History of the Techbro

[catgirl-kaiju]

okay, so i recently watched a god-awful movie from 1971 called "Horror of the Blood Monsters". while it contained some so-bad-it's good moments, it was mostly unbearable to watch. however, the parts that were the most interesting and entertaining, were colorized clips from a 1956 black-&-white Filipino english language film called "Tagani" (Alternatively called "Kahariang Bato" for the Tagalong release). I mean just look at this!

this looks so fun!

there's elaborate creature costuming that is really fun to see and at times fairly impressive for a low budget Filipino production in the 50s! i mean, just look at these sequences involving humanoid crab and bat creatures!

and there's a surprising amount of body diversity too! there are fat folks and a few actors with dwarfism who don't appear to be playing nonhuman roles!

so, i thought, i should find a copy of Tagani that i can watch since that's what i'd really like to be watching in the first place. but...

i can't fucking find it anywhere.

no uploads, no streaming, no home video releases, not even any indications of film reels being shown of it. what the fuck? where is Tagani??? have i stumbled into lost media?

the only indications of its existence are the footage in Horror of the Blood Monsters, a poster, and a trailer uploaded to youtube. i found links to the film uploaded to youtube when i searched on duckduckgo, but when i clicked on them, the uploads were gone! I was able to find a 1080p copy of HotBM, so in a just world, i would be able to find a 1080p copy of Tagani as well.

if anyone has this magnificent film archived or knows where i can go to find a copy of this, please let me know! i'd love to watch it and help preserve it! if you'd like to watch the Tagani segments in Horror of the Blood Monsters, i recommend skipping most of the portions involving the main cast of white american actors for the best experience. I do not recommend watching the full film as it's SO boring in most scenes. but the Tagani scenes never fail to entertain

One of my favorite parts in Attack of the Clones was the arena battle on Geonosis. The fight against the monsters reminds me of something you would see in a Ray Harryhausen film.

Wouldn't be surprised that's how Lucas came up with the idea.

Cavemen tribe recruiters back in the day be like:

If you throw spear you hunt

If you know what plants don't kill us you gather

If you good with kids you go with kids

If you good with hands you craft things

"But what about gender roles?"

What if your best hunter Bunga has an asthma attack, and the only backup hunter available is a chick? Bunga isn't gonna do jack shit for a whiIe. Are you really gonna let the clan starve and die because "oh lord, only women pick da berries!"

I don't think our ancient predecessors gave a flying fuck about aribitrary stuff like this tbh.

When you have a flying boat but you still have to row (Robin Parry, I believe, for Parry and Ste Dillon's "Scatophagium Campaign" section in Adventurer magazine 8, March 1987)

If lmk characters were cavemen in the stone age.

Based on Phineas and Ferb Caveman episode called "Tri Stone Area" and Quest for Fire(1981).

Can you draw Caveman MK and his pack gathering around the campfire eating woolly mammoth meat?

For future reference, I feel like this request was a little too specific. Next time I'd prefer something a little simpler 😉 I just get overwhelmed easily when it comes to requests. (It's funny cuz, this request was both too specific and not specific enough at the same time. Cuz I have no clue who you mean by "pack" lol so I just chose random. Also, I gagged when I searched up mammoth meat pfft-)

Anyway, I hope you like it!
