#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 so in the news recently there had been France doing the last of their nuclear tests in the Pacific, and that's why this remake decides to blame the nukes on the French because you'll think "i, an intellectual, have heard of France on the news"

probably one of the last things to be offered on dvd, vhs, and laserdisc (according to the ad miru played)

#monsterdon

Mooooovie in the hole!

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Oh how I miss the TriStar pegasus 😢

#Monsterdon

RIP Daigoro
#Monsterdon #DaigorovsGoliath

still feel dazed from prev movie... may never find out what happens to Daigoro-kun...

#monsterdon #WrongGodzilla

i always feel like I missed out when I see the #Monsterdon tags and realize I forgot again, but tonight I'm glad to have. US Godzilla 1998 is a real stinker, and not fun.

Just tell em ya uncle works for Nintendo, baka!

#monsterdon #WrongGodzilla

Thanks @Taweret A fine good time with a very bad film. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

I bet 20 yen that the script writer was high AF.

#monsterdon #WrongGodzilla

Mouth spotted so not a moomin.
Thank gods
#Monsterdon

If a typical #monsterdon clocks in at 90 minutes, then this 139-minute monsterdon-a-thon was 1.54 monsterdons.

And a big apology to #monsterdon for fondly remembering #minilla out loud, that's my sign to stop posting XD

Daigoro Kaiju, loyal wingman

#monsterdon #WrongGodzilla

Now it's a hungry lamb. Trust me I hand raised one.
#Monsterdon

Woah, I dig that kaiju's hair!

#monsterdon #WrongGodzilla

wat kinda critter is Daigoro supposed to be anyways?

#monsterdon #WrongGodzilla

#monsterdon omfg this double feature, what if chitty chitty bang bang was a velomobile. It's pretty cheesy but I would watch a Ghibli anime based on the source material

edit: is Diagoro a Moomin?

@apLundell If they can throw out lawyers involved in litigation against the venue, they could *probably* catch a daikaiju. At least check their ticket. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

In the distant future of 1972, Japanese towns turn to kaiju in place of mascots...

#Monsterdon #DaigorovsGoliath

@strangefour the perfect followup #monsterdon

Kick uncle please
#Monsterdon

Good luck Daigaro. I guess
#Monsterdon

this MFer is like a One Punch Man C-level Hero

#monsterdon #WrongGodzilla

@msh @Taweret I would also like a little Jet Jaguar, as a treat. #Monsterdon

This is a film that tells you in advance exactly how seriously you should take it!

#Monsterdon #DaigorovsGoliath

"A Desperate Monster Tussle: in Jello!"

#Monsterdon

Awww shy bowels. Poor kaiju.
#Monsterdon

Thanks @gfzoda for watching that ridiculous movie with me, and providing one or two of my livetoots #Monsterdon

Partner: "what is this [credits] song?!"

me: "it's a mashup of 14 genres in one song like the movie!"

partner: "and also bad!"

#monsterdon

Daigoro ain't trying to hear about budget constraints!

#Monsterdon

Why are they starving Daigoro? The poor bean!

#Monsterdon #DaigorovsGoliath

Anyway, great job team, this is Alpha Control celebrating another movie launched into space.

Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

That drawing looked like a hippocatamus
#Monsterdon

Around 23:00 someone knocked on my door. Just about when I was watching the bridge scene in #Gocailla1989. When I went to look no one was there.

I'm slightly concerned.

If y'all don't hear from me tomorrow, keep an eye on the news I guess. o.O

#Monsterdon

Only 3 minutes in, and the miru miyaku media movie is already more entertaining than Emmerich's Godzilla.

#monsterdon #WrongGodzilla

Diagoro vs Goliath is maybe the result of trying to salvage an unmade Godzilla movie script. maybe?

#Monsterdon #DaigorovsGoliath

#monsterdon
Reminds me of how in Godzilla final wars the American Godzilla was on for like 5 minutes before getting squished.

How it should be.

Nipples Batman and Chin Godzilla #Monsterdon

@starkraving666 "Clearly visible", i mean.. #monsterdon #godzilla1998

This music makes me goosebumpy
#Monsterdon

I kinda wanna do final wars just for the scene where Godzilla kicks Zilla into the syndey opera house

#monsterdon

You would have thought they'd shoot at least one beacon into the thing.
#monsterdon

@xoagray literal hearts maybe

screenwriters', director's, producer's

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

RE: https://retro.pizza/@CactuarJoe/115880173328696756

I need a shower. #Monsterdon

The release of Dreyer's Godzilla Vanilla ice cream was forced to be postponed until May 20 due to the design of TriStar's Godzilla, which was intended to be left ambiguous up until the release of the film, being clearly visible on the packaging. #monsterdon #godzilla1998

What in the claymation??? Thank you, @miru , this is a great chaser!!!

#Monsterdon

and now some weird Wallflowers "Heroes" remix.

Please stop

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

@Taweret

It's all downhill from here...

