Karate Robo Zaborgar
To call the remake of Denjin Zaborgar "interesting" is putting it mildly, and "spoof" doesn't even come close. It certainly is faithful to the original in terms of characters. Noboru Iguchi took every mannerism and character attribute (even gestures) and amplified or exaggerated them. It's pretty obvious this guy has a background as a porn director even with his films....lots of boob weaponry. The action scenes with Zaborgar were pretty cool, as was the suit. The actions scenes with Daimon...well, they didn't change much from the original...pretty cheesy. The kept the music from the original.....great 70's toku soundtrack. Definitely worth a watch, even if just for the bizarreness.
"My Travels in Japan"
I found this fellow's antique photo blog the other day and it is pretty sweet! Is his name really Abraham Lincoln? I dunno, but it makes me want to go find my old scrapbook . . .
Pass the Sushi Plate
My mind boggles at a lot of the things I see lately, but I appreciate the ingenuity on display right here.
Serious Childhood Flashback
I was never quite sure whether I was imagining this show or if it was in fact real, but thanks to the magic of YouTube I can at least re-live what I *imagine* to have remembered from my sickly childhood.
This here's an ending singalong clip from "Wonderama", a syndicated kids show from God Knows When. At some point this show transmogrified into "Kids Are People Too", which was sort of a "Gong Show'-meets-'That's Incredible" for kids, as I recall.
Shit, I'm glad some of you people are older than me and might remember this stuff--posting this to Facebook would likely elicit blank stares...
