^ Yes! The little moment of dignity Furiosa gives the small war boy when he dies. The old lady ghoul underground offering (from her point if view) sanctuary to Furiosa. The Octoboss caring about his...

Something I really love about Miller and what makes his world really click for me is this incredible empathy he has for human beings, even when they're horrible freaks living in the worst nightmare...

I certainly intend to personally save the box office in the next few weeks by seeing Furiosa multiple times (as well as the Ghost in the Shell 2 re-release).

There's nothing quite like the sensation of getting out of a movie theater and immediately wanting to go back into the threater to see the movie again. Thankful to have experienced it quite a few...

I'm absolutely astounded. I'm not a huge believer in prequels and such unnecessary lore extensions. Most of it's just milking the thing you already love with little to justify its own existence, and...

^ Ah, that's actually published by Fantagraphics. That covers the first decade if the book. Now you can go straight to the "Usagi Yojimbo Saga" omnibus paperbacks. Those will take you all the way up...

Well, at least if you get the 1st Fantagraphics special you have those Albedo stories collected into a single issue - plus a new story, so it's essential anyway for a collection.

^ Wait until you get to the real kaiju movie homage storyline!

Okay, so I've been buying single issues of Usagi since just after the mid '00s. Since then I've accumulated, here and there, about a half dozen back issues from before my time, Dark Horse, Mirage,...

Looks gorgeous.

The production for this is nuts: Shannon Tindle has been trying to make this movie for two decades, but originally it was an homage to tokusatsu - not Ultraman; original character...

Icon.

His influence is so wide-ranging, but I still gotta go to that '60s period of technicolor horror films he directed starring Vincent Price (and sometimes Ray Milland). Those films have such...

Escape is awesome. Catches you off guard with the tone change then shifts on you again!

Looks fine, but... it kinda just reminds me of the last 15 years of superhero suit designs. I feel like now's the time for something stylistically different?

If you have a chance to see Alien '79 before it leaves theaters do it. Fantastic big screen experience.

When you look at pop culture history you'll see that it's always a temporary thing when the entire industry bends to one genre. Superhero movies and shows are here to stay, but the days of 6 or 7 or...

Feel like a certain amount of time has to elapse, like two decades to get a sense if it's set in?

But even that might be expediated; LotR frequently reaired on TV, often in holiday marathons, and...

^ A beauty of the series is that Usagi is a traveler with an expansive cast who often don't meet one another (for a while), so when Stan decides to pair Usagi with another character for an extended...

Wandered if there was any Usagi news I missed and found this article on the SDCC panel last July...

Please; practical creature effects! Bring back the Henson Creature Shop. Brian Henson supervised the groundbreaking work in the first movie - he's still working!

Has anyone mentioned the fight between Jackie and Benny in Wheels on Meals?

Went to my local shop to pick up the latest Usagi issue and the clerk got a real kick out of the fact I only bought one thing and was a wearing an Usagi t-shirt at the time!

Sadly, I got knocked off my usual comic reading schedule these last couple of years (sometime after my last post here) and am now catching up on Usagi. I hope to be fully caught up and back to...

Well, Legendary has to license Toho monsters on a case by case bases. As a matter of fact, although this film always intended to use Mothra, they weren't sure they'd be able to use her, so the...

Splitting them up to do Kong and Godzilla solos would be my preference.

Godzilla is a very difficult character to write for. Kong is more human and can communicate with humans. Mothra and Gamera communicate in some way with humans, and Gamera is a perrineal underdog who...
