I just think KOM had a loving terrible main cast aside from Charles Dance. Generic Action Dad from Friday Night Lights is just so bland and terrible.

Early Edition has absolutely nothing likable about him as a character, while also dominating every situation and being completely acceded to at every turn by characters of higher authority and with more knowledge of the situation. It's like they intentionally tried to make the audience hate him.

They were clearly trying to go for a Bryan Cranston thing with him, but whereas Mr. Cranston has the gravitas to naturally dominate scenes his character isn't a dominant force in (eg, when he's confronting the soldiers in Janjira), the other actor did not. I think they wanted the audience to see him as a dominant force (an Alpha, if you will), but attempted to cheat the effect into reality by making everybody inexplicably bend over backward for him.

Some leaked pics of GvK toys are out.

Spoilers Kong has a spiked club
Godzilla has a metal harness down his head and spine
The Skullcrawler is back
A new monster, a winged snake thing called "Nozuki"


If you grew up in the 90s and remember the Jurassic Park dinos with the "Battle Damage", these Playmate figs are going to have that.

These new leaks match earlier toy leaks (at least the Mega Godzilla one one) and those early toy leaks also included Mecha-Godzilla.

The new one looks pretty cool.

my "favorite" scene in the movie happens there though, when she gets bonked by a gigantic foam boulder and it just kinda bounces off of her and is super obvious and terrible

It's hard for me to objectively think about Dogora, because I got it on a compilation of Toho movies in the 90s on VHS. That thing has existed in my brain for a long time

Soon.

Toho did a few "monster appears for only 30 seconds" movies in the early 60s. And no one talks about them for that reason.

Remember Magma, the walrus kaiju in Gorath? Me neither.

Gorath is weird because they put the monster in specifically to help sell the film overseas, but the US release cut those scenes. (And I distinctly remember the US VHS box mentioning the monster despite it not being in the movie.)

Dogora owns because the giant monster is entirely incidental to the zany diamond heist story. Dogora is an aspect of the setting, while the real impressive monster character is the massively entertaining Mark Jackson.

Dogora is a cool monster. It's a film that would really benefit from a remake/reimagining, especially considering the way Dogora eats carbon and all that.

I like the idea of a regular movie taking place during a monster movie. The problem with Dogora is that the diamond movie parts aren't good. And I'm just not as entertained by a white man speaking fluent Japanese as Japanese audiences were in the 60s
