Even Godzilla had to deal with pollution. This Mexican lobby card for Godzilla contra Monstruos del Smog shows how big the problem was, even back then; today it would be more like Godzilla vs. plastics, global warming, and stupid people. Now that’s a smackdown I’d pay good money to see. Especially in IMAX.
An AIP double-bill (that ran like the wind for drive-ins everywhere) with The Mini-Skirt Mob (an all-girl biker rumble). The New York Times critic gave a succinct “two reels of celluloid junk” to both movies, and sums up with “Mini-Skirt is sickening and Angels is merely dull.” Okay, so you can’t please everyone. But toss these two babies onto a drive-in screen and add some snack shack goodies and I’ll bet a good time would commence. Vroom! Vroom!

This advertising poster for the National Comic Book, Art, and Sci-Fi Convention (aka National Comic Book, Comic Art, and Fantasy Convention) was for the 2004 event at the Penn Plaza Pavilion, if my dating is correct. I fondly recall attending conventions at the Statler Hilton (once the world’s largest hotel), which was in the same location, but torn down after years of changing hands and changing cityscape.
