GROOVY

Today marks 20 years since "the end of the big G". So why not take a look back.

The first time I came across Godzilla was through the 1998 movie. I really liked it, but this came from a kid that also thought Shark Tale was great, so take it with a grain of salt. It's not as bad as everyone says it is, but I recognize its flaws.

Then in 2011, I saw a movie that would introduce me to the creature's original routes. That movie was Final Wars. It changed the idea of what a monster movie could be for me. They didn't had to be slow, gloomy, or serious (not that the giant iguana was uber serious in the movie or in the TV series), but instead they could also be fast, over the top, and most importantly: they could somehow be badass and silly, without any of the two genres pushing back the other one.

It was made to serve as a standoff for Gojira, coinciding with it's 50th anniversary. After half a century of Toho features, people saw everything from:

• Anti-nuclear metaphors

• Explosions

• ERB

• S tier tiktok dances

• A rich cast of memorable monsters

• Anti pollution activism

• Pro-drugs PSAs (it was the 70s, what did you expect)

• And epic fights

So after all that, they came up with a movie that tried to pay respects to all series and shove as many kaijus as possible (almost not having screentime for all of them). No, seriously, was Ebirah more important than my boy Jaguar?! You can give it to the dog, 'cause ain't no way I'm eating my lobster after that.

The movie in itself also has its fair share of other things you wouldn't expect to see in a kaiju film such as matrix-like fights; 50 cent costume at Hot Topic (that or those Spaceballs-looking aliens from the 70s, you choose)...

Motor cycle fights; alien shitstorm invasions; New Yorkers according to Zilla haters;

Short but epic fights to replicate with the Jock dorks in the Basketball team;

Blowing Heads for all the Talking Heads;

The introduction of amputees to a whole new generation of horny goths and rule 34 artists (don't believe me? Look for MaxVonDraken's channel. Bro sure is thirsty for some of deez)

Fights in the snow; power rangers-like fights... Yeah, everyone fights in this movie. If you had just finished listening to a RATM album and started fighting a tree pretending you're fighting capitalism, you probably could had been cast for this movie.

But of course, no one can talk about this feature without mentioning Godzi-

DON FRYE

No joke. Who would have thought that goji fans would receive the grace of an MMA legend at this birthday party? He steals every scene he's at. It's like he's an alternate version of Mario where he takes the mushroom pill, beats Bowser's ass in an iron fist match and only goes to the right castle, 'cause Peach isn't trying to push the two to some kind of NTR situation like in the games (yeah, I said it Nintendo. Come sue my ass, everyone will know it's canon). The memes are endless and he should come back the next time Toho does an anniversary of Godzilla in this scale.

Okay, let's cut the bullshit for once. The G (not the D, 'cause that's for another news post). He looks awesome. If you liked that Heisei design but felt he was too caked for you, and wanted a bit of an updated design to combine with your MySpace profile, then it's your lucky day. His design is so detailed and stylish while also being very fit and makes the suit actor able to actually move, something that was a frequent problem in all previous productions.

Oh, and that Hyper red ray throwback for the final boss. Dude, that's sick. Not kidding, I actually had an old hotmail with the profile pic of that image. It was that level of rizz. Fun fact, he was actually gonna be even more edgy, looking like a Marilyn Mason pet.

Wonder how that would work out. One thing's for sure, that would explain the existence of that AMV of the movie with MM's cover of This is Halloween I saw. I would love to show ya, but I think it was deleted. Maybe his christian parents were too shocked by such an heretic audio. Speaking of audio, never thought Sum 41 and city destruction would fit so perfectly.

Anyways, that's what I wanted to say. The movie's a banger. It's actually my favorite one right after the original. Before you come lashing, I haven't seen Minus One yet. Who knows, maybe it's even better than Final Wars *saying this with my fingers crossed*

Thank you. Hope you all had a great halloween. I sure did.

Rewatched Trick R Treat for the tradition, got my mouth full of candies of all sorts and the rest was drawing and animating.

As I was working on so many things at the same time, whether it was original animations, collabs and audio tracks, I wasn't able to post anything on Halloween.

With an election coming up soon, it would be funny to make a stupid little satire.

So here's some sneak peaks of what I'm working:

The lost red hood

The game

Untitled

Wegra's wrath

Jonh Cock

I'm working on 3 gijinka drawings for different collabs. A submission for the Playstation 30 collab in in the plans, but I haven't started yet.

