I don’t know if the HPL Historical Society’s quite finished with the physical version yet, but the digital version of their latest Dark Adventure Radio Theater play THE TEMPLE is available. Or at least if you pre-ordered. I’m listening to it now, in fact.
Surprises are awesome.
Guillermo del Toro’s ‘FRANKENSTEIN’ doesn’t look half bad, but… can we maybe get it in black and white? Or – hear me out – black, white… and green? That’d look good, right? That scene in a stark B&W, except for the unholy emerald glow of the Mad Science apparatuses. I think that would pop, visually.
Anyway. Pretty cool.
GODZILLA MINUS ONE seemed to have taken forever to make it over here in physical form – I can only conclude that the studio really wasn’t expecting it to take off as hard in the United States as it did – but we have it now. No digital copy included, but that’s all right. I’ve already watched it on one of the streaming services. No Minus Color version, either, which is less all right. Ach, well.

Look, Henry – I am taking advantage of our shared identity as gamer geeks to use your first name – I understand that the opportunity to be in a Star Wars movie is a strong temptation. And that it’s a opportunity that you might never get again. Still. You remember what happened with The Witcher, right? And the DCU? And the Warhammer 40K project… actually, what did happen with that project? I never heard.
Continue reading Star Wars will break your heart, Henry Cavill.There is a certain bitter irony in the fact that I far more trust a Japanese anime studio to do a better job of making a proper Anne of Green Gables show than I do a Western live-action one. If this is what we’ll be getting, it’ll be delightful. And since this site’s Web Dude has indicated that Anne is Big In Japan, it probably will be what we’ll be getting, at that.
Still: trust, but verify.
Is it weird that this Honest Trailer of MEGALOPOLIS kind of makes me want to see the movie now? I originally did, but then I didn’t, and then I did again. Then I heard the reviews and the audience reaction, which just made me appreciate it as a long, involved ‘it’s my money and I can do what I like with it’ exercise on the director’s part.
Now I dunno.

I’m with @DaddyWarpig on this one. Ryan George may have delved too deep when doing the Pitch Meeting for RINGS OF POWER, although I doubt he did so greedily. I haven’t actually watched this season, and I’m probably not going to, and you can read into that whatever you like.
This would be the annual Christmas/Solstice gift exchange between various members of the HPL Historical Society. If you’re a member, check your email for the sign-up link. If you are not a member, consider joining (I have a lifetime membership, myself). The HPLHS makes great Mythos-related props and materials, in a wide range of media. They are eminently worth supporting.
‘Exceedingly strange‘ in the sense that it is apparently taking seriously the concept that the Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. It’s like a 1950s Technicolor MGM epic or something, and I’m having difficulty parsing it. I kept waiting for the irony to show up.
(Via @DaddyWarpig) This is pretty cool.
