we might need to do a real Godzilla movie next week as a palate cleanser

#monsterdon

We're gonna need a bigger pronoun

It's like the movie is embarrassed to be a monster movie. it keeps going "haha isn't this silly, a giant lizard, we don't take this seriously" but also "no wait care about these characters, this is dramatic." pick a lane!

The thing about Godzilla (1998) is that it was bad in a way #Monsterdon movies usually aren't.

Usually when a Monsterdon movie is bad, it's because they didn't have the budget to pull it off, or their concept was just weird, or their technical or artistic skills just weren't up to it.

Godzilla (1998) had all those things in spades and more, but it still sucked. Because it was just *bland as shit.*

When a Monsterdon movie is bad, it's usually bad in an INTERESTING way. The tricks to doing something on a low budget are neat, or the weirdness of the concept is compelling, things like that.

Godzilla (1998)'s only passion was in tallying up how much branded ice cream they could sell if they added in ANOTHER scene that reminded people of Jurassic Park.

How compelling :/

Things we learned:

1. Jean Reno can really complain about coffee

2. Matthew Broderick saw that scene where his character is buying a bunch of Godzilla pregnancy tests and still thought this film was a good idea

3. Madison Square Garden holds many secrets (and gumballs)

4. Hank Azaria can make any role good, it is The Power of Hank

Thanks everyone! And thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon imagine if Ghostbusters had the 4 guys come down from the roof covered in marshmallow fluff, greet the cheering crowd,

and then another Stay Puft appeared across town, and they went over there and killed that one, and afterwards Venkman had a conversation with Dana about the future of their relationship, and then Gozer escaped into the sewers or whatever

DON’T GODZILLA
OPEN INSIDE

Thank you to @klu9 for pointing out that the person I keep calling Luc Besson is actually Jean Reno

Sorry everyone!

Je suis désolé tout le monde

Give the people what they want, Godzilla

@CactuarJoe @kshernandez "no no you see this Godzilla came about because of foreign militarism, which is bad, and the day was saved by american militarism, which is good (and also more potent)" - the Godzilla understanders who created GODZILLA (1998)

And as mentioned, there was a pretty solid spin-off cartoon that doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere but it's on the Internet Archive!

I'm gonna make a bold statement: This wasn't *that much* worse than a lot of the Millennium-era kaiju movies.

Though apparently the song I was thinking of was the *second* end-credits song.

But at least it's finally over! After a solid hour of refusing to just end already! Goodnight #monsterdon, see y'all next week, and thank @Taweret for organizing this for us!

I'm really glad Jean Reno lives

Audrey: Who was that French guy, anyway?

Nick: I think his name is Luc...B-something, wait, no, that's not right...

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

I know America has done a bunch of things to be ashamed of but this movie is one of them

#monsterdon

@Taweret yes plz
#Monsterdon #Godzilla

@apLundell Oh! This is another movie that could be improved by having a Muppet cast.

"how can HE be preganant?"

oh, baby, pull up a chair, and let me explain

#Godzilla1998 #monsterdon

Oh dear god... #monsterdon was the Emmerich "Godzilla"?

My sympathies to all involved.

Did Godzilla check the depth of that bay before he dove in? No, no he did not. Don't be like Godzilla and risk a spinal cord injury when you're swimming

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

We did it, #monsterdon - we conquered that which would have been "Too Long, Too Much Boring Shit" for MST3K

this is. THE POWER!

now let's never talk about Godzilla 1998 again.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Radioactive lizards off the coast of French Polynesia. I watched tuna fish glitter in the dark near Central Park. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

The original Gojira films worked because they torque certain cultural/historical anxieties in post-war Japan. This one works similarly on the USAmerican imagination by wrecking a food court and showing cartoon characters in humanface.

For anyone who doesn't remember the ending credit song, I just want to warn you that it was a hit single and it was *from this movie*.

This scene is making me picture Godzilla trying to get the last of the Pringles out of the can
