this is a misconception. kong is always a man in a giant ape costume, the ape on set is wearing the godzilla costume

The human stuff in Godzilla v. Gigan is great, and so is everything in Inframan. Sure it's always sort of silly, but that doesn't mean we have to give them a pass when it is also boring garbage.

Yeah I do intend to watch some of the Heisei Godzilla's I haven't seen, but I was hoping to not just do Japanese Kaiju movies. I'm interested in Attack of the 50 Foot Woman because of the premise, and I vaguely remember hearing about some late 90s/early 2000s giant spider movie being surprisingly decent

Undoubtedly that’s 2002’s Eight Legged Freaks. I haven’t seen it since it came out so I can’t really vouch for it but I seem to remember thinking it was entertaining at the time.

Them! is a very solid giant ant film that felt just early enough into the "giant X" fad that it was trying to make a film with a giant X, not a giant X film.

It’s Decent, there’s also BIG rear end SPIDER which kinda got buried by the syfy original/asylum movies but is actually a decently made b movie.

That movie is just Tremors but with very bad CG spiders instead of amazing practical sand worms, and a bunch of annoying people instead of Kevin Bacon. Like there are worse ways to spend 90 minutes but I'd rather just watch Tremors.

It occurs to me that the problem in these movies isn’t that the thing is too large, but that it’s too mean. If these things were big and nice there wouldn’t be an issue.

Exactly why Monolith Monsters is the correct answer. The antagonist is a big rock that makes more big rocks. The rock doesn't care one way or the other about human beings.

Mandy wasn't made by a raging misogynist anti-Semite using Christian religious stories with anti-Semitic intentions, so you're still one up on her.

no good deed goes unpunished i guess

just finished Kairo (or Pulse). definitely liked it a lot but what a bleak, melancholy film. a lot of anticipation and dread and very little in the way of big resolution.

Now Marmaduke, there’s something that’s nice but so big it causes a problem. Same goes for Beethoven (the dog, not the guy) and Clifford (the big red dog, not the Martin Short).

I splurged the $5 to watch Psycho Goreman, and it was fun. Probably my least favorite of Astron-6's output, but fun. If you didn't watch poo poo like Suburban Commando and garbage like that as a kid, I can't imagine it'll do much for you, but it was nice to see them do something goofy again. It was definitely at its best when it was subverting the genre instead of leaning into it.

My little nephew adores horror movies and wants to be a gore/monster artist when he grows up, so he'll definitely get a kick out of it.
