Have we considered the possibility that an EVA unit is gonna show up halfway through and this will be Rebuild 3.0 + 1.0 in disguise? Because I would be OK with that.

BattleTech posted:Just got back from seeing Shin Godzilla, I kind of hated it. If you want just a grade and is Godzilla cool in it; D+/C- and YES. There are cool things in it but it is not a good movie, I do recommend seeing it for having some really neat miniature filming tricks. I agree with the conceit of this post, but I love me some bureaucrat jokes, so I was happy as a clam. The moments of serious destruction were perfect, the moments that wouldn't be out of place in an episode of Veep were great too. I totally agree with you about the actress who played Patterson. For someone who was supposedly a 2nd or 3rd generation American her English was not very good. I'd say that they could have looked a little harder to find someone who was more bilingual, but I'm sure there are plenty of Hollywood movies where supposed Japanese can't speak it.

In an SMG-Esque note, I really loved how the end happened. They defeat Godzilla by literally turning the city against him, attacking him with train bombs and collapsing buildings on top of him, and the power of international relations and drone strikes. After seeing movie after American movie show the complete leveling of skyscrapers as a tragedy in and of itself, this movie turns it on its head and sees the buildings strike back! That would probably not fly in an American blockbuster at the moment, unless they attempted to play it up as a conspiracy theory. I also never saw this movie as anything resembling fascism. I understand where people are coming with it, but government did ultimately save the day. It's about encouraging collaboration instead of separation, both internationally and nationally.

Schwarzwald posted:I was recently linked to an article that quotes Hideaki Anno (the director of Shin Godzilla) and I think it might be pertinent. This is fascinating. I love reading about the weird cultural undercurrents of other countries that don't really have an analogue in the US. Japan's feelings about suicide are definitely right up there, not to mention the other odd things going on. That said, is Eva really a Star Wars level phenomenon over there? I watched the show when I was in junior high and still have some interest in it (watching End of Evangelion was a somewhat formative moment in my adolescence), but I didn't think it was on that level.
