"It's only a rabbit."
That's no ordinary rabbit! Look at the booones!

wait a minnit! ya know joels collapsing waste bin. i know its a ga, but i actually have a real one that i use for garden compost. it basically starts squished the way his does, and then as you slowly fill it up it gets taller, and the theres this little hole at the bottom to get ya compost out of. but yeah, thats a real thing now. i wonder if someone saw this, and thought ''ya know what, thats actually a good idea'' and now makes a collapsible bin load of cash from collapsible bins. i alo like the face hugger pacifier from a few eps back, i think they would be awesome.

every time a gamera film comes on and i hear his name in my head, for some reason, his name reminds me of the canadian national anthem. now i'm not a poet....or canadian...but i thought i'd have a go at a Gamera national anthem.

This one is by far the best of the Gamera movies. Between the football head alien space babes with southern drawls, to the Swiss Army Head villain, to just giving up on the grownups completely, and doing a Gamera movie that focused on the kids, and giving up any pretense of it being an adult movie, to the "Hirohito Gamera" song, everything about this one works.

Okay... At no time in any movie or TV show in the history of entertainment (I would imagine it goes all the way back to the old Globe Theatre in Shakespearean times, as well) has it worked to yell, "Let me out!" or "Let us out of here!" when being imprisoned by kidnappers, aliens, etc. Do they think their captors will stop and think for a minute and go, "You know, you're right. Come on out of there. I'm sorry." Do you think those demands have EVER been made in a real-life situation? And if so, have they ever been effective? And have I seriously spent way too much time thinking about this?

On my recent viewing, it occurred to me that the reason "Brother" is so concerned with traffic accidents is that the kids' absent father perished in one. If so, it's a nifty (though poignant) bit of screenwriting.
Of course, it could also just be a residue of the sandyfrankization process.

Well, I think it's clear that this film was the product of a junior school challenge to write a script for a film. And basically a bunch of 8-10 year olds competed like crazy .. Shame and Suicides were high but in the end a movie script was created by some 30 students, polished by Coleman Francis and submitted to a movie studio who then said "Meh!, what's the worst that can happen?"
Even without the dubbing I imagine this film is pretty fucking brainless. I know it's aimed at kids and such but damn! It doesn't have to suck such large donkey balls .. Yet it does, and with considerable talent and practise!!
I just love the way Gamera just happens to show up .. Like "oh hey, here's Gamera". Seems the movie makers realized after filming a bunch of stuff that they'd forgotten to add the principle character.
So here's to the room full of chimps that wrote this load of bollocks! We salute you .. And then flush your head down a toilet!

Just to explain the obscure joke near the end. "Stop her, she's got my keyboard!" That's a reference to Mike. He had an ex-girlfriend who took his keyboard and never gave it back. How the people watching at home were supposed to get this is beyond me and I only know because of Google. So nice watching this show in 2014. It must have been frustrating to not get a reference and have no way to look it up instantly.

In this film, the boys fly to the planet Terra, where alien babes explain to them that the planet is exactly opposite the Earth, so out of our view behind the sun. In Stranded in Space, Neil crash lands on a planet called Terra that Earth can't see because it's exactly on the other side of the sun. Interesting coincidence!
