sci-fi gunsight being drawn over (a cheesy miniature) Earth and I swear I almost came.

IIRC, the novelization revealed that NYC was evacuated after a terrorist attack—nerve gas release—and no one wanted to go back into Manhattan after all the "scumbags" left behind seized control. It was simply easier to blow the bridges and re-purpose the island than reclaim it by force.

This is Gappa, of "Monster From A Prehistoric Planet" (or just "Gappa" nowadays). It was a "Gorgo"-style story (with elements of "Mothra" tossed in) in which a monster is captured and hauled away to the modern world, only to have its much-larger parents pop up and come to its rescue.

Yeah, I hate Johnny for being such a turd. Even if he didn't read up on the delivery and destination, once he saw the size of the package he should've AT LEAST put two and two together and stopped walking around.

So much love for JL8, once I finally took a peek. Diana's b-day party was just wonderful.

Obligatory:

THIS PICTURE GAVE ME OVARIES

So where the hell is my Mystery Porno Theater 3000 in which a smart young lady (and her mid-film replacement) is trapped in space with a gang of sassy puppets and forced to review the worst porn ever made?

I'm going to second this right up to the last four words. Shusuke Kaneko's Gamera trilogy is a frikkin' wonderwork, but it's also a typical trilogy: the first one is amazing, the second one is mind-blowingly, epically amazing, and the third one is really good but a tad overcooked and sluggy because they used up all…

Forgive me if someone's already posted this (my New Kinja Experience is equal parts Drano and Chewing Tinfoil), but SomethingAwful did a hilarious set of "Choose Your Own Adventure Books That Never Quite Made It."

"Shit, my glasses slipped." "DON'T TAKE YOUR HELMET OFF, FOOL!" "But...my glasses. I need them." *psssssh*

Fair enough. Wrath of Khan is much more of a Star Wars knockoff than a ST:TMP sequel.

Also, the addition of and show-stealing by Nightcrawler helped dispel the feeling of "Beautiful Super-Mostly-Caucasians versus the Hideous Evil Uggos" that sat on the first one's head, farting all over its own purported message.

Ha ha ha, Lucky Star?
