This is something I’ve been wanting to do since childhood. A marathon of Godzilla reviews, including every single film of the whole series! Even if you’ve never seen a Godzilla movie, I hope you find it amusing and maybe get inspired to check some of those movies out. I’ll post the first one on September 15, and from there, sporadically post the rest leading close to Halloween. Closer to Halloween, they’ll be some vintage Halloween videos of mine, including the internet premiere of AtmosFearic Garage of the Supernatural (1998). Of course, there will also be some horror movie reviews from Spike.com in October. Speaking of Spike, the Gremlins review goes up September 17, and another Spike video goes up September 24. I’ll also post another never-before-seen movie of mine sometime soon, in the next week or so. Lots of stuff, keep coming.
Driving somewhere in/near Venice Beach, California, I happened to notice the ANAL CLUB! What the hell goes on in there?
Driving through Long Beach, I saw this “No Cruising” sign. Thanks for the definition of what “cruising” means. 3 times past the same point within 4 hours? Who keeps count?
Somewhere in San Diego, I saw this giant silhouetted monster swinging a hammer(?) up and down. Look at the difference between the hammer in the two pictures, which shows that it’s moving. Also notice the size relationship to the cars to see how big this guy is. I don’t know what it is, but it’s one of the scariest things I ever saw!
Noticed this wiener-mobile in South Pasadena, while I was checking out the neighborhood from the movie Halloween.
(speaking of Halloween… major announcement tomorrow concerning videos!)
We’re getting rid of the Joker, Klingon, and Lion costumes used in the show, plus the original animation drawings for the Batman Part 2 intro. The video explains it all.
I think the new video “Battletoads” is being released tonight. It’s a shorter one, but it packs a punch. One of my recent favorites because I chose a unique approach.
There should be a new movie review “Gremlins” on Spike.com pretty soon too. I’ll inform you when it comes out or when I have a release date.
There will also be some more cool vacation/movie location pics coming up.
I’ve spent the last two days catching up with a lot of email, so here’s some of the interesting stuff I received.
Damn, that took forever to link all those. But thanks everybody for sending.

I autographed some games for PlayAid. Hope it helps out.
Bloody outtakes
If you’ve seen the “Piece of Meat” parody video, then check out the outtakes. This has been up for a while, I’ve just been trying to get around to linking it. For any fans who want to see how I do squirting blood effects, this is a great clip to see. (It’s near the middle, I think.) check it out.
This one caught me by total surprise! I was checking out the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, looking at all kinds of vintage vehicles. They had a room dedicated to movie cars. And there, in a dark corner was some Batman stuff, so I knew I had to get some pictures for you. But it wasn’t easy, because it was all crammed into the corner, and there wasn’t much room to stand. Also, it was so dark, even the flash on the camera didn’t help much.
First, there’s the 1989 Batmobile. According to the sign, it’s one of three studio approved replicas. Either way, it was real awesome to look at in person. The coolest design of all Batman’s vehicles, just got even cooler for me!
Like I said, the corner was dark and crammed. Damn that glass case.
Standing behind it, off to the left, is the 1989 Batman costume. According to the sign, this is the ACTUAL COSTUME WORN BY MICHAEL KEATON! And it looks like it’s been through a production, it’s all beaten up. Supposedly, it’s one of only two surviving costumes from the movie and the mask is the only one that’s survived! And of all places, it’s in an automotive museum.
Then, there’s the Batcycle (with the side car for Robin) from the 1966 TV series. I’m assuming this one is a replica too, but I’m not sure. It’s not as awesome as the Batpod from The Dark Knight, but still pretty cool to look at.
Batman aside, I recommend the museum, but this just made it even more worth it!
I’m in Griffith Park, Hollywood, standing at Bronson Cave, where the Batmobile races out in 1966 Batman TV series. It’s a great spot and no wonder why they used it in so many movies.
It was also featured in Return to the Batcave
and Army of Darkness.
So many movies and TV shows were filmed here, I can’t even begin to list them all.
You also get a pretty close view of the Hollywood sign. The picture is zoomed in a little, but it’s the closest I’ve ever been to the sign, just standing from the cave.
I first introduced Scar in the Top 10 Baddest Bad Guys video. It was a joke for my friend Matthew Von Manahan who made the film, “Book of Caleb.” He liked it and wanted to have me help with content for the DVD. I tried another tribute to Scar, but didn’t make it on the DVD, so here it is as a Cinemassacre.com exclusive.
I’m standing a few blocks from the Fox Tower in Century City, Los Angeles. But I call it the “Die Hard building” because that’s what it is. Stay tuned for more film location sightseeing. Damn, I’m such a tourist.
