Boob Toob Supplemental: Cancelling the Apocalypse Edition

By Dan Pua

2 bloogs in a week? What's happening to me? Ehh, whatever. Here goes nothing...

----------

Pacific Rim - Official Japanese trailer

Check out Guillermo del Toro do some promotion in Japan for Pacific Rim. (Via Crunchyroll)

Giant monsters love Sydney (or love destroying them)

Check out the above pic for this bloog. Sweet pic but c'mon! What did Sydney ever do to kaiju? I haven't forgotten about the time when crappy US Godzilla came to town and caused havoc. It's all good though, the original Gojira had our backs!

Eu Sou Ciclope

And yet another sign of the apocalypse... check out Scott Summers' music video. "I got the moves like Cyclops..."

Mega Man... is that you?

Music video by Japanese pop girl group Perfume called 未来のミュージアム (or 'Museum of the Future' according to Google Translate). Very comic booky (or manga-y) and also somewhat Mega Man-ish, maybe cos of the music and the Dr Light looking guy at the start.

Giant God Warrior

More giant creatures, more cities getting smashed, and more stuff getting blowed up! I'm talking about Giant God Warrior, Studio Ghibli's new live action Evangelion short film. Yes, the Totoro guys made a live action Evangelion short film. Didn't see that coming! It came as part of the Evangelion 3.33 home release (those animated movies are top notch by the way). No video embeds this time but it's up on Dailymotion if you want to do a search. Below are a couple of screen grabs.

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman!

Check out what I won from the file folks (or folk, I've only ever seen one guy) at GeekOfOz (courtesy of Madman Entertainment).

It's the Battle of the Planets Complete Collection! 85 episodes of goodness spread over 15 discs! Woo hoo! In a nutshell, Battle of the Planets (or Science Ninja Team Gatchaman as it is known in Japan) is about five young 'superhero ninja' who dress up like birds and fight giant monsters and doomsday devices and other nasties that the evil guys threw at them. But that's an oversimplification of the series. According to Wikipedia, the show is "a science fiction action anime" and "recurring themes of Gatchaman involve conservation of nature, environmentalism, and responsible use of technology for progress and advancement." I'm referring a lot to the original anime but they've made numerous changes when they adapted it and I'm looking forward to comparing the two.

For any comic book peeps, there's been a few Battle of the Planets comics which featured covers by Alex Ross. I believe that image above as well as the artwork inside the box are also by Alex Ross and they were probably the images they used as the covers of the comics.

Well that's enough for this installment of Boob Toob Supplemental. See you guys later! Same kaiju time, same kaiju channel.

Boob Toob Supplemental: The Weirdo Edition

S'up Boobers and Toobers! It's been a while but I'm back (it's Dan, by the way) with some Boob Toob Supplemental! Now with more weirdness! First two might be NSFW, might be a good idea to put your headphones on if there's someone else in the room.

Biting Elbows - 'Bad Motherfucker' (Insane Office Escape 2)

Or 'Reservoir Dogs Looking Dudes Doing Crazy Stuff: The Video Game (The Movie)'

I don't think the concept of filming an action sequence like a first person shooter is super unique but I think it's done really well and I like it! Plus bewbs and planes... can't go wrong :)

100 Greatest Nicolas Cage Quotes

This needs no introduction. Also, how awesome would a Nic Cage box set be?

Ask Axe Cop

I've read the comic and I can't believe this is being made as a cartoon. They do the comic like a proper one with a story and everything but they also do these short 'Ask Axe Cop' segments where people (not sure if they're fake people or real people) write letters and Axe Cop answers them.

It's that special kind of weird. Something would happen in the comic and maybe I should feel bad about it but I'm laughing at it which makes me feel even more like I should feel bad because I'm laughing at the thing that maybe I shouldn't be laughing at.

How's that for confusing?

Sydney Festival TV: Rubber Duck 

Super late but I saw this in person back in January. Pretty fun seeing it up close. It's huge! There was a big gust of wind while I was there and it was fun seeing it move around. Here's a bit of background info:

And here are some time lapse videos:

Speaking of time lapse videos...

Building the World's Largest Ship (in 76 seconds)

Less weird and more amazing. I love these sorts of time lapse pics, especially when it involves building something huge. I have the equipment to do this but I've been very lazy and haven't gotten around to doing one.

Taekwondo Spider-Man

Don't know what to say except I was hypnotised. I loved the tatsumaki senpukyaku at the 1 min 32 sec mark.
