Or at least the blog theme did, as we’re now running the Atahualpa theme now because of the customizing things I can do to it. That means we’ll be playing around with the layout for the next few days. And maybe get rid of those stupid berries up top and replace it with a rubber monster or something. It depends on how often I can get control of the computer. Enjoy, criticize, complain, all that jazz…

Agon the Atomic Dragon (Review)
Agon the Atomic Dragon
aka Maboroshi no Daikaiju Agon
1968
Directed by Norio Mine and Fuminori Ohashi
Agon the Atomic Dragon began as a 1964 TV miniseries Maboroshi no Daikaiju Agon (Giant Phantom Monster Agon) produced by Nippon Denpa Eiga (Japan Radio Pictures), but a four year argument with the sponsors of the show delayed it airing until 1968. The four shows were combined into a movie in the 1990s, and that is where most Western audiences became familiar with it.
The four episodes are titled:
Agon Appears – Part 1
Agon Appears – Part 2
A Dangerous Situation – Part 1
A Dangerous Situation – Part 2
The Agon monster suit was created by Fuminori Ohashi, a protégé of Eiji Tsuburaya. The suit was modified with sabretooth fangs and resurfaced on the first episode of The Space Giants as Dinosaur, and was then brought back as Aron for episodes 13-16. And that is the end of Agon. More information here.
Agon was released on dvd in Japan, so swim to Japan and pick up a copy. Or order it from the internet. Or if you are in Japan, then just go to the local DVD store and head past the many many many aisles of anime porn until you reach the giant monster rows and it should be there. Somewhere.

Rumors of Godzilla getting restarted
Godzilla might be getting rebooted in the US, as rumors have hit the net with almost no sources, so I am not holding my breath, both because of the vague details and because the previous American Godzilla was beyond horrible. I shall just sort of pay attention to this unless something real emerges. Legendary Pictures is the American company.
Thanks to Avery for the heads up!
Review of Raging Phoenix at WiseKwai
Wise Kwai’s Thai Film Journal has a review up of Jeeja Yanin Wismistananda’s new film Raging Phoenix (Jija Deu Suay Du). Jeeja is also going by “Jija” Wismistananda, which is like the fifth name for her so far. The review isn’t that positive, and is more disappointed at the wasted potential.

Wingnut Web – Resistnet.com Be Prepared Edition
Resistnet.com continues to be a joke filled with whiners. And someone has stolen most of their caps lock keys. It must be Obama! As the health care debate rages on and mobs of angry old people mob around and lower the public discourse to sub-sewer levels, Resistnet is right in the thick of it cheering them on and taking full credit. And they haven’t stopped posting dumb things on other subjects, either. So let’s go through Resistnet’s vaults one more time before we set Wingnut Web’s eyes on new targets…

Gas mask? What the hell does Mel Frost think is going to happen? What is Mel Frost going to do on 9/12? Time to call the FBI again…
That’s it for now, Resistnet.com continues to be the jokiest joke who ever joked. But the punchline is sadness.
