(03/18/08 5:29 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	I've posted a story about one of my favorite monster movies of the 1960s, with a rare photo, on my blog at THE GOOD, THE BAD AND GODZILLA, so please check it out. The film screens in San Francisco on Thursday, March 20, as part of "The Monsters Mass Destruction: A Tribute of Eiji Tsuburaya" at Landmark's Clay Theater. Check it out! Discuss the film! Tsuburaya with the 30-foot long Mothra "costume" that required 7-to-8 operators to work.

In fact, MOTHRA will be playing at the Brattle Theater in Boston on April 19th, as part of the '60s Japanese film retrospective, "No Borders, No Limits": http://www.brattlefilm.org/brattlefilm/movie_detail/080419.html August Ragone Author EIJI TSUBURAYA: MASTER OF MONSTERS Blog THE GOOD, THE BAD AND GODZILLA Organizer SHOCK IT TO ME!

I would love to see MOTHRA on the big screen but I would also like to see THE WARPED ONES as well. In fact, Tim Lucas wrote in his blog last summer about THE WARPED ONES, aka: THE WEIRD LOVEMAKERS, and it sounded really interesting.

Also got to see KING KONG vs GODZILLA and again, the Toho sci fi films don't so much play on a theatre screen as erupt from it. I can only hope when my daughter gets a little older that old films such as these will be getting some theatrical play,as i couldn't imagine a greater thrill than watching them with her.

I've noticed that most monster classics play better on the big screen. Would love to see the Tohos that way.
