Godzilla is a part of huge part of Japanese pop-culture and it has permeated here, into the West with varying degrees of success. As part of the annual harvest festival in the Japanese town of Chikuzen, a giant hay effigy was create to the beast in 2016. A dedicated, and slightly eccentric team, spent over four months building the main frame of the beast whilst over a hundred volunteers completed the project. What makes the creature stand out, however, is the glowing red LED lights- an homage to Hideki Anno’s Shin Godzilla from 2016.
Bygone Behemoth
A new silent movie animation has been released on YouTube by creator Harry Chaskin and it is a sweet film about an aging movie monster who relives his glory days. The short is similar in theme to another short I recommended a while back, Titano; both look at what it is to be an old actor in the new modern era of film-making and both have plenty of emotion. Check it out, it's well worth the free price of admission and is a great way to spend 5 minutes.
