King Kong 1976

I always thought it looked like he was holding a burning hoagie.

This picture rocks.  The King Kong from the 1976 poster by science fiction cover artist legend, John Berkely. This is a billboard that was up at the time by Paul Chin. I remember in 1980 the movie coming on television at the same time as  Battlestar Galactica 1980 (the one where they finally get to Earth, it was bloody terrible) and the Super Bowl, which only my older cousin wanted to watch, so somehow me and my other cousin got to watch King Kong and we'd flip it to Galactica during commercials.

The Godzilla of my Dreams

This is a very cool picture of Godzilla about to smack down Ghidora by artist Charles Santoso.  When I was a kid I was obsessed  with Godzilla and King Kong.  At my elementary school there was a set of books called the Monster Series and each one was about a different movie monster.  I think for a year, maybe when I was in first grade, I only checked out these books from the school library.  The internet says these books were horribly written, but I don't know if I even noticed the words because it had pictures of Godzilla breathing radiation on stuff and even a picture of Godzilla flying backward while holding the Smog Monster (his flight was powered by his stank radioactive breath).  How can anything get better than that?
