wow. there’s crazy post on who-sucks dot com titled monstrous myostatin misfortunes with equally crazy pics of some mighty massive muscle magnification caused by myostatin deficiency. oh my! myostatin is a hormone that regulates muscle growth. too much myostatin and you may not have enough muscle mass. too little myostatin and, well, you are super buffed and strong without really trying. i have to remember to ask santa for just a wee bit of a myostatin deficiency this year. yikes.

being a sucker for giant monster movies, i feel obliged to post about the upcoming south korean monster film called The Host (originally released as Gwoemul in 2006). i haven’t seen it. i know little about it. and yes, it could really suck (like previously mentioned films here have done). but seeing as it has a giant, mutated, catfish-like monster in it and this website is titled giantmonster, i must write something about it. The Host opens friday, march 9th. link to The Host trailer on apple’s website. link to the official The Host movie website (opens with trailer). movie & plot summary (spoiler alert!) via wikipedia. CG work done by weta studios and the orphanage. bad but very good monster movies are hard to find these days (last one for me was Slither) so i’m hoping to get my fix.
darn it - i missed stretch monster week over at neatocoolville! yes, neatocoolville is where everything and anything stretch monster related can be found. everything from a stretch monster coloring book (with such sexy poses!), the stretch monster box art, stretch monster anatomy, a stretch monster birthday cake baked by yours truly, and a lot more. check it out when you get a chance.
fishermen off the coast of new zealand caught a 990 pound (450 kilogram) colossal squid. wow. measuring a wee bit over 33 feet in length, the colossal squid is the largest cephalopod captured intact. read about the differences between the giant squid and the colossal squid on the giant squid and colossal squid fact sheet at tonmo.com.
so, yeah, we just ordered 12 new wampa suits. perfect for spring! i hope to have them here before easter. that way i don’t have to rent a boring old easter bunny costume for the giantmonster family easter egg hunt. photos of old school wampa rad-ness found via michael heilemann’s flickr set titled classic star wars.
wow. if this next clip is a commercial, i’m buying one of everything. please watch the rad and perplexing (making it more rad) youtube gold titled baby octopus. it’s either a wacky japanese show or a wacky japanese commerical for a really terrible daycare service. seems to need the yakety sax theme from benny hill. any live action show with people running around in creepy monster suits is great with me. plus, that there octopus has got a sexy mouth. thanks to the devious minds at cobracreative for the clip. enjoy!
