Spatulater bro! posted:So I just watched Godzilla 1984, and I liked it a lot. I see a lot of hate for the movie, and I'm wondering if most people are actually referring to Godzilla 1985, the American version? I think that version should still be preserved because it's such a fantastic artifact of the Cold War era. The icing is having more Raymond Burr who is always fantastic. But yeah, it was hated mainly because it added a whole American storyline and was extremely Anti-Russian. They basically hijacked a Godzilla film to put out a Cold War propaganda movie.

Those Media Blasters releases were amazing, glad I got hold of that three pack with Varan, The Mysterians and Matango before the rights ran out. Varan's a pretty lousy movie by the way, but it's worth watching just for the Ifukube score.

Criterion really needs to get on some Eclipse sets that do for Toho/Honda what #37 did for Shochiku.

Finally saw this and loved every single bit of it, from the original music (LOVED that they took from King Kong vs. Godzilla which is my fave version) but sound effects and even his roar is just rips from the old movies. I understand that there was some funny parts (the noodles, the American scientists and the guy screaming eureka for a small dose) but one guy in front of me just kept laughing at anything -- it really took me out of things. Like even during the serious stuff where theres death and destruction - this guy is just whooping it up. Also, for the love of god - deodorant -- please -- shower too. It was loving terrible. Smelly was a different guy too. Before going in I wasn't 100% sold on the form and I am actually kinda happy he doesn't transform back into the classic look. It's loving horrifying.

Been catching up on the thread after seeing the film on the 24th. Excellent movie, I love how weird it was while still feeling like a traditional Godzilla film. I didn't see this posted upthread, here's Shin's gross tail.  Choco1980 posted:I dunno, the New Years Eve spot they did with only like a minute to midnight where they had Zilla stop the ball dropping and fling it at the times square gatherers, was pretty great debut timing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIUAC03YMlA

Holy poo poo, I didn't even know he had that. I thought the smaller creatures frozen after budding off of his tail like Rodin's Gates of Hell at the end of the movie was metal enough already. Everything I find out about this Godzilla makes it more and more of my favorite.

The only thing that keeps Shin from being my favorite take on Godzilla is that I miss that little bit of relatability even his most villainous incarnations have had. In '54 there's a real sense of tragedy as he dies, in this one it's just "oh thank loving God." Not even a criticism, really, it works perfectly for the story being told and was a much-needed spin on the character. I'm not sure they should try to follow it up in the same vein, though.

Since this seems to also act as a general-use Godzilla thread and it's in the same cinematic universe as the Legendary series, HERE'S KONG! https://twitter.com/kongskullisland/status/796763662522273792

Something about that image looks really off to me but I can't put my finger on it EDIT: The face looks like it's a 3D image in front of a 2D background.

Because they already announced Godzilla vs Kong for 2020, and both movies feature the government agency Monarch. They've been pretty explicit about them being related series.

My understanding was it's not a definite that Mothra et. al. show up in Godzilla 2, but that Legendary simply got the permission to use those characters. And gently caress them for not getting Gigan, because Gigan deserves better movies than he got.

The intergalactic space rooster loving rules. Megalon and Gigan's friendship is really fun. Also, that Ghidorah probably doesn't like him, but gently caress, he just can't stand by and watch Big G whoop his rear end. Gigan's like his well meaning loser cousin.

I like to imagine that Gigan and Megalon are BFFs and hang out all the time. They bond over their lack of hands and their shared love of smashing things.

There was also a poster they put out that showed some poo poo if you put a black light on it. In particular, some prose about a monster from Sumerian mythology called Humbaba. Check out his Wiki, could be one crazy movie monster. http://moviepilot.com/p/new-kong-skull-island-poster-is-hiding-some-godzilla-sized-secrets/4121811 In other news, I feel so stupid for missing something. Obviously Shin Godzilla took lots of cues from the Fukushima disaster. But I was watching an episode about it on Engineering Disasters today and totally forgot that one of the ways they cooled the reactors was to pump water in using super long-armed concrete pumps. Same exact ones used to pump the coagulant into SG. Derp.

Check out his Wiki, could be one crazy movie monster. i dunno. Reading the text I think the description alludes to Godzilla: "His mouth is fire; his roar the floodwater; his breath is death. Enlil made him guardian of the Cedar Forest, To frighten off the mortal who would venture there. BUT WHO WOULD VENTURE THERE?" I think the text is to point to Godzilla as a nature spirit / guardian as Humbaba was, rather than literally saying a Humbaba character is going to be walking around.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Now I'm imagining them as polack dock workers in Baltimore. I always saw Gigan as a skittish Woody Allen type. Megalon is like his friend he's known since grade school who turned into said dock worker. But they're still buds. Not everyday buds, but they still got each other's back. Hence why Gigan runs into help and nearly gets killed by Jet Jaguar.

He almost got beat by the earth's military in the showa movies and then in Final Wars he got beaten not once but twice by a butterfly. He's the only monster in that movie to get a rematch and he loses twice.
