The other heads had a lot of TV experience but not nearly as much as the middle head. It's just the way the industry is.

Thankfully the Oscar buzz surrounding the left head will make up for it. His death scene (in Mexico) was poignant.

I just received the 2nd and 3rd issues of the RC 1954 Godzilla magazines.

RC Godzilla build issues 2 and 3 by Doug Hardy, on Flickr

The parts in these two issues are (along with small internal frame and mechanism parts):

God drat this thing is going to be huge once built.

And the lower jaw/tongue

Also here are photos of the items that will be in this set that allows you to make a diorama of the famous publicity photo. Apparently some of these are among the more expensive issues.

Also apparently you can send away for this giant backdrop so you can make another scene from the film.

I watched and liked the new Godzilla movie a lot. It did the striking shots of monsters thing to the point of it being masturbatory and the whale song box.plot device wasn't very good but it was fine enough to push monsters into a fight with one another. It was better than Godzilla '16 on the regular monster fighting/pics of monsters front but way weaker on everything else.

I hope King Ghidorah's heads having distinct personalities becomes more of a thing, because it's fun and comedy gold.

The right head's the cunning and calculating one, it's the one that noms a power substation to draw from the power grid and later bites Godzilla to electrocute him.

I actually buy using Amazon Japan. I made an account on there and linked my Prime to it. I'm actually just manually ordering them, and keeping a constant eye out to see if the next few issues come up for pre-order. They seem to come up 2 issues at a time. Search for this ゴジラをつくる 4号 and just change the number for the issue you are looking for. I've got up to number 7 pre-ordered at this point.

A hill I would die on: Baragon attacked Paris in Destroy All Monsters, not Gorosaurus.

Baragon had a terminal illness during filming so Gorosaurus filled in to portray him, this is different from replacing the character in the film. That means, canonically speaking, the humans were correct to identify the burrower as Baragon.

No, no


Baragon is the one who did the burrowing, Gorosaurus was just along for the ride with his little buddy

Reminds me of Bradbury's The Fog Horn and how it was adapted to The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms

I'm annoyed with how often filmmakers just rip off the xenomorph for their monsters. Yes, any and every giant animal would sound like high-pitched wailing, good job! The last time I remember being really annoyed with it was the last Resident Evil movie, which had terrible sound work.

There's really a whole thing with sci-fi monsters being straight rips of the the Xenomorphs. Metroid even has a twofer, with the titular creatures being analogues for them with Facehugger-esque default forms, while Ridley is also more or less a xenomorph mixed with a dragon, in space. (and that name is not a coincidence)

It would obviously never work in a film where human characters tend to be near / around kaiju but god drat how badass would it be for Godzilla to literally shatter windows, rock buildings, and kill people caught nearby every time he roared. It would be an even further take of presenting him as a force of nature like the scene where he causes a tsunami just by arriving to a shore.

That's an interesting story that I may bring up in the "adaptation" thread- the movie wasn't planned as an adaptation, but Bradbury got wind of the production (maybe through Harryhausen who was his friend), threatened to sue over a similarity, and the producers decided to make it easy on themselves by just buying the rights to his story and billing it as an adaptation, which was also beneficial because Bradbury was starting to get known at the time.

This is also weirdly enough the only time Bradbury and Harryhausen "worked on" the same project despite being lifelong buddies.

Why do they feel the need to show off and intimidate humans? To me, it made them look either needlessly cruel or frightened of humans. Which is an interesting direction to take the titans in, it almost reminded me of GINO.

And I would disagree about Godzilla not acting negatively - if this isn't malevolence, it's the next closest thing.


A couple of pages back but I love this scene and I don't get this vibe from it all. I read somewhere that it's Ahab and the Whale looking at each other in the eyes and coming to an understanding, and I agree. The score (a soft reprise from Godzilla vs. Destroyah) and the way G's eyes move as well as Chandler's humbled expression don't communicate Godzilla intimidating them for the hell of it to me, but a more spiritual idea of common ground being found across the most vast of divides. I love it.

Gotta disagree. Dangerville is terrible! The reason being for me is this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwM8NQnC48 where he inexplicably claims that Godzilla films from the fifties, sixties, and seventies were using CGI because he assumes that any post-production effect must be CGI. This is something that he could have found out with the bare minimum of research (and anyone with even the most basic understanding of film history would have known already), and on that basis, and the fact loads of comments have informed him of his massive mistake and he hasn't deleted the video out of shame, I can only assume a lot of his videos are this shoddily researched and put together.
