The Big Picture: Frankenstein Conquers the World

[angel85]

I actually presided over a showing of this movie while I was volunteering at I-CON a couple years ago, it was the version with the octopus ending.

With Cinemassacre´s Monster Madness and now this, october is starting look like a lot of fun. I´m very appoint, Bob.

 

[Sabrestar]

Okay... So this one made me make a bewildered face that I haven't made since high school.

Nice find. I might actually try to find this. Does this mean a new sub-meme of Japan! Is! Weird! is in the offing?

 

[gmfaux]

Love the emoti-pumpkins!

 

[sir.rutthed]

Fun stuff, Bob. It's nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one out there who loves cheesy monster movies. For some reason most of the poeple I know think that kind of movie is just a stupid waste of time. Oh well. Hey, can we get a Godzilla/Gojira episode? I'd love to her your take on his history.

I got much happier than I should have when you mentioned Barugon...then I got sad when you told me it wasn't the same Barugon...then I got happy again because you bothered to mention the Gamera Barugon at all.

Speaking of, I'm sure MovieBob knows this, but if anyone is interested, the five Gamera episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (the season 3 ones, not the season 0 ones) have been added to Netflix Instant Watch. It was awesome.

About the earthquake ending: Well it's Japan an earthquake is likely to happen

 

[DTWolfwood]

japan totally has giant dinosaurs all over the place!

 

[punipunipyo]

well... I was glad they also decide to cut the giant octopus from "the watchmen" because it made so much sense! now there IS a reason that Dr.Matt HAVE to leave, and saves SOOOOO much time to have to explain that whole genetically create monster and kill all scientists thing!

sudden giant Octo is baaad, anyhow, cool vid! nice knowing that Japs are so much more content liberal when it comes to making movies!~

 

[The Great JT]

Ho-ho-ho, I'm gonna like these episodes.

 

[Swifteye]

haven't seen it so i can't comment myself but i'm pertty sure this was on netflix's 50 worst movies of all time. So yeah there's that.

I'm pretty sure most monster movies and B movie horrors are critically panned. It honestly has little value if you like these sort of movies for whatever reason. Personally I wouldn't watch it but not because a bunch of people disliked it on netflix. Mostly cause I just don't feel for monster movies.

 

[Alcamonic]

"Just go with it..." I love the tone you do when you say it.
As someone mentioned earlier, the pumpkins are really nice, please keep them for at least October.

The Japanese wildlife is amazing, what next? Giant moths? Nah... that would be really silly.

Actually what i'm talking about is a netflix funded movie made for direct streaming on netflix (imagine that...) that listed the 50 worst movies of all time. I sure alot of them really were trash but they didn't list any movies after 1989 and about 45 out of the 50 were just campy sci-fi/monster movies from the 60s. It wasn't really fair. I bring it up because i recognized the name from watching that and i don't have much else to say other than i've heard of this before. really though that 50 worst movies of all time just felt like polished multimedia hate mail to genre movie-makers of the world. as far as i know i don't think you can even watch this netflix much less rate it...

Was I the only one that saw the hilarity in a series called The Big Picture having an episode about a motion picture about two big things fighting? Is it too far-fetched?
Nice episode, I loved the ending, but not as good as your regular ones. I guess I just prefer comics are weird. Also, you've only done like two TV is weird, I demand moar!

 

[Littaly]

It's Cinemassacre's Mooonster Madn... no wait, this is something else. But sure, why not.

 

[Stall]

No one is calling out MovieBob on blatantly ripping off James Rolfe? What a surprise.

I also love how MovieBob decides to call Frankenstein's Monster just "Frankenstein" because "everyone does it like that". Fucking hilarious. You'd think someone as proudly pseudo-intellectual as Bob would LOVE the chance to nitpick and correct everyone instead of just accepting a mainstream term that is factually wrong.

Anyways, what a boring video. If I want to watch a webshow about horror movies in October, I'll stick to the one that's actually entertaining.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

You know, there's one thing in the entire world I have a phobia of.

Octopi [sub](well, octopi and squid, and to a lesser extent cuttlefish).[/sub]

Especially giant ones, no matter how crappy they look! Yeah. That was not a nice surprise.

 

[Denizen]

Yay two of my favorite online personalities reviewing frankenstein movies. October/halloween is awesome. Keep 'em comin'.

 

[StrixMaxima]

OK, Mr. Movie Bob...

*legs crossed, big armachair, bucket of popcorn, fingers touching each other, dim lighting*

I am interested.

That actually looks really fun! I hope he eventually does a retro review of the Spanish version of Frankenstein. A lot of people like it more than the original. I would like to know what he thinks about it.
