UPDATED for December 27, 2015:
After six months of holding off, the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens serves as perhaps the best time to put Message from Space out there for the masses (i.e.: small handful of standard GHWP live tweeters). #GHWP will be featuring the 1978 Toei classic officially on December 27, 2015, beginning at 4:45PM EST and co-hosted by the tweeters who wanted it the most, @1oldlostsoul and @bunnyhero.
There are several ways to watch this feature with us, but unfortunately YouTube is not one of them for the English language version:
YouTube (Hungarian dubbed ONLY)
DVD from Shout! Factory
Amazon Prime Instant Video
Dish Network on Demand
Veoh
Vimeo
Also, if you have Comet TV, the film will be airing on Thursday, December 24, at 2AM and 4PM EST, so you can record it and set it aside for a few days if that works for you (note that some time difference may be present with regard to commercials, editing for time, and/or possible frame rate playback speed up for the sake of ad time).
Message From Space is a lavish Toei production from 1978 starring Vic Morrow and Sonny Chiba. It was written and directed by Kinji Fukusaku (Battle Royale, Tora! Tora! Tora! Japanese sequences, The Green Slime) and co-written by the father of Toei superheroes Shotaro Ishinomori (Kamen Rider, Kikaider, Robot Detective K). In the vast realm of films with obvious inspiration from the original Star Wars, this is perhaps the most colorful and entertaining of them all.
RSVP @QuandaryMan, @1oldlostsoul or @bunnyhero for any additional information, and if, for some reason, you can't participate in the live tweet from the sources above, then one of us may be able to help you out.
