Rampage: Megafauna Rampant…
I’m glad that my cousin, Ralph, finally made it to the big screen! He always had dreams of going to Hollywood, and deserved it after all those years of parking cars, pumping gas, and hanging out at furry and video game conventions. It was annoying to him that people would pull at his costume only to discover that it wasn’t one. – – Ahh, his mother would have been so proud of him! On the other hand, I wasn’t granted Ralph’s athleticism, being only a bookish writer…fortune, thou art a cruel mistress!
I suppose it was inevitable that they’d make a movie loosely based on the vintage video game, Rampage, and starring Dwayne Johnson. After all, Doom turned out so well! In the long-ago, I can remember playing the video game, and never doing terribly well…such is the the story of my life! Anyways, in his latest action film outing, the Rock plays primatologist Davis Okoye who is attempting to intervene on behalf of his albino silverback gorilla, George, the object of a rogue genetic experiment gone awry. – –Tell me about it! George, Ralph, and other mutant animals grown to enormous size are, well, rampaging through North America, and causing big trouble and general mayhem. It’s up to Dwayne Johnson and others to find an antidote…
This sci fi/fantasy offering sounds like good brainless fun, and is opening April 13th at a theater near you! A CGI-heavy movie, it also features Jeffrey Dean Morgan of The Walking Dead, minus his Negan bat, Lucille. I expect that Ralphie will give a memorable performance, and even if he doesn’t, I’m still proud of the big lug… 😉

But, don’t you think it’s anti-vulpine discrimination that they’re using a flying wolf, instead of a… “flying fox?”

They might have thought that such would have been typecasting…and wolves are somewhat more fearsome!

P.S.—I just got back from a sneak preview. And believe me; when I call it AWESOME(!), that is no “croc.” Especially if you think of it as a partial tribute to the Old School daikaiju films of Toho Studios. Most of which starred the late, great Haruo Nakajima as Godzilla. And with half of those co-starring his faithful companion Anguirus .
Don’t what I’m referring to? Then, go see the movie and see for yourselves. 😉

I never thought of that; good observations!
