Are major Hollywood announcements still shut down or has there been enough time since GvK’s release with no news been enough to conclude that “yeah, they aren’t extending the agreement with Toho and that was the last one”?

If they’re done I’m fine with it since I think they haven’t matched the quality of G14 and Skull Island even though I love the directors and their hearts were in the right place.

We’re more than likely getting a sequel to Kong before we see big G again. More hollow earth fuckery would be cool, it’s a fantastic looking setting and could be further expanded on.

I wonder if Legendary could introduce their own mechanical King Kong. Toho owns the rights to the Mecha Kong they created, of course, but is the concept of a mechanical version of a character unique enough that it can be copywrited?

Mecha Kong has a bit of history of bring legally questionable.

I think they thought about re-introducing Mechani-Kong back in the early nineties for the film that would eventually become Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, but, although they did technically own the Mecha Kong character they still felt it was too risky because, as with these kind of rights issues, there is a level of interpretation as to whether something violates someone else's property, and it would still be too close to King Kong.

So in theory I think with Legendary the reverse would be true. A robot Kong is too close to Mecha Kong.

Thankfully mine seem to be ok, but there are quite a few people mentioning their disks getting dirty. It seems like its possible to clean the glue off and the discs will still play.

Well guess it's a good thing I haven't had mine stored in the book for a while now(I keep them in one of those big CD/DVD folders with most of my other shows and movies for easy access and transportation)

Happy Noodle Boy posted:

GvK had Godzilla literally tear a hole through the planet to the core just so he could yell poo poo at Kong.

The movie absolutely owns and is unapologetic about how stupid it is.

I love how a huge chunk of the film is people dedicating their entire lives and ruining their families to trying to reach Hollow Earth and various shadowy organisations spending untold billions of dollars and manipulating the US navy to risk their entire fleet and thousands of lives so they could get Kong to Antartica but also secretly creating insane new tech that allowed humans to follow Kong through the warp gate to complete their secret plans, but at the end Godzilla just goes "Huh a hole would be handy right now" and opens up a direct tunnel pretty much instantly. :v:

The writing process behind the film sounded like a real trainwreck, just a whole bunch of people pulling it in different directions and insisting on various changes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_vs._Kong#Writing

They clearly wrote themselves into a corner for the end of the film where they had half the characters stuck in a super remote, impossible to get to location and the other half in Hong Kong (even after they had to invent bullshit secret undersea hyperloop tunnels to get some of them there) and had no clear way of bringing them together again until some intern wrote "Big lizard magic breath make hole???" on the whiteboard and then no one else could think of anything so they just went with that. It was so loving brazen, I love it. :v:

Said Hedorah goes up for pre-order tomorrow on the P-Bandai site for ¥19800. You'll need a VPN to check the site, and a proxy service like zenmarket.jp to purchase it outside of Japan.
