it's the end of the world all the time in my head

[davemerrill]

Noted eschatologist Hal Lindsey holds forth in front of an audience somewhere at some point in time (seriously, there are zero liner notes with this LP) and answers YOUR questions about what the Bible says about the end of the world! Which is a lot of different and fairly contradictory things, but if you squint and hand-wave, you can get some kind of coherent prognostications out of it. They won't come true, but whatever.



I'm no Bible scholar, but I think somewhere it there is a part about how wizards and false prophets should be put to death, by stoning. Since Hal has been predicting the rise of the Antichrist for something like forty years now, I'd say he's long overdue for some Bibilical jurisprudence. If you check out his website he's gone all digital, with videos of "the Hal Lindsey Report", which combs through anything anybody ever said, ever, and tries to tie it into current events as some sort of prophecy. Seriously, the one I watched today was Hal quoting some 9th century Irish Catholic priest. I guess he's wrung the Bible dry.

To give Hal credit, on this LP he does say in answer to a question about Mid-East Peace, that he wouldn't be surprised if Anwar Sadat was assassinated, which actually did happen. That's one for Hal, I guess. Anyway, let the spirit guide you to Mister Kitty!

But it IS the End Times!

Bara-bara is coming from Right Stuf.

Mystery of Mamo with the Toho International dub is coming out.

Shout Factory is bringing out a more legit Message from Space.

JOHNNY F'ING SOKKO!!

Cobra?! the '80s TV series and not the more recent stuff? Right Stuf again.

Cripes, way things are going I expect hear announcements about Flying Phantom Ship, Future Boy Conan and Xabungle within the next month.

If Hell hasn't frozen over I'm pretty damn sure Satan is wearing a sweater. :)

I think a lot of the excitement I'm seeing about Johnny Sokko will fade a little once they've had a chance to sit down and actually watch the show for the first time in 35 years.

What I'm curious about are those William Winckler dubs of Everything Toei that were the subject of so much big talk back in 2009-2010. Vanished into the ether, they did.

I don't doubt that folks will shudder over Johnny Sokko- I recall it was fairly decent up until the kid put the uniform on.

Of course we still need Space Giants (and I know you know all about that tangled thing) and Spectraman.

You want to know about Winckler dubs, I want to know about the Sandy Frank dubs from the '80s, like Mighty Jack and Ape Army and Message from Space the series and Star Wolf. All indications are the entire series of each was dubbed and then the 'movies' were cut down from that.

I'd love to own all of Star Wolf dubbed.

I've never heard of those entire series being dubbed, just the compilation films. Though getting two features out of the 24-episode Star Wolf - you've practically dubbed the whole show right there, more or less.

Can't imagine watching Mighty Jack (again) in any form. That show is ridiculously boring! Even the MST3K version is tedious.

Finally got to see the MST3K Time Of The Apes recently, it was pretty funny, actually.

Oh, I'm sure they're all dire. I've been watching Fireball XL5 and man, it hurts, it hurts, it's so CRUDE (in a professional entertainment sense) compared to later Gerry Anderson shows.

I have no proof, no physical evidence that the Sandy Frank licenses were complete series dubs other than what is presented within the comp. movies themselves. Characters reference events not seen in the movies but are logical to assume were part of an episode. If the movies were cut from 'raw Japanese' prints and then translated/dubbed it's just logical to assume they would simply re-write those parts.

It's a thin thread, I know. Makes assumptions that may not hold. Yet such a thread proved true with those 'somewhere in the Pac Rim' English Mazinger Z episodes, and someday we'll discover the secret of the English Captain Harlock drama LP. :)

Re: Sadat -- even a stopped prophet is right once.

Some 9th century Irish monk? Couple centuries off, but would that be Malachy? The Prophecy of the Popes? That's a pretty famous one, and up there with Nostradamus as for some being really neat coincidences and some being really huge stretches.

I don't know which priest Lindsey was talking about, I quit watching after forty-five seconds. If it's not St. Patrick or Father Drinky Molesty then I have no clue.
