Girls, I Am Telling You, Avoid "The War Of The Garganturas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                       It is rare, if ever, darlings, I tell readers to avoid a "Svengoolie" screening, but this time, I must insist.

                                       "The War Of The Gargantas," made in 1966, was Toho's attempt to come up with some new monsters.  They had done well with King Ghidorah, and Gamera, the flying turtle.  But here, all they came up with were these two ape like creatures, who are twin siblings fighting each other--a sort of modern day, Japanese version of "Gargantua and Pantagruel," by Rabelais.

                                        Girls, I am telling you, what is the point?  The monsters are boring, one cannot care about them, either way, and the actors, always weaker than the monsters, are even more so, because the monsters themselves are not strong, as characters.

                                            As posted, we are off to "Gypsy" tonight, so we have an excuse.  Had this not materialized, I would have subjected David to "Promising Young Woman," which I still have reservations on, regarding my fear as to how he would react to the film.

                                             There is nothing to react to in "The War Of The Gargantuas," except to experience supreme ennui.

                                               And a Toho film, minus Gojira???????????  Who cares????????????????
