Remembering the late, great Akira Takarada on what would’ve been his 90th birthday. To say Takarada-san was a gift to the Godzilla franchise would be an understatement. From his onscreen performances to his passion for the fans, he was a true class act. We’ll miss him always.
I received a lot of kind feedback for my CNN spot. Thanks all! It came about suddenly but everyone at CNN was super nice, so I did my best under the circumstances. As I always try to convey, those Godzilla sets were incredible. Very real, very tangible. I miss that wonderful era!

I contributed an essay for this set. I hope people enjoy the release when it’s out!
An essay I wrote for @christandpc some months ago about the depiction of an individual’s faith of Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “The Passion of Joan of Arc” (1928). christandpopculture.com/faith-as-drama…
My love for Kaiju films cannot be overstated. The imagination, creativity, and brilliance that went into these films are unparalleled. Even their posters are mad fun! This one’s for the wonderful 1961 Mothra (directed by the legend, himself, Ishirô Honda).
One year ago, Ed G and I made a pilgrimage to Sotoura Beach, an alluring location in "War of the Gargantuas" that captured my imagination when I first saw the film in 1970. Ah, if only I was 40 years younger, I'd have swum out to that characteristic rock outcrop.

Picked up a copy of a "Godzilla X MG" & "Tokyo SOS" combo mook after Matt @TokusatsuVlog alerted me that my "Tokyo SOS" bit part as an Air Force guy has its own entry. Been getting books like this for decades but it's my first time to be in one.

"I always like to think of the audience when I am directing. Because I am the audience." — Steven Spielberg A good example of this is the ferry scene from Jaws, which showcases Spielberg's creative camera work and detailed staging.
Last Saturday would have been my dad's 103rd birthday. I found this website tonight about writer Thomas Pynchon, which appears to list people Pynchon came in contact with. My dad impressed Pynchon with his jazzer tales and his time at the Battle of Midway. shorturl.at/szQT9

Super kind and was genuinely touched to learn my mom and I drove 6 hours to see him.
Today we remember legendary actor Akira Takarada on what would have been his 90th birthday. One of the most prolific actors in Toho's science fiction films, Takarada was one of only three actors to appear in the Showa, Heisei, and Millennium eras of the GODZILLA series.
Remembering the late, great Akira Takarada on what would’ve been his 90th birthday. To say Takarada-san was a gift to the Godzilla franchise would be an understatement. From his onscreen performances to his passion for the fans, he was a true class act. We’ll miss him always.
I received a lot of kind feedback for my CNN spot. Thanks all! It came about suddenly but everyone at CNN was super nice, so I did my best under the circumstances. As I always try to convey, those Godzilla sets were incredible. Very real, very tangible. I miss that wonderful era!
On this day, 76 years ago, Akira Kurosawa's "Drunken Angel" (1948)- starring Takashi Shimura & Toshirô Mifune was released in Japan.
Happy heavenly 114th birthday to the late, great Tomoyuki Tanaka: prolific producer, overseer of Toho’s Golden Age of sci-fi/fantasy films, and the father of Godzilla who championed and shepherded the Monster King’s career through an amazing 41 years and 22 films. A true legend.
NEW VIDEO! Monsters from the Id goes back to the beginning of the legend with a look at one Godzilla's unsung fathers and two "lost" novels now available in English print for the first time. youtube.com/watch?v=I8iS3x… #Godzilla #ShigeruKayama @jeffreyangles @Danzilla93_GNP
Today is the 126th birthday of one of the greatest #filmdirectors in #JapaneseCinema, #UchidaTomu. Here's the opening scene of Uchida's great A Bloody Spear at Mt. Fuji (1955). Uchida conveys the characters and their relationships with almost no dialogue. youtube.com/watch?v=9dcRFv…
I contributed an essay for this set. I hope people enjoy the release when it’s out!
#NewAnnouncement 🇬🇧 MESSAGE FROM SPACE, the spectacular 1978 sci-fi adventure directed by Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale), is to be released on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, presented from an immaculate restoration.
Miyako has a couple of art pieces on sale at Void in Koenji. Yesterday was the opening of the exhibition, and we dropped by to chill with the other artists and staff.

Last night, Miyako & I went to an Afgan restaurant with pals Kabuki-actor Matsue & director Shusuke Kaneko, who gave us an updated version of his "Days of Gamera" book. After this, we hit Hardcore Chocolate's new place for beer & endless talks about our favorite subject: cinema.

Goodness I love the score for 'Mothra' (1961). Yuji Koseki's work is a majestic and dizzying fantasia, aided by the beautiful voices of Emi and Yumi Ito.
My love for Kaiju films cannot be overstated. The imagination, creativity, and brilliance that went into these films are unparalleled. Even their posters are mad fun! This one’s for the wonderful 1961 Mothra (directed by the legend, himself, Ishirô Honda).

My last book, RING OF FEAR, received another kind write-up on Amazon. This is a collection of every magazine piece I wrote for Fango (and others) during the heyday of the J-horror genre when I'd regularly visit film sets and chat one-on-one with filmmakers. Lots of photos!
