Godzilla May 16th, Am I alone who can't wait

[MichaelP]

Well, I guess it's because I'm almost 51 that the big badass monster means a lot to me. Lots of sunday mornings childhood memories.

The worst is i'm not even sure the new one will be presented in Quebec city (let alone in OAV or IMAX 3d)

Who can't wait either ?

[dyna mo]

Can't wait!

IN fact, we watched the original last night in anticipation, it's still as fantastic today as it was when I was a kid

I hope this one will be better than the one with Matthew Broderick.



Godzilla was more like a T-Rex. I think the new one will be shape-wise closer (without the zippers ) to the original one

I can't figure out why they keep making the same movies over and over. lol

They just made Godzilla again a few years ago.

Then they "rebooted" Superman...just a couple of years after they had "rebooted" it before.

They "rebooted" Spiderman a couple of years after the latest Spiderman movie.

I love the original Godzilla movie. And yeah, I loved all those crazy and funny Japanese ones they made in the 1960's.

But if they are making a new Godzilla movie, or Spiderman, or Superman...why does it have to be a "reboot" everytime?

We all KNOW the origin stories. At least give us some new adventures.

Maybe in this movie they will say it's Godzilla rising up from the depths after being in a deep slumber for years.
But I doubt it.

They will probably "reboot" it and reconfigure the "origins" story...again.

easy answer, because they know people will come and watch them.
Well we have no new ideas so lets just make an old movie again and make easy money

[CarlosTheGaucho]

Was my essential childhood movie, don't think I am up for a remake have fun

[dyna mo]

1/2 the fun about godzlla is that it's always been a remake. even the original godzilla was a remake of gojilla. It's a giant monster movie, all of them are pretty much remakes of each other. godzilla isn't that different from king kong really.

it's also been ~15 years since a godzilla movie has been released.

[Rmagnus]

can't wait either

Damn...you're right.

For some reason it seemed to me that the Matthew Broderick one had just come out 4 or 5 years back.

I guess I'm getting senile in my old age.

I was actually thinking the same but then remembered who I went and saw that movie with and realized we had broken up a long time ago. like a real long time ago! So I took a gander when that POS movie was released. it was bad news bears movie.

[Robbie]

So you're telling me that "Gone With The Wind" didn't come out a couple of years back?

My memory is getting bad...what were we talking about again?

All I know is my bunion aches! damn weather.

[dyna mo]

btw, that was the go-to line my grandma used to use when we were kids.

-Hey, grandma, what do you think about.....
-All I know is my bunion aches! damn weather.

[MediaGuy]

This one looks good! The Roland Emmerich/Mathew Broderick version tried to be too "naturalistic" and pulled the Jaws-hide-the-shark thing for nothing... that was not godzilla.

This is Godzilla:

:D

[bronco67]

Rest assured because this director made a good low budget movie called Monsters a few years back. He did all of the effect shots in his bedroom with off the shelf software. I was wondering what he could do with millions of Hollywood dollars, and now here it is. Can't wait to see that shit.

I want to see a big IMAX blockbuster with lots of death and destruction, but hopefully aside from that it'll also be a good movie.

[donedeal]

should look good on the bigscreen

holy crap, is it really that guy? Man, I remember that short, Ithink, he put it up on youtube, badass@!

[2MuchMark]

I'm looking forward to seeing the new Godzilla as well. What looks really interesting about this movie is that by the previous at least, it seems to involve some backstory about atomic bombs and nuclear energy. For me, I have a very strange fascination with the A-bomb era of the 40's, 50's and 60's. I would LOVE to go to Trinity point for example, and would love to visit a nuclear reactor one day.

I think its because there is a huge amount of interest in these characters and their universe, that the movie turn out didn't match.

I thought the original 1978 version of Superman was excellent. The FX were great at the time, but the story, characters, acting, was much better. The reboot (2004?) sucked donkey balls. The story was boring, the actors were all wrong for the parts, etc. Man Of Steel, the Superman reboot of 2013 on the other hand, was fucking fantastic. Great story, great acting, great characters, great FX, rich textures, amazing music, gush gush gush. I went to see it twice in IMAX and bought the blueray when it came out.

Reboots are just retries... sucky movies based on popular stories deserve a second chance in my opinion. Look at Battlestar Galactica for example..

[kane]

I love Godzilla and I'm looking forward to it, but I also understand the frustration with the reboots.

With Spiderman and Superman and any of the comic book movies they often have decades worth of stories from the comics to draw from yet they tell the same story over and over.

[dyna mo]

Ok, this is the trailer for monsters, after watching this trailer I recall this movie and it was fucking fantastic.

I have high hopes for godzilla now! yes!

I gotta watch this again too! Big fan of gigantic monster flicks

[Captain Kawaii]

Gonna pass on Hollywood bullshit. The originals are far too sacred in my childhood memories to be filled by movies made with sole intent to pimp the audience. When you watch it, know you have been pimped.

[dyna mo]

any bad feeling of being pimped by hollywood, wtfever that means, certainly peaked years and years ago for me. Prolly even with the broderick version of godzirra

[dyna mo]

re: the original, Kiing of Monsters, I had never seen the movie other than on televison, chopped up by commercials, watching it straight through was a great treat!

It's so campy and over the top without any attempt to do so, it really kills. The acting is so bad they have most of the japanese actors with their back to the camera when speaking their lines. Mason's character goes on the helicopter fight to the remote island to interview the tribal people and he's wearing a suit and tie! hahaha, classic 50s style.

I also couldn't help but make the connection between Godzilla and the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. There's so much fire too, Godzilla breathing fire down on Tokyo.

[AllAboutCams]

Should be good

Hollywood is an idea vacuum that has been taken over by accountants. Years ago? Naw, they are in full pimp mode with re-make after re-make after re-make, NOW. You're just mad cause you don't know SHIT about ANYTHING.

Only YOU and the American Nazi gets a woodie thinking about dropping a bombs and fire bombs on women and children. You are one sick piece of shit.

for the drunk dipshit:

With the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Lucky Dragon 5 incident still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons.

another for the drunk dipshit:

Godzilla's signature weapon is its "atomic breath," a nuclear blast that it generates inside of its body and unleashes from its jaws in the form of a blue or red radioactive heat ray.

It wasn't a short...a full length feature.

The thing about that movie is it was a character based drama first...

I'm trying to recollect the short film I mixed up with the movie, because it was really really good! I think it was a film student's project or something........hmmmmmmmmmmmm......

I saw recently that George Takei did about 15 character voice overs on the original film. Never knew that.

New one? .. it'll be released for home viewing soon enough for me.
