Bad 'Roos

-

 Warriors of Virtue.  This is an armored kangaroo.  You don't need to know the plot.
 

These are more armored kangaroos -
 
Yee, the Warrior of Metal and Virtue of Righteousness, Yun, the Warrior of Water and Virtue of Benevolence, Lai, the Warrior of Wood and Virtue of Order, Chi, the Warrior of Fire and Virtue of Wisdom, Tsun, the Warrior of Earth and Virtue of Loyalty.  That's Doug Jones as Yee, known for his anthropomorphic roles.


Abe Sapien, Hellboy.


Jones, on right, and yes, he's supposed to be a kangaroo.


The Shape of Water.  Anyway, more 'roo movies:
 

 Kangaroo Jack, 2003.  This made a great deal of money.


Matilda, 1978.  The kangaroo is on the left.


I have never seen Matilda, and for good reason.  It was yanked right after it's release, it was a notorious stink bomb.  The kangaroo suit cost 30,000 bucks, and the ears don't even move.
 

Elliot Gould said "Al Ruddy wanted to buy back my position, my points in the picture, he offered me hundreds of thousands of dollars, which at that point I decided would be bad karma. That was bad judgment on my part.”  
 
 
"Nobody behind the scenes seems to have put any heart and passion in the production, and it's no wonder the actors are dragged down with it. Gould (who further killed his career with this movie) does put in some effort despite the fact you can see in his eyes that he knows he's in a stinker, but his broad performance ends up adding to the feeling the movie is mocking the viewer". (IMDB).
The slavering naked rat in the middle is the star of the film. 


Gary Morgan, the man in the Matilda fursuit, also played Cujo the St. Bernard.
I'm in awe.



The Boxing Kangaroo, German.  1895.



Tank Girl.


Booga, the comic version.  Tank Girl.


Booga, movie version.  Jeff Kober does the honors.


The Rippers, killer kangaroo commandos.  This movie made 6 million dollars against 25 million in production costs.
Serves them right.

 
Booga is one of the most slandered of comic book characters.



Gwendolyn E. Bardwell Carew, aka Wendy the Kangaroo.

Our own Andibi shows the way with depicting 'roos as the highly peaceful, intelligent, and good looking creatures they are.  He gave me the idea for this post so he gets dragged into it.

 Leave them 'roos alone.  But wait!  One more piece of invaluable trivia-
 

Notice the name Frankie Sardo.  His hit song was 'Fake Out', the poster has it wrong.  Buddy, J. P. Richardson and Richie Valens had only hours to live when this concert started.   Frank Sardo, aka Frank Avianca was one of the mobsters in Matilda.


Frank (Avianca) as Hood #2 on right.  Ain't that something?  Goddamn right it is!

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
