Oi, Ghidorah!

While I wanted to record another podcast at the beginning of the week, we've had some real turbulence in my family and I've been a little pre-occupied searching through shit to even lift the camera. Couldn't finish the review I started working on. Just been going to work and coming home to my trailer and just being puzzled at how all of this shit had happened.

I did manage to buy a Vivitar DVR785HD. This is a small little bastard. You could easily fit this little bastard in your pocket and still have room to fit your wallet in once you take it out of the underwater/protective casing which comes with it. I managed to pick it up at Target for a good $25. Only problem is that now I have to get a microSD card for it. Since it's that small, I can't put my regular SDHC card in it. After I saw this little camera, I knew I had to get it for a plot device in the next movie I am going to be shooting in the following months.


I got this sweet piece of heaven from eBay, a Super 8mm digest reel of Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. I put a DVD case beside it to show scale. The film came in a giant box, filled with crumbled newspapers. I actually pulled it out and set it aside while I was looking for what was inside the package. I felt dumb after finding it. I've watched through it on my Super 8mm editing bay. It's in B&W and it actually contains the film's THE END title card which has been missing on all home video releases of the film.

I'll have a podcast ready in a week or so. What's on the schedule for today, showing my movie review site some lovin'. I think I might go in and start italicizing the movie titles since this was all done throughout the years.
