I was never a huge fan of the movie, but then I saw it at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, with a big noisy crowd. The scratched-up print was a hit with the rowdy audience. I loved it.

A lovely visit to my favorite garden — the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

I didn’t mention it in the video, but the Garden is where I proposed to Rebecca. I had wanted to get down on one knee and say “Engagment ring, do your thing!” — a hilarious reference to the short-lived Thing cartoon, in which teenager Ben Grimm would touch his magic ring and say “Thing Ring Do Your Thing!” and turn into The Thing (from the Fantastic Four.) I chickened out. But she said yes anyway.

This is not self-defense for monsters, rather it is a guide to defending yourself against monsters. Sorry, monsters.

January’s HULK Night! featured nearly every version of the animated Hulk (1966 – 1996), plus clips from the 1977 pilot movie and the climax of 1990’s Death of the Incredible Hulk. Our feature presentation was Metamorphosis, an amazing 1979 live-action episode packed with glam rock, death fantasies, an indictment of the music industry and an LSD freak-out (Banner hallucinates that his alter-ego is chasing him across the desert, only to morph into a stoned Hulk!) Live entertainment included Hulkus (Hulk haikus) and a Hulk piñata smashed by an actor as the Green Goliath.

Thanks everybody who came out to KISS NIGHT!
For March’s KISS Night! Kevin (and co-host Rob Gorden) donned face-paint to present the 1978 made-for-TV movieKISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. The screening included clips of Gene Simmons in the futuristic thriller Runaway (1984). Audience members were challenged to a beer-guzzling contest against Rob’s robot-clone. Kevin read KISS-ku (KISS haikus.) The after-party included KISS make-overs, a KISS tribute Band (Creatures of the Night), a costume contest and DJ Joey Nova.
