Yeah I don't think I really dislike any of the Showa era except for All Monsters Attack. Biollante, King Ghidora, and Destoroyah are the best in the Heisei era. I also like 2000, and Against Mechagodzilla almost entirely because of the Mechagodzilla drop to rocket punch moment.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I attempted this once, watching at least 1 movie every day. I didn't get every far. I don't have a schedule for it because there's other things I also want to watch but I've been doing this very slowly over the last few months in order and really enjoying it. Except for All Monsters Attack.

Chronojam posted:The Yetee put up a bunch of shirts for Godzilla and Kong. They're usually reliable quality although they have been switching up manufacturers so no promises. I've actually found their newer shirts a lot more durable/quality than ones from a few years ago. May pick up a tie die Godzilla shirt.

I'm going to try and see it Saturday at the theater I can order food and beer at because I doubt it'll be shown very long. Pretty excited for a new big G movie.

Just got back from the movie, thought it was great. I liked seeing Godzilla before the nuclear testing and he kind of reminded me of '98 Zilla. His breath was incredible in this movie and I'm fine with the somewhat happy ending especially if they do something with the regenerating parts and such.

I ran out of room on my shelf for godzilla stuff but I need to make room for a -1 figure and if there's a cool pink zilla figure I'll probably get one of those too even if the movie sucks.

The modern western Godzilla movies have been awful with scale in general tbh, especially in 2014 but also in the Kong movies. I'll probably go watch this one in theaters cause the local place is pretty cheap and lets me order beer and food from my seat so I'll enjoy it either way. I'm not big on Kong's design but I like pink fin big G.

Arc Hammer posted:I dont care if the scale is wonky in 2014 if it means that we get Godzilla smashing through the golden gate bridge or towering half a kilometer tall at points. Yeah to be clear I notice the scale issues a lot in 2014 but it's not usually that big of a deal to me either if the action is still cool.

I think it'd be neat if I could purchase Minus One on blu ray with English subtitles before the Dune 2 home release comes out next month

I really want a steelbook 4k of this movie but I'll take a normal blu ray released in the US too. Please let me give you money Toho (also let me buy the few movies not available on blu ray anymore from Heisei era).

I just finished rewatching the Showa era and King Caesar doing absolutely nothing after getting a full length song to bring him out was hilarious. While I didn't love all the movies on this rewatch the only one I stopped and just skipped was All Monsters Attack.

It's time for Christopher Nolan's Godzilla: All Monsters Attack remake.

Megaguirus & Raids Again are both bad and I think Megaguirus is the worst, but All Monsters Attack is up there for me too, probably the second worst. Haven't watched '98 in ages so I don't really have an opinion on that one anymore.

HannibalBarca posted:I rewatched All Monsters Attack a few years ago fully expecting to hop on board with the emerging consensus that it's not as bad as its reputation would have you believe. I mostly agreed, except for the home alone style hijinks in the abandoned warehouse were utterly interminable and pretty much singlehandedly soured me on the film as a whole I rewatched the Showa films this year and turned off AMA at that point because it was so stupid.

I like King Caesar because the movie builds up to him appearing, he does, and then accomplishes very little before going away again and I find that very funny

So with Bio getting a western release again what does leave for out of print Hesei era stuff? I'm pretty sure I'm missing Return, Bio, and Ghidorah (and maybe Mothra) from buying the dual blu ray packs a few years ago to get most of the movies but I wasn't sure if there were others out of print or if any of the non-Bio I don't have released again.

Gripweed posted:It looks like the Mothra trilogy is out of print and expensive now too. Yeah I grabbed that maybe a month or two before it went out of print luckily. Just wish things as big as Godzilla and related movies didn't go out of print at all.

Haven't watched Biollante in ages so I was excited to watch the Criterion release. I'm still not a giant fan of the movie overall (mostly because the whole corporate espionage plotline is very silly in practice), but it looks great in 4K and Biollante is one of my favorite designs overall.
