@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!

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.

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

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

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

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?

@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

Oh right! This is the movie that ruined Kashmir. I'd forgotten that. #Monsterdon

It's been a long time since I've watched that Godzilla movie. That was a lot rougher than I remember.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

be a shame if there was a sequel hatching #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I thought she already got fired?

(Remember insurance cold-callers?)

And here's the sequel hook, which then became the animated series hook, I think?

sequel bait! (which ended up as the cartoon so I guess it's ok) #monsterdon

But wait one egg remains.

#Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Godzilla, from 1998, was actually just three iguanas in a trench coat. We also had,

I guess I remember why I didn't remember this ending. That was an effed up ending. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

I think this movie took itself much too seriously.
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998

Yes yes.. egg. Now END #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The hatchling will be playing for the Knicks?

@yatsu Well, to be... unnecessarily kind to it... to remove evidence of DGSE involvement.

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

Is that the runt of the clutch which survived? #Monsterdon

And we leave you with the star of the animated series....

-fin
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

"Who was that french guy?"
"he was a prof-" *is hit by multiple rocket strikes* #monsterdon

END! #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT FADE TO BLACK #godzilla1998 #monsterdon

Now they're going to punish us for all the denouement jokes with 20 minutes of wrap up. #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

He survived because he's just 'Philippe', not 'Jean-Philippe'.

this will not be one hell of a friendship

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

Goddamn psychic frenchmen #monsterdon

"I don't think we should exploit this it could backfire"

Why didn't the producers heed this advice why? See what happened? WHY?? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Doug Savant got more of a fucking character arc than anyone

She shoulda punched him! #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

And NOW, they fuck off into an eventual divorce

#monsterdon

"One hell of a job, soldier!"

And with that, O'Neal finally felt the love and acceptance he never actually got from his Father. #monsterdon

It took a monstrous rampage for
Audrey to develop the self-respect needed to quit her job. #Monsterdon

one hell of a job

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

The Mayor just lost his campaign manager

I think I care about this a millimeter more than the “romance” sideplot

#Monsterdon

I could swear the car scene went a bit differently when I saw it as a kid, but eh.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Dramatic end of lizard life ending poor Zilla #Monsterdon

RE: https://retro.pizza/@CactuarJoe/115880151307321438

This!! #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

#Monsterdon

No Michael Myers comeback moment? Aww.

And for some #BTS...

This is a two-part segment from a documentary about the miniatures work on this film.

but yeah nah fuck this movie's ending in particular. #monsterdon

Next comes the #KingKong1976 reference - they did the heartbeat thing!

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

The movie ended and everyone cheers.

#Monsterdon

I tried looking up how many products are advertised in this and there doesn't seem to be an exact known number but it's a LOT #monsterdon #godzilla1998

#monsterdon the scene setting here is "I wasn't going to kill you, Matthew Broderick. I'm a humble misunderstood creature. Will you let them kill me just because I tried very hard to kill you?"

it's afraid! wait, wrong film

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io Wow, that one really fought you!

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

#monsterdon I want Frenchy to hit them up for the cab fare. the meter was on.

Ope. That got it. Good job, daikaiju. You smooshed a cab. And the Chrysler building. The power curve in this movie is completely fucking backwards. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

i'm falling asleep. when something is all spectacle, there is no spectacle. also i was checking the runtime and my watch stopped #monsterdon

At least Godzilla got one of the most drawn out death scenes I've ever seen in a monsterdon movie
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

"why are we all standing in the rain? go home! it's over!"

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

Ok, they killed the best character off in this movie.
#monsterdon

It’s making injured doggo noises wtaf?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

SMOOCH THE SCHNOZ, MATTHEW! SMOOCH THE SCHNOZ!

Now it finally has to rampage, use it's breath weapon and fight Mothra.

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Nick would totally fuck godzilla if they let him, you can tell just how he looks at it
#monsterdon

Tangled in a bridge, taken down by a few missiles. Truly GINO. #monsterdon #godzilla1998

😢 #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

@CactuarJoe

What *does* work on him? Flattery?

#Monsterdon

So much rain. Why is there so much rain? #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO
