As part of SFDebris’ review of Godzilla 1985, which is also posted in this link, Chuck also goes into the history of the first movie’s US alteration, Godzilla, King Of The Monsters. In the video, he shows were the first one actually succeeded quite well, while 1985 did the same thing in theory but completely botched the whole thing. He also briefly goes into why Godzilla 1985 (or The Return Of Godzilla) rebooted the series, not condemning the focus to kids per se but highlighting the flaws that came with it.
Also, he takes a shot at Godzooki because it’s harder for me to find someone else who DOESN’T hate the little guy. I know like one other person.
We’re back to multiple chapters in this book. I’m not sure when or if there will be another full-length chapter but I’m prepared for that. At any rate, the bombing happened, but now it’s time to deal with the aftermath and find the guilty party. We have four chapters again in which to move the story along.
So I’m guessing we’ll be checking in with our bad guys. I wonder how old Eyepatch is doing?

Jackson Arn of Artsy writes about Kawanabe Kyōsai, the 15th-century artist whose work he claims is partly responsible for Japanese comics (aka manga).
No, that’s actually why I started doing Captain Yuletide.
And since I am working on Christmas stuff there won’t be any Clutter Reports until the new year. Hopefully there will be a comic and a video but I’m a bit behind at the moment. As usual. I did see an episode of Miraculous: The Adventures Of Ladybug & Cat Noir in which Christmas is threatened so Paris is doing better than America on this front. But there is Captain Yuletide. If I get it done in time, that is.
I’m also not sure what I’m going to write about in the feature articles this week and there’s no big news in the comic reviews, so nothing to update either. So I’ll just get back to work.
Yes, long time readers, I know I’ve done this one before, but this time I have a new link from what I think is an official site. I’ve also done a review, which I’ll add at the bottom just for fun, but I did just add closed captions. It is a timeless Christmas classic, although one I’m not sure everyone remembers.
The Little Drummer Boy is a song from 1941 by teacher and composer Katherine Davis, first recorded a decade later by the Von Trappe family, and made most popular in 1958 by the Vienna Boys Choir, who sing the song here and if memory serves put me in a Content ID fight with YouTube when I posted the review. (I won because it’s a review.) Originally titled “Carol Of The Drum”, it tells a short tale of a boy who has no gift for the newborn Jesus but plays a song on his drum to make him smile, a song from the heart. Rankin Bass expanded on the song to show why playing a drum would be so important, because at first the boy didn’t have a heart to play with.