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie LOL yeah, leave um something to ponder. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

@Taweret Maybe we should just watch Matango again so we can remember what joy feels like
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret , @Cherizilla , @JoeWynne , @paco , and all #monstersdonians .. you can exit to a perversion of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir now..

@Taweret enthusiastically

_good_

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

@Taweret It is a very warm and fishy-smelling wind. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

@yatsu Yes. They clearly filmed this taxi scene on a bright sunny day by dumping water all over the windshield.
#monsterdon

Reminds me of sitting in the lit up theater, watching the credits, after an epic movie, when I was like 20 and still did that...

#monsterdon

Oh god are we going to Bryan Cranston Godzilla next? @Taweret

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

there are some #monsterdon movies we revisit. that will not be one of them

@paco this remix is the musical equivalent of painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa #Monsterdon

anyway, watch the cartoon sometime and don't forget your complementary Destroyed Chrysler Building on your way out. Good night folks and thanks to @Taweret as usual. #monsterdon

so I did get a few bingo ^_^

but as ever, not complete coverage xD

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

I blanked this theme tune out of existence. Why was this used? Most of it is "uh huh yeah". Mandela effect says this should be deeper underground by Jamiroquai.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon 'Zilla's one remaining offspring will return in "Gila!" 2012
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2175675/

Well, that was a first for me. I missed this movie back in 1998, which was probably for the best.

Thank you @Taweret for hosting another fine cinematic event. And thank you everyone on #Monsterdon. I could never have made it through this without you!

every time a 3d raptor came up it reminded me how much they should have used way more practical effects for this film 😭

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

And that's that, Another #Monsterdon in the can.

Big thanks to @Taweret for organizing all this and @miru for the stream!

#Godzilla1998

This Led Zeppelin mix over the credits is as faithful to the original as this Godzilla movie was to the original.
#monsterdon

ok the movie was bad but one thing i gotta say... i miss when location shooting was a thing

#monsterdon

They missed one! BABY ZILLA RISES!

THE END

Quick baby Zilla grow up fast and eat everyone before they have a chance to make a sequel!

This could've been a Simpsons episode but nooooo we got THIS instead!

This #Monsterdon watch along was still great fun anyways thanks for hosting @Taweret as always!

#Monsterdon We have trauma bonded yet again

#Monsterdon #BTS

Ah, here's a much more comprehensive coverage of the various 'how it was done' for the effects shots.

EDIT: With the whole chin thing, I feel like while the iguana thing makes some sense, there was also a bit of a trend around that time with the design of a lot of dragons?

Like, I distinctly remember that being a trend in the design for dragons for a while. I want to say that was 90s to 2000s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVemsEaqCYs

Anyway... Cloverfield? Cloverfield.

(I have a theory if Monsterdon ends up doing Cloverfield as to why it hits so much better.)

RE: https://mstdn.social/@davesdogmaggie/115880017890054918

Dreams DO come true!

#Monsterdon

This movie had it all!

DEEEEEP HUUUUUUURTING

AND

Ennui

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Fun fact: The soundtrack for this movie was basically just tunes with badly-inserted Godzilla roars. #monsterdon

So fun. Thanks, everybody! This one goes out to you,

Gojira ~ Where Dragons Dwell

#Monsterdon

Of all the movies I get monsterdon finally up on the big screen for, it's this!?!?

#Monsterdon

I still have "From Hell It Came" on my Plex server. This one is getting deleted _tonight_. #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO

I could do without the P. Diddy corruption of Led Zeppelin.

#Monsterdon

there was exactly no car in this movie to toot fun facts about harumph #Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie 🫂#monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

#monsterdon

Kashmir. By Puff Daddy. Another crime.

#monsterdon Come With Me, the only part of Godzilla 1998 I'd experienced until today

Well that's 2+ hours of my life I'll never get back. At least I seem to have amused a few people with my time. Makes it worth it.

Love you all and hopefully see you next week! #monsterdon

it's adorable how they thought this movie would get a sequel #Monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew

Gazhimira!

Etymology: "Gorira" + "Kashmir"

#Monsterdon

Let’s NEVER do that again.

#Monsterdon

oh boy, that end song...
#monsterdon
#godzilla1998

I feel like the credits song goes hard, ngl.
#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

Frank Welker on creature vocals. Of course he was. #Monsterdon

We did it. It's over. The movie can't hurt us any more. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

I agree with @moira That was worse than I remembered. Mostly it's the long stretches of nothing happening that I didn't remember. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting! Have a great week Beautiful Mutants. #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO

#monsterdon Only 1 NY and 1 NJ cop credited?

What's with this variant of Kashmir?

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza Yeah, I'm thinking of rewatching Final Wars now.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

and we aren't listening to the Diddy song, the end, thanks everyone

#monsterdon

oh god what is this ending music lmao
#monsterdon

SEQUEL FUCK YES!

#Monsterdon

oh, good, sequel bait. just what we need, a sequel.

#monsterdon

And.... sequel bait ending. No way, Emmerdeur. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
