CRITERION CORNER GIVEAWAY!!! 

GODZILLA EDITION

hey there. it’s been a while since i’ve randomly given stuff away, and that doesn’t jive well with my philosophy that love and / or readership should be shamelessly bought. so in honor of the 2012 and the impending doom of our civilization, i thought i’d offer a chance to bring home everyone’s favorite world-destroyer, GODZILLA! MMMRAAAHHHWWWFFFF!! (that’s how Mothra told me to spell Godzilla’s cry, but you can’t ever really trust that guy).

THE PRIZE: 1 Criterion DVD or Blu-ray (your choice) of Ishiro Honda’s GODZILLA. 

TO ENTER: just “like” and / or Re-blog this post. each note will count as a separate entry, so every fellow blogger can therefore submit a maximum total of 2 entries.

giveaway will be closed at 12 P.M. EST on Friday, 2/3/2012. 1 winner will be randomly selected from the notes. so the odds should be okay if not super awesome, but someone’s gonna get something sweet for nothing.

good luck, and thanks for reading!

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.

They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.

In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

And this is to thoroughly erase any sense of class I gained through that last post.

And this is to thoroughly erase any sense of class I gained through that last post.

 ”Who ever is completely comfortable, unless he be asleep? It is the fatigue caused by man’s inevitable contact with the earth which bears him be he standing, sitting or lying, which keeps his mind in a continual fret over futilities. If a man, if a single man could be freed for a moment from the forces of gravity concentrating his weight upon that point of his body which touches the earth, what would he not do? He would be a god, the lord of life, causing the high gods to tremble on their thrones: he would thunder at the very gales of infinity like a mailed knight. As it is, he must ever have behind his mind a dull wonder how anything composed of fire and air and water and omnipotence in equal parts can be so damn hard.”
