I didn’t kill the Caribbean monk seal

Okay, so maybe I ate a few of them from time to time on special occasions. It wasn’t that many! I can’t help it if they are delicious! They should evolve worst tasting meat. How hard is that? Stupid monk seals. Maybe they shouldn’t have taken a vow of celibacy. I do have a pack of DNA for these monk seals so I can clone replacements, but that’s just standard DNA hording on my part. Don’t expect me to create any new Caribbean monk seals anytime soon, unless I get the urge for a midnight snack. Mmmmm…. Carribbean Monk Seal BBQ.

After five years of futile efforts to find or confirm sightings of any Caribbean monk seals — even just one — the U.S. government on Friday announced that the species is officially extinct and the only seal to vanish due to human causes.

“Humans left the Caribbean monk seal population unsustainable after overhunting them,” Kyle Baker, a biologist for the National Marine Fisheries Service, said in a statement. “Unfortunately, this led to their demise and labels the species as the only seal to go extinct from human causes.”

This is not to be confused with Cheerleader Ninjas, starring Kira Reed. But that film was good as well.

UPDATE:: We have now watched and reviewed Ninja Cheerleaders, read our review with even more pictures here!

Spy Girl’s Mission Cord#005

Spy Girl’s Mission Cord#005 (Shin Spy Girl Daisakusen: Wakusei Kara no Shinryakusha) comes out May 17th, and promises naked Japanese chicks, gold-clad super-powered chicks, and spies. Sounds like our kind of film! Written and directed by Eitoku Kawamura.
Spy Girl
Plot synopsis:

At Manazuru Peninsula strange UFO sightings are accompanied by killings in which the victims’ corpses are completely mummified. When the proprietor of the nearby Institute of Space and Astronautical Science decides to investigate and promptly disappears the Spy Girls (played by gravure idols Sawa Hashimoto, Megumi Kagurazaka, and Saya Hikita) are called in to get to the bottom of things. They eventually discover the cause of all the trouble, an alien seductress with murderous intentions known only as Gold Lady (Akiho Yoshizawa), and a ridiculously slow-paced battle ensues.

A Not Safe For Work trailer is at Nippon Cinema

Akiho Yoshizawa is a porn star, so understandably she’s the one naked in the clips.

Reptisaurus Trailer

Reptisaurus news again! Fred Olan Ray upped the trailer to the Retromedia message boards, and then Avery let me know Undead Backbrain had upped it to Youtube, saving me the trouble. So here it is:

Directed by Chris Ray, who even stopped by to comment last time we reported on the film, it hopefully will be a lot of fun, and looks so by the trailer shots.

Thanks again to Avery!

Also, Chris Ray is answering questions at Undead Backbrain, so ask away!

WTF is The Seaserpent’s Song?

It looks like a movie, but the website doesn’t have much info and Google has absolutely nothing. I am not even sure how Avery found this except for his magical monster movie news finding powers. I guess that is a major at Hogwarts or something. Anyway, go to the website, listen to the somewhat annoying theme music, and see if you can make anything of this. Because I order you to!

Thanks to Avery!
