Do not show your Godzilla-crazed five year old the trailer to a new Godzilla movie that neither he nor his dad even knew was coming right before bedtime. "Oh my god!" "Daddy, how he get so gigantic?" "What did they do to him?" "I think he bigger than 2014 Godzilla!" The most critical issue of course: "I want to see his [new] atomic breath."

I just checked Fandango and it's playing at a theater that's about ten minutes from my house. I told my five year old Godzilla nut and he literally hopped up and down. And then I had to break it to him that he's not going to be able to know what the characters were saying because he can't read the subtitles. But he says he's still good to go.

Hat Thoughts posted:There's the reverse problem now though, stuff like Seinfeld and Malcolm in the Middle airing in wide-screen despite it being designed for a different ratio. And The Simpsons. One of my all time favorite sight gags is literally eliminated by going widescreen. The characters stand there silently; if you hadn't ever seen it, you'd think the editors screwed up and left a few seconds of the equivalent of dead air.

DeimosRising posted:Which joke homie, don't pull that poo poo, sorry. It was when Homer and Barney do the tour of the Duff brewery. The guide points to three tanks right next to each other, each with a different flavor of Duff. The camera pulls back enough to reveal that one pipe is supplying all of the tanks, so it's just bullshit marketing. In widescreen, the top is cut off so you don't see the single pipe. It's just like the guy says his setup, then Homer and the others just stand there staring.

Got to watch it last night in less than ideal circumstances. A friend reviews movies for a small website and was given access to a screener online. Despite all of the issues, and there were many, I really liked it. My son liked it too except for the end he was very angry that Godzilla "died", even though this was a "bad" Godzilla. The first third or so really hammers at the Fukushima and Tepco angle, not to mention questioning Japan's rigid adherence to titles and formal hierarchies. This director, like Gareth Edwards, understands that if you want people to be awestruck by something big, the best way to do it is to either be very low and close looking up, or pulled very far back so that you can see the monster's size in relation to the carnage it has caused. There's a ton of shots where Godzilla takes up a tiny portion of the screen, but he is the head of a massive trail of burning ruins that underlines the damage he is doing. The movie does have a lot of bureaucratic scenes yet without (mostly) the hilariously goofy science of most Godzilla movies. If the movie can be divided into three major attack sequences with politicians and scientists doing their thing in between, the gap between the second and third does drag a bit. The effects are top notch, no-apology-necessary stuff.

Verisimilidude posted:I like how visceral this movie is. When Godzilla first shows up as a weird hosed up lesser-evolved Godzilla it elicited a response of "what the gently caress?" from the audience. Later on when it started barfing fire, the reaction was as you'd expect, but when it focuses into a loving laser beam the reaction went from "yeah!" to "holy poo poo..." and everyone in the theater got really silent. You expect Godzilla to be powerful, but that was when Godzilla became more than just a fire-breathing monster. When that happened, my six year old didn't think it was Godzilla. "What is that?!" He wondered if Godzilla was going to fight that weird thing. But then he noticed the spikes.... .

Waffleman_ posted:Because they already announced Godzilla vs Kong for 2020, and both movies feature the government agency Monarch. They've been pretty explicit about them being related series. There was also a poster they put out that showed some poo poo if you put a black light on it. In particular, some prose about a monster from Sumerian mythology called Humbaba. Check out his Wiki, could be one crazy movie monster. http://moviepilot.com/p/new-kong-skull-island-poster-is-hiding-some-godzilla-sized-secrets/4121811 In other news, I feel so stupid for missing something. Obviously Shin Godzilla took lots of cues from the Fukushima disaster. But I was watching an episode about it on Engineering Disasters today and totally forgot that one of the ways they cooled the reactors was to pump water in using super long-armed concrete pumps. Same exact ones used to pump the coagulant into SG. Derp.

(Forgive me if this was dealt with earlier) I set up a Japanese PSN account last night and downloaded the Shin Godzilla VR tech demo for the PSVR. Holy poo poo. It's really short, not even two minutes, but it's fantastic. You are a victim stuck in the rubble, so you can't move or do anything, you can only turn your head and look around. You look to your left at the start and Godzilla's tail swings right over your head. Then you see him emerge from behind a building that is between you and him. It looks like he's going to just keep going but then he slowly turns and comes in your direction. They really nailed the sense of scale. I'm a bit embarrassed to say it, but as he bore down on me, I actually leaned back into my seat a bit. It's really cool. Here's the (obviously) non-VR video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-dqHHrzawo

One of my lifelong recurring nightmares is some kind of giant monster bearing down on me and the feeling that no matter how small I am, he is looking right at me. I've also always found Goya's The Colossus deeply unsettling.

Full grown will just mean bigger I don't see how that ends well for Kong given Big G literally atomic breathed one of the Mutos into a smokey pile (which was def one of the best scenes in that film). Kong will be much much faster and more agile than G. Smarter too. The MUTO fights were pretty much sumo shoving matches, Kong can punch OH GOD I'M AN ADULT I HAVE TO STOP NOW.

The Cameo posted:There’s definitely no block on making more Japanese Godzilla movies; Anno just wants to finish his Rebuild of Eva series, which won’t be until 2020 according to a teaser that played in front of the new Hosoda film Mirai, and Toho wants to be developing new films immediately - he was probably approached, he informed them of what he’s doing for the next few years, and they went “well, okay then” and announced their intent to make Godzilla films without him starting with one they want out in 2021 and something every other year from that point on. So what was posted earlier, from the co-director of Shin, was wrong? quote:Shin Godzilla co-director Shinji Higuchi made crystal clear sense of the deal during his Q&A at G-Fest XXIV over the weekend, bumming out the entire crowd when he revealed that the parntership with Legendary means that Toho can’t make another Godzilla film until AFTER 2020.
