Sunday Post #430



I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Mine was full of lots of food. This week I posted a Fandom Mashups Revisited #2 (I'm thinking of making this a semi- regular thing). I also posted a Top Ten and a Bookcover Spotlight. This next week I'm doing another livewatch- this time it's Son of Godzilla. Yes, honestly. Did you know all the Godzilla movies (and a lot of other shows) are free on Youtube now? You have to watch ads, but still. 

I discovered this while doing SciFi Month. I also have walking tours- a lantern fest and Christmas lights in the Roppongi district of Tokyo. The ice skating at the end is neat. 

    

This week in walking tours I have a lantern fest in Seoul- this is beautiful.

    I love the art of the mermaid with the kraken, she seems very siren-like. ;) Also I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

    My mom was a huge fan of all the Godzilla (& mothra - all of them) movies back in the day. Now Kevin loves them so we always watch when we catch one.

    The first thing I thought of when I saw Son of Godzilla, is what happened to Mama Godzilla :)

    Glad you had a good one. We don't do Thanksgiving in Scotland.

    OMG Son of Godzilla from the late 1960s? OMG that is my favourite Godzilla movie of all time. I loved the old Japanese ones the best <3 <3

    I had a good Thanksgiving, too. Just got rid of the last of the leftovers yesterday, and now I have to start gearing up for Christmas. Where does the time go?

    I've heard of the lantern festival but never seen it. How beautiful! We had similar lanterns at the Botanical Gardens here duing the spring but I didn't realize they were the type used in the festival. I love all the Charlie Brown holidays but I think Christmas is my favorite. Have a wonderful week!

    Well, here in Gemany we don´t celebrate Thanksgiving the way you do. We have a Thanksgiving at the end of October that is mostly celebrated in a church. But I am glad you had a good one. Happy reading and have a wonderful new week.

    Fathom looks interesting. I’m currently binging on Critical Role Campaign 1, it’s D&D played by voice actors.
    Love the ice skating gif.

    Wishing you a great reading week

    I love the pulp cover of the week, with that bulls eye! But the Venus covers are also quite something! I'm glad you had a great and yummy Thanksgiving and I might have to check out those Godzilla films on Youtube! I hope you have a lovely weekend :)

    Seeing Snoopy gang ice skating makes me smile. I don't much care for winter weather but it does make some nice views.

    You've always post such great art finds. That artist Ginkgo Whale's artwork is lovely.

    Have a lovely day.

    My son loves the Godzilla movies, thanks for the heads up. The last piece of art you have on here is very Boris Vallejo esk. He did a lot of the fantasy art circa 1980s think Conan type covers. Very nice. Hope you have a great week.

    Love the mermaid picture! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. I didn't get as much food this year as I usually do, so that was kind of disappointing to me. Oh well. Hope you have a good week!

    Nice to hear you had a great Thanksgiving. We didn't do a turkey (it was just the two of us) and I missed that meal! Love all the fixings! Must do one soon. Charlie Brown brings back so many good memories!

    I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving with good food. I love seeing the Charlie Brown ice skaters. My daughter watches a lot of stuff on Youtube so I did know. But we also have several streaming services now. Through Amazon Prime, you can watch stuff on IMDB with ads also.

    Glad to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing both that lantern festival and the Christmas lights video. So pretty. Yay for Charlie Brown Christmas! I had to go to my son's holiday band concert last night and one of their selections was a medley of songs from Charlie Brown Christmas. It was awesome!
