New article, in before the scheduled maintenance! No doubt all of you have heard the story that Akira Ifukube turned down the job of scoring The Return of Godzilla (1984) by stating: "I do not write music for 80-meter monsters!" Well, as it turns out, that story might not have been true. Special thanks to film historian Ed Godziszewski and Ifukube biographer Erik Homenick for their contributions to this article Urban Legends: "I Do Not Write Music for 80-Meter Monsters!" now available to read in the Blog!

Hey all, we have been busy creating a new blog for the site, one that is setup to replace the old one. It's been in the works for awhile, and is rough around the edges... but I feel it's time to launch and continue to improve it. To launch it we have an overdue trailer reaction post above, which we don't want to hold back anymore. This allows new features like comments and gives us a better framework for tagging and other sorting practices.
I have been slowly loading older blogs into this, and if one goes digging into older posts they are liable to find a number of issues that we are working on, so please bear with us. Anyway, enjoy.