As for @Durinde collab, I'll pick it up and finish it once one of these projects above comes out (maybe John Cock as it's a brainrot animation, so expect a skib in your toilet). I'll do some little changes to the previous and after that it's just the end part.

Thanks again and have a nice day.

I watched EuroTrip recently, and surprisingly, I loved it. I say it's better than American Pie.

I always perceived teen comedies and teen dramas as too repetitive and too annoying for me since a very young age. Not gonna lie, the first American Pie is a bit like that.

For EuroTrip, it hit different for me. I think it could be atributted to the fact that it's not just a familiar location but also for it's absurdity. So many teen movies stay in that safe area of every day sex jokes and that's it. Don't get me wrong, you find that here, but it has so many over the top scenes, sexual or not, that I just found it all so amusing.

There's a german kid with a Hitler moustache doing the salute; there's a moment when one of the main characters goes to meet some dutch hookers, only to find it's just a BDSM thing where he's the one who's going to get beaten up by 2 strong bald guys; one when people think the Pope died and one of the friends is elected as the new one in the same day. I could go on and on.

And of course, that song just fucking slaps, man. I had actually discovered Scotty Doesn't Know before as Spotify recommended me right after finished listening the MCR's debut. When it showed up the first time, I sang along.

Really liked Scott Mechlowicz as Scotty, which was actually cast in Mean Creek, other movie I watched a day before this one. He's awesome in both of them.

Great movie. I think I can say right now that it's my favorite sex comedy by far. Really underrated movie though (and band, as the 2006 album has some other bangers like Papillion). I found it when I searched for movies released in 2004 as I never heard about it before.

Today I turn 20. Just thought you'd like to know, even if no one asked.

Hope you have a good evening. Take care.

I was in college bored as hell yesterday until I entered the site and saw the Supporter Takeover title.

I had to read it twice just to make sure I wasn't mistaken. I imediately came home to post this one:

As I was doodling, it came the idea of making this into an animation, more specifically, a darker and gruesome adaptation of the little red riding hood.

Forget the Grimm brothers, I'm talking about blood and guts.

Needles and thorns.

Distortion and compression.

And if you ask: "Why is this art so small?" That's because I've been experimenting with Flash MX 2004 (which has a default size of 550x400px) and I'm thinking of mashing up Flash and IbispaintX clips.

And I would like to know what you guys think? Is it worth it or just Brown Bricks?

The best month begins now. Wake him up, september is over. It's time to carve some pumpkin, put our costumes and organize the horror gorefest playlist.

And of course:

Hey, thanks for the 69 followers! Hope you're ready for what's to come in this next months: creatures, demons, dinos, goths, robots, gore, brainrot, 4chan, 9/11 animations, collabs, shitty covers and much more! Stay tuned!

I was caught by surprise today with the Pickle collab release. Had real fun on this one. Go check it out (https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/941048).

I also decided to participate on the Summer Art Collab (https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1535724/10#bbspost27918928_post_text).

About the Fnaf collab, I wasn't able to finish it in time as I planned something too ambitious when I had only a few days. Paused progress on the audio based animation but I'll come back soon enough.

Midsummer rumble surprised me when it changed its title to Negrounds Takedown and changed to August. So I'm looking to participate (https://razur-draws.newgrounds.com/news/post/1461504).

Good evening. As I have 4 days left to finnish my submission for the FNAF collab, a«that's what I'm focusing on at this moment. It was stated that I cannot show my submission before the collab release, so you're probably only gonna see it in August. It's wont be very long as I'm not very accustomed to animating in 24 fps and there's no time to make a Return of the King-ish length animation, but I'll try to do my best. Other thing I'm experimenting is making my own audio in the sense of making my own sound effects and voice acting. Kinda funny because that's something I'm planning to do for my next projects.

About the rest, I was initially planning to publish on July 10th the audio animation, but I got busy with personal stuff, so maybe August 10th, I don't know. Himlock (or Hemlock, haven't decided yet) is in the doodle and concept art stage, so it's far from ready. As mentioned above, I expect to do the sound effects and ambient songs. A little ambitious, but hey. Maybe this FNAF entry can work as a good training for that.

I was going to post this yesterday but it was already 3 am so I gave up. I will try to maintain the 9 day period between each update as i feel like it let's me continue my progress without letting you guys in the dark for too long. That's it for now. See ya.
