Portland's advertising professionals will come together this Wednesday for the Rosey Awards. Last year's after-party was at West Cafe, but the award venue has moved from Newmark to Gerding so not sure where it will be this time round (anyone?).

Trailer – Filmusik: Gamera vs. Guiron

The real kaiju otaku know that Godzilla is for pansies and poseurs, if you're looking for true hardcore street cred in the world of giant rubber movie monsters it's Gamera or it's nothing. Gamera is a giant prehistoric turtle that breathes fire and flies by spinning in a circle while firing powerful jets of flame out the arm and leg holes of his shell. (Yes, I know: AWESOME!) In this film he's pitted against Guiron a monster shaped like a giant bowie knife that can launch shuriken out it's nostrils.If you're thinking “Ho-Hum, I've seen cheesy monster movies before”, be assured: this is no ordinary movie screening. Oh, Heavens no! Gamera vs. Guiron will get the full FILMUSIK treatment.
