Rat Flavoured Rats posted:Anyway, I have a regular movie night with some friends where we tend to watch films that trend towards the funnier-goofier side of things and get drunk. Good times. I was wondering if someone could recommend a Godzilla film with some silly moments that would be good to watch with friends and drinks please? I'm fond of Godzilla vs the Sea Monster for silliness. The whole opening with the human characters is silly. Most of the stuff on both islands is silly. And who can go wrong when "I know ! Let's wake up Godzilla !" is a reasonable solution to the character's predicament ?

I think I might have seen it first in the 2014 Godzilla thread around here, so I was wondering if some other goon might recognize what I'm talking about here. You're thinking of the Foremen's "Godzilla Has a Midlife Crisis". They're a comedy folk song group, and they're pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHfp75gmr7Q

Stairmaster posted:I was rewatching this and i just noticed its pretty much stated that the us was planning on more than dropping a few bunker busters on Godzilla. It seems like they were gonna re-enact rolling thunder on tokyo with the damage predictions they gave the ministers. They showed a map of impact sites. It does indeed look like just carpet bombing the city. Again. The characters had an "oh poo poo" and started putting out the word to get underground right away. Which probably saved a lot of lives when the laser death beam came out.

The_Rob posted:The more I've thought about it the more the English doesn't bother me. We have American movies all the time where actors botch another language. We just don't realize it because it isn't our primary language. Shin Godzilla was a Japanese movie made by a Japanese director with Japanese actors made for a Japanese audience. Exactly. it's our turn now.

Drifter posted:I thought Skull Island Kong was mostly nothing to write home about. It felt about the same as The Mummy(2017) in terms of something that felt like it should have been a lot more cooler/awesome than it actually turned out. By the same token, I was loving floored by Shin Godzilla with how its story evolved. I was NOT expecting such a level of destruction, either I'd compare Skull Island to Aliens. As the mystery unfolds characters are picked off one by one by weird and deadly critters. I also compare them as fun action movies. And it has Samuel L. Jackson doing his best Captain Ahab impression. What's not to love ? 8.5/10, did everything it wanted to and did it well.

Mantis42 posted:G14's plot was fine, but I prefer my human plots in Kaiju films to involve crazy sci fi plots about cockroach aliens. Or some crazy dude desperate to get a boat to go rescue his shipwrecked brother. That trailer looks fine to me. I see twin girls, mechagodzilla, lost civilizations, all sortsa stuff. I like the first one ok, but it was pretty straightforward. This one looks nuts, which as has just been said, is just right for a Godzilla movie.

Watched a bunch of Godzilla and wants to get stuck in t the classics ? I like Godzilla v Ebirah/The Sea Monster for the antics of the human characters. Any time someone says "I have an idea ! Let's wake up Godzilla !" and it's actually a reasonable plan given their situation, you know you're in for a good time. Also it has Infant Island and Mothra in it.

Peanut President posted:it's called an adventure movie Skull Island is actually an action comedy. It's mostly dark humor, but things like the flashbulb popping off after the camera (and John Goodman) got eaten, or the helicopter getting grabbed and thrown by Kong just after Sam Jackson's crash are definitely humorous. The ending is upbeat, further qualifying as a comedy.

Desumaytah posted:Godzilla vs The Sea Monster is such a weird movie that I can't help but love. It makes a ton of sense that it was supposed to be a Kong movie right up until they started production. That Mothra song near the end was super-good, too. That's one of my very favorites. I'll recommend it for anyone wanting to get deeper into the series. The stuff with the human characters and evil cult carry the movie nicely, plus a lot of good Godzilla characterization. It would stand up without giant monsters, so adding kaiju turns it all the way up to awesome.

Because if it is, that's not a good sign for D.C. The Potomac is a major river, but I don't think you can normally get an Arleigh Burke class DDG up to Capitol Hill.

Initial reaction: "DOPE as gently caress ! 11/10 !" I"ll let it sink in and just say that some people are really bad at watching movies. The testimony before the Senate committee was loving titled as being a Senate committee. Anyone wondering if that was Congress or the UN missed something that was literally spelled out in writing.

Vince MechMahon posted:Not understanding the moms motivation when she literally gives a speech about it. Not understanding how the monsters get around so quickly when you not only see them go through a hollow Earth tunnel, but they have a guy shout about how John Goodman in skull island was right and they get around through hollow Earth tunnels. Like this poo poo is all right there, people are just somehow getting retrograde amnesia for all this poo poo, or just weren't paying attention. If you think the humans were boring or whatever, cool, but don't blame your failure to grasp things the movie screams into your face on the movie. I'm starting to think some of the posters ITT watched a cam rip their roommate put on, and were on their phone for all the bits that were monsters smashing cities. Chronojam posted:She was. That's the point. From suddenly reviving the macguffin device project which is taken as a surprise maneuver and first hint the protagonists have that something is wrong, to orchestrating the extraction of Ghidora and clearly being the one to intentionally and without duress awaken him (several characters in dialog confirm that plot point-- it was definitely her and definitely on purpose), to the literal televised speech she gives saying "I, scientist lady, am an ecoterrorist." In the first few minutes of the film Maddie emailed her dad to say she's worried about mom, the kid knew mom was up to something.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:I don't think it's a coincidence that a movie that isn't great in how it presents it's story telling has a larger than average number of people confused about the plot. This movie presents a lot of plot points as random toss off lines or information presented on a screen instead of shown happening. That's a fair point, there are way too many blink and you'll miss it plot elements which leaves the human plots ultimately thin at best. Skull Island is the better film, but I don't want anyone to skip seeing KOTM on the biggest screen they can get to.

It's got an entertaining human plot, Infant Island, Mothra, Godzilla styling on jet fighters, and the line "I know ! Let's wake up Godzilla" as a perfectly reasonable response to how hosed the human characters are.

Seeing the two of them next to each other really highlights their differences. G14 is a realy, incredibly huge animal, while Shin is this radioactive thing that shouldn't be. They're going far with that in their effects/editing reel.
