Well, as I have been absolutely lax beyond belief at posting, I think I will try again except this time I am planning on delving into the realm of movies. Something my dear old friend Charlie Kinslow and I used to chat about now and again. That man is not only a complete saint but knows a total ton about cinema - old and new.
Today, on the summer solstice of 2012, I find myself watching the ever amazing Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla - with the amazing line "Godzilla put a curse on Japan!". Now, I have no idea why, of the tons of movies I am able to watch at this moment, why this one came to the forefront. While moving through this Roku box, all I could do was smile when this title slid into view.
Earlier, I sat through two residents of the bottom of the movie barrel (depending on which barrel you are looking through) - Marked for Death (with the ever present Sho Kosuge as the Japanese ninja battling the mob) and American Ninja 4 (with martial artist(?) Michael Dudikoff). 'Sayonara' boredom; 'ohayou gozaimasu' fun midsummer night!
I will make a sincere effort to make a post daily with some movie or thought that runs through my head. After trying some new medicine, I will admit to having more energy and motivation to begin this endeavor again. I know one of my flaws is being afraid to put myself out there lest the past creep up on me. All I can say is that the past is behind and tomorrow is ahead. The only thing anyone can do to make recompense for the past is to be the best one can be each new day.
With that - I relax and allow this film to whisk me away to the year 1999 - and watch Godzilla wreck havoc once again. Cheers until next time!
