Weekly Kaiju Movie Thread #63: Oooh, Options!

Postby Alpha OTS » Tue Sep 03, 2013 6:45 pm

Super Inframan (1975) - One day we will indulge in the crazy insane madness that is Super Inframan. Perhaps this will be the time?

The Blob (1958) - Not to be confused with the immovable Frederick J. Dukes.

Battleship Yamato (2010 live action) - Toho studios brings the old animated TV series to live action!

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) - Obligatory Harryhausen entry, and a Sinbad movie that tends to be overlooked.

Godzilla (1998 aka GINO) - You wanted the G factor? Well you got it, buster!

And in celebration of our move to SciFiJapan, I tweaked the way the poll works because I have the option. :lol: Which may turn out to be the bestest idea ever, or may turn out to be a complete disaster, in which case, I blame Konga.

Gee, and here I went and suffered through GINO just a few weeks ago...

I actually really like that Sinbad movie, so it got my vote. My second vote went to GINO - mostly just to see how long I can stand it before I turn it off.

I was actually planning to watch Super Inframan this weekend. Just got it on DVD and figured it would make for a good friends over for movie night since I've never seen it

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger got my vote. It's my least-favorite Harryhausen Sinbad flick, but it's one of only two movies on this list that I have copies of, making it ever-so-convenient.

Most people only voting once, or perhaps saving a vote for later to turn the tide?

I tried to "save" my second vote, but it looks like you have to place both votes at the same time

you could have cast 2 votes at the time of voting. if you only cast one vote it only counts as one vote, so you cant vote twice for the same thing

I own all these films, and I enjoy 4 of the 5. But seeing Yamato here for the first time, Gotta support that even if the film was a little disappointing, its still a solid sci-fi film in itself
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.

I voted Yamato and Super Inframan, which were no match for the Harryhausen effect. Let the Sinbadding commence!

O.Supreme, interested in taking this week?
