Randall D. Larson, former editor of "Soundtrack!" magazine, highly-respected and noted film music critic, wrote: Hi August - am appreciative of your commentary track on GAMERA VS BARUGON, which arrived today. Great background on the film and so glad to see it treated with respect for a change! Thanks for mentioning Kinoshita and his score... love your in-harmony a-capella grenade commentary, which is running even as we speak!

I ordered mine direct from Shout a couple days ago, and if the order info is correct it shipped yesterday. I'm a sucker for bonus items like those postcards!

I watched this movie for the first time since having it from way back in July. I've just been really busy. It's a great movie, very colourful at times too. The soundtrack was great, and the characters were actually quite interesting, sometimes more interesting than the monsters themselves.
The only weird thing to me is Gamera's absence from most of the film... it seemed they drew out the many strategies as much as they could before Gamera got back into it again.
