Gojiro!: The decades-long success of Godzilla movies and its giant-sized followers prove that there’s a public demand for rubber-suited monsters. For fans of Ultraman, Rodan and Gamera, the only way to get a fix was home video and the occasional big screen treat. But a new kind of theatre-cum-pro-wrestling called Kaiju Big Battel takes Japanese monster movies to where they really belong - the live stage. This city-flattening cabaret is best enjoyed live, but the Web site captures the spirit with photos, communiqués and streaming video. Destroy all monsters at http://kaiju.com.

Overflow: In addition to being a very funny word, Bukkake is also a very funny concept. The short description is a group of men, presumably quite comfortable with each other, who gather around a woman and proceed to anoint her with the fruit of their loins. Originating in Japan, it’s spawned a cult following in the West. For the long description, visit www.4-bukkake.com and regret it. :
