Hey uh, is there a Kaiju Discord channel? I can't really imagine one was really justified up to now but figured I'd ask. Just kinda collecting up servers for my specific interests just now. For reasons.

Turns out I need the Cine D discord channel. I assume it's in a stickied post? This is pretty much the only thread in this subforum I read actually. I have very specific film interests what can I say.

It'll be my first trip to Japan but I'm tempted to go even though I don't really speak Japanese. Just seems cool to make it to a new Toho Godzilla when it's brand new.

I'm on a family vacation to Japan and got to see Minus 1 in the Toho Cinema in Shinjuku. The one with a giant godzilla head poking out the top. I do not speak a lick of Japanese but I didn't have issues following the story at all. I will be curious to see subtitles eventually to see if I misunderstood somethings. Godzilla in this really feels like an angry force of nature and I really dig the design. My previous favorite was Shin and this is probably my new favorite. I saw it in a 4D showing with moving seats, lights, smells, wind, etc. It was kinda wild. But feeling a kick in the seat (literally) when Godzilla stomps the hell out of something was pretty amazing. Also there was someone definitely crying in the theater at the end of my showing. The end is sorta emotional but it really got to this person... Also I bought a couple Godzilla sofubi from the theater on the way out.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Hot drat! Did you get the blue sparkle theater exclusive? In hindsight I should have taken a photo of their display. That one I believe was sold out (I definitely didn't see it) and I ended up with a Godzilla and a Hedorah that are both kinda lustrous purple. I'll grab a photo when I have a chance and share back in the sofubi thread. We also went to the Godzilla store (I think this is a pop up shop) inside a nearby mall which had a decent selection. Edit: nevermind just adding them here.

MrMojok posted:Please, tell us a little more, in spoiler tags. Any other interesting little tidbits you can think of? Sure. I have been phone posting so worried I'd flub it and spoil folks. I'll break it up with some seperate sections for easy pick and choose spoiling but some of these might be considered story spoilers. Movie timeframe: The movie takes place over the course of years from 1945 to 1947. Setting: Most of the movie takes place either in Tokyo or in the ocean around Japan. You spend a fair amount of time at sea Godzilla behavior and biology: Godzilla's tendency to stick out of the water at waist height despite the ocean being way to deep to stand comes up a lot. It's even illustrated in a late movie plot point Early movie godzilla biology he starts smaller in 1945. Like 2 or maybe 3 stories. He gets bigger later on Mid to late movie godzilla biology Godzilla is much bigger. It's hard to judge but mutiple times bigger. Taller than 5 or 6 story buildings. The radiation breath attack is extremely bad rear end. The spines glow and extend starting from end of the tail to the head in an accelerating rythm. When the breath attack fires they all slam down on his back. His face is singled and he regenerates each time The feet. They are huge and stompy Movie action (throughout) (some story spoilers) there is some pretty decent human ingenuity used to combat and attempt to escape. My favorite being a boat that decomissions sea mines from the war. They extend a mine on a long line, re-arm it and get Godzilla to bite it. It doesn't ignite so they fire a gun they used to blow up mines to set it off in his mouth. I could do more detail once I have a chance to think on it. Still pretty pumped with what I saw.

Dangerous Person posted:4DX is dumb as hell but a lot of fun. I went to one for Alita and it made the race at the end feel really cool It was a good fit for Godzilla. The only kinda immersion breaking thing for me was the fans that pump in smells are kinda loud and obvious.

Finally back from Japan. Sharing my relevant loot here as well. I could have happily bought more if suitcase space and budgets weren't a concern. Getting to see the movie there and be a little caught up in the local promotions for it was really cool. Probably not something I could luck into arranging again.

Went and saw Godzilla -1 again today with subtitles this time. I had seen it before in Japan and of course don't understand Japanese. Definitely some important bits I didn't get when I saw it before but surprisingly little. Only things with no really obvious visual indicator or other obvious historical context. It's a movie that's well acted and nearly everything in it is portrayed in a way you can get without language and the emotional punch to it still hit home for me on both viewings. I couldn't say that about Shin. Not that that's a qualitative comparison. Just interesting to me as it speaks to how different the movies are from each other.

I know this hasn't been available for a long while due to licensing weirdness. Just posting it in case others weren't aware of the new release. Biollante on Bluray and UHD https://godzilla.com/collections/bi...ExBK6XuA.VR8svJ
