NEW MONSTER MOVIE MUST SEE: CHOHATSU DAIKAIJU GEHARA

Upcoming Japanese Monster flick CHOHATSU DAIKAIJU GEHARA (translation: Gehara: The Long-Haired Giant Monster) is a 15-minute short that looks like a gamma-radiated Skeksis at a Metal show!

August Ragone writes on his blog:
"...this will not be a straight monster movie, rather, this mini-movie is yet another parody of the genre — on the heels of Minoru Kawasaki’s MONSTER X STRIKES BACK (2008) — in fact, one of the Self Defense Force plans to stop Gehara is called "Operation: Perm" (!), which features a Maser Cannon-like mobile weapon, looking suspiciously like a giant hair dryer on tank treads."

Ha! It's a shame its a parody, but I'm still interested in seeing a long-haired Monster wreck Tokyo.
