    I keep hoping for a Godzilla remake that does it some justice, the Mathew Brodderick one came close but was still not quite there. My greatest Godzilla moment was when they finally released the original Japanese version of Gojira.

    I don't have time for "humans are the virus" and nature will balance things. I guess the Permian Triassic extinction event had lots of things to fix as as it eliminated 90 - 96% of all known species on the planet. Pretty much everything that happened in the Cambrian explosion was eliminated from the earth.

    These are evolutionary / environmental changes where conditions to favor life improve or degrade with serious results. It's not mother earth and a sentient process. These ideas make kids even dumber than they actually are.

    I wanna see Godzilla wreck shop in Metropolitan tokyo. Yes I know the entire film was a loose metaphor for the atomic weapons used in Japan but who cares. Somebody could probably come along and explain how Frankenstein is a loose metaphor for the artificial creation of "civilization" and how it's an untamed monster that refused to play by our rules, but at the end of the day I just want to see him being chased by villagers who are symbolic of those who just want natural freedoms restored.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Cool

    OK... for SOME reason, ya' gotta watch it in TWO parts, on Daily Motion, BUT... here is the GREATEST Godzilla. MST3k presents... Godzilla vs. Megalon!

    (Well, I see the Daily Motion video - claims to the contrary notwithstanding - does NOT work on this site. So here's part 1: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x51y1rc )

    ONE video per post, so here's pt. II - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x51y1yp

    One of the GREATEST episodes ever, because you get "Rex Dart: Eskimo Spy," the "Jet Jaguar" anthem at the end, and the greatest dropkick since Wrestlemania IV, by the big guy himself!

    If you guys don't grade Godzilla movies on a curve of at least one full letter grade, I don't know what's wrong with you. Low standards make for happy campers, so I'll be bumping at two full letter grades when I watch it...

    Basically, we just want our fun monster movies.

    Like guys running around with flamethrowers and tommy guns fighting giant ants.

    We are cool with a little backstory, character development. That drives the story and makes more tension, drama, fear, accomplishment, etc.

    We can do without the SJW crap.

    Next thing you know colleges will be teaching evil white Christian males were making a new weapon for the military industrial complex when their meteor bomb experiment went back in time and caused dinosaur extinction, human beings were originally meant to be temperature sensitive lifelong transgender hemaprodites in communal utopias until our future greenhouse gas and carbon emission issues caused the ice age retroactively, killing them off, Atlantis was a subsaharan utopia that had international trade with an indigenous South American utopia until European knuckle dragged introduced disease that killed them off, etc.
