I love all things tokusatsu and kaiju with a focus on the Toho and Ultra side of things.

In 1984 Toho released 11 VHS tapes in the Toho Kaiju and SF Encyclopedia (東宝怪獣・SF 大百科) series. Each tape consisted of three 10-minute digest versions of classic Toho movies edited directly by Ishiro Honda himself (including the movies he didn't direct) and supervised by Tomoyuki Tanaka. It's truly impressive how many movies they were able to fit in considering even movies like Half Human and Invisible Man were included.
Leading up to the release of Godzilla Minus One in 2023 select screenings were held of four movies hand-picked by Takashi Yamazaki himself that inspired Godzilla Minus One. This was 山崎貴 セレクション ゴジラ上映会.
I think it would be apt, especially with who we now know Godzilla is fighting, to watch all of these leading up to the release of Godzilla Minus Zero.

I've been extremely inactive as of late. I plan on going to G-Fest in 3 weeks! Don't know when I'll be more active, but just know I'm still around. :)
Man I'm really holding out for that boxset...

She happens to be the sister of Lady Ukyo (Noriko Watanabe). However, choosing death over shame, Kagaribi commits suicide.

“There’s a lack of cynicism to Speed Racer, and there’s a certain emotional wholesomeness. I feel like, you know, with a lot of the more modern superhero Marvel stuff, there’s like these grains of cynicism and self conscious humor. It’s like in order to be cool it sort of has to make fun of itself first, and Speed Racer didn’t have any of that. Speed completely meant every word he said, and I feel like especially now in this day and age it totally resonates with people.”
“James Gunn’s Superman was such a wonderful movie. I mean you can see the influences there for sure. That type of ultra imaginative visual aesthetic.”
-Emile Hirsch, THEE Speed Racer
