and the rest... got to upgrade 'jiger' as well from both a better tape and (more importantly) a much better player. need to get all of these encoded and up some place.

❤️ Thank you so much. I feel like they've been a long time coming, and I plan on doing the other two as time allows. This has been me not-so-quietly to myself with every 'gamera' release of the last twenty years or so. Something had to be done.

huh. well i guess i own the german trailer for 'gamera vs. jiger' on 'scope 8mm now.

pardon the genuinely terrible lightbox image.

i'm on neocities for whole minutes before the primal urge to make a goofier background tile takes hold...

'gyaos' continues to be uncooperative, but with my betamax up and running for the moment... may as well finally get this bilingual tv airing of 'goldfinger' backed up.
December 5, 2025 at 2:43 AM
there are moment that look alright, but they are sporadic. this tape declines to cooperate. it would rather be haunted. i can respect that.
December 4, 2025 at 11:14 PM
got decent caps off of all the rest, but this old-ass beta of 'gyaos', man... finally, a copy of a gamera film that plays like the bootlegs of 'cozzilla' that were going around when i was in high school.
December 4, 2025 at 11:11 PM
none of that is to imply that i believe the *films* are bad. 'gamera vs. zigra' is pretty much literally my favorite thing ever. these copies are just magical degrees of terrible. and i love them.
December 3, 2025 at 10:50 PM
aww yis.

everything is terrible, sure, but at least these fuckawful pan-and-scanned gamera betas have arrived.
December 3, 2025 at 10:41 PM
getting there. need to proof them again.

also trying to get them timed for both the current 4k master and the older toshiba dvd / kadokawa blu-ray master. why? why the hell not.

for anyone curious: these are the long unseen domestic pan-and-scan versions of the films, mastered (i believe) from 16mm rental or television prints. they are horrible and i love them.
November 28, 2025 at 10:05 PM
spent more than i'd have liked, and still have to wait for them to arrive... but at last, they are mine. have been looking for these releases of 'guiron' 'viras' and 'zigra' for literal years.

i never realized this was a joke.

reality isn't hitting hard enough so now reality is speaking in metaphor.
November 20, 2025 at 9:05 PM
if i ever publish this fucking thing anywhere i'll consider promoting it entirely by posting inscrutable clips of my idiot fucking prose with zero fucking context. you're welcome and i'm sorry.
