the moyai statue is still worth checking out, even if the smokers in the area will go out of their way to make sure you don' t stay a long time. given the situation there, i think the hachiko statue will continuous its reign as the reigning champ of shibuya .
i had a quick chat with takano - san after the show. he did a great job, as did the entire cast. there was quite a bit of fight choreography in the play, and given the amount of fighting happening on the stage at any given time, i' m a bit surprised there weren' t a few close calls. who knows - - maybe there were !

on saturday, july 7, i was privileged to attend a rare screening of a 35mm print of varan the unbelievable (1958), which turns 60 this year. the print itself had obviously seen better days, as it was rather scratched up and jumpy. but given that i' d never seen a film print of the japanese version before, it was nonetheless great to see .
today i attended a screening of the movie gmk: giant monsters all - out attack (2001). it was the first time i' d seen the movie in many years. if i recall correctly, the last time i saw the film was at a screening at usc in january 2004. so it' d been over 13 years, and i' d imagine it was a good time to revisit it. even though gmk was the source of a lot ridiculous and over - the - top fan wars in the early 2000s, i was finally able to watch the flick on its own merits and separate it from all the fan - generated nonsense of that era .
the event also celebrated sfx director eiji tsuburaya' s birthday, so a few of his colleagues and contemporaries were on hand for the event. keiko suzuki was toho' s sfx scripter who worked alongside eiji tsuburaya for toho' s special effects spectaculars from the late 1950s through the end of the' 60s. she brought her script for

suffice it to say, it was another great event, and i couldn' t think of a better way to celebrate the legacy of eiji tsuburaya. can' t wait to do it all over again !

despite the title on the cover, scorpion’s single - layer, progressive, anamorphic widescreen 1. 78: 1 transfer features the film’s reissue title pigeons. there are some scratches throughout but the print is generally clean (with the exception of the usual reel change damage), and the grain looks natural. the dolby digital 2. 0 mono audio is clean with all of the location audio, post - dubbed audio, voiceovers, and score coming through cleanly. there are no film - specific extras; however, there are the usual bundle of scorpion trailers including puppet on a chain, quest for love, super spook, follow me and sweet william.

re - read this for the first time in well over thirty years, and was surprised how much of the dialogue i remembered (although i had mentally re - assigned one joke to a pynchon novel). .
it was a great afternoon and well worth braving the sweltering heat and humidity. i certainly hope to have a chance to meet ota - san again .
one of my favorite horror movies has long been evil of dracula (1974), and i think a good case can be made for it as the best of director michio yamamoto' s bloodthirsty trilogy. she played student yukiko mitamura in evil of dracula, as well as blue jaguar on the tv series giant iron man 17 (1977) from episode 22 through 35. she also appears in shohei imamura' s why not? (1981) .

jonathan has graduated from princeton, but drives a cab in new york for a living. he seems to have little to know ambitions, hanging out with his buddy robert walden and dating a woman who lives in the same apartment building. the main character in this flick is immensely unlikable, which pretty much makes the film unlikable because next to nothing happens. william redfield (

) plays his step father and elaine stritch has a cameo as a party guest .

ota - san had some of her art on display at the tokyo metropolitan art museum in ueno, and i decided to pay her a visit. we had a nice chat about her acting career and other topics. she was surprised to learn that i' m an american from california, saying that i looked like a british gentleman .
the interview lasted several hours and focused a great deal on his early years. i certainly learned a lot, and once it' s published, so will you! stay tuned .

it was a great evening, and the event itself was much different from the types i usually attend. marie' s soprano singing was terrific, but there were times i was fully expecting all the wine glasses in the room to break. what a powerful voice! tatsumi - san was also great to meet. let' s do it again !

after reading up on it, i noticed that a few travel websites seem bemused by the fact that it' s not as well known a meeting place in shibuya as the hachiko statue (from which it sits just a few meters away on the station' s southwest side). well, i could offer up my own explanation. the smoking section is situated literally right next to the statue, and when i was there, several smokers couldn' t be bothered to stay in their designated smoking area. they blatantly lit up and puffed away while sitting right next to the statue. in order to get away from the stench, i had to stand next to the nearby bus stop. so much for using it as a meeting place .
i had the privilege of meeting mr. shimotsuka in june 2016 and hoped that our paths would eventually cross again. rest in peace, mr. shimotsuka .
it has its pros and cons. many scenes are well directed and show real flair. some of the actors are quite good. it' s certainly an ambitious film that tries its best to tell an intriguing story. to that extent, it undoubtedly has merit. on the other hand, however, there are still several glaring flaws. the sfx don' t hold up very well, the story bogs down in too much spiritual mumbo jumbo, the monsters just don' t look very good and aren' t given much to do when they battle, etc. i won' t go into all the problems i had with the picture because there really isn' t much need, and i don' t feel like nitpicking the film. to be honest, i enjoyed the movie more this time than i ever had in the past. i' m glad i saw it again with a fresh mindset. i can appreciate the positive while at the same time acknowledging the negative .
borderline interminable coming - of - age / romantic comedy set in nyc on the cusp of the ‘70s, starring jordan christopher (fresh off the bonkers angel, angel, down we go) as a young, cynical cab driver. his internal monologue is very heavy - handed; there’s no escape from his half - assed sarcasm. a few inspired moments creep through, mostly in the scenes with his love interest (downstairs neighbor jill o’hara, who apparently never starred in another movie), but this is rightfully lost to time, a miserable little indie with hardly anything meaningful to say for itself. once again i am forced to wonder what the hell these people do for fun. you live in nyc, francis grasso is djing somewhere, come on already .

on wednesday, i met a friend of mine in front of shibuya station' s moyai statue. when i arrived there, i realized that i pass this statue rather often and don' t even realize it! despite looking like something from easter island (or even seatopia), i suppose it' s a bit easy to miss if you aren' t looking for it .
three special guests joined the event to reminisce about their work on the film. first up is suitmaker fuyuki shinada. he built biollante in
. he first mentioned this figure in my 2004 interview with him, and he said it again at an event in 2012. given the possibility of translation errors, and since a much smaller number of octopuses has been reported elsewhere in english, i couldn' t be quite sure. but he reiterated that number last night. and who would know better than nakano - san himself ?

(for one thing, the black lizard was played by an actual woman in this version! )

i' m pleased to announce that on wednesday, july 4, i had the privilege of interviewing legendary composer chumei watanabe at his home in tokyo. watananbe - san began his film - composing career at shintoho in the late 1950s, working on several nobuo nakagawa films, most notably ghost of yotsuya (1959) and hell (1960). watanabe - san returned to tokusatsu in the late 1960s with his scores to 100 monsters (1968) and along with ghosts (1969). watanabe - san would later achieve international fame with his scores to various anime and live - action tokusatsu tv programs. the 92 - year - old composer stays busy to this day .
i also met keiichi hasegawa, who was a writer on ultraman nexus. however, his biggest credit in the u. s. is penning gmk: giant monsters all - out attack (2001). he was also quite friendly to speak with .
after the movie, it was dinnertime! the conversation with nakano - san was quite enlightening, as it always is. as hard as it is to see, nakano - san once again confirmed that
about 30
octopuses were used in
