#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

it's funny how the CGI is simultaneously better than I would have expected, and so visibly dated

but this hallway scene is really showing off how multiple reflections just weren't there yet in computer graphics

#Monsterdon

Speaking of 1998, we could be watching The X-Files: Fight the Future right now.

#Monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

@hollie I would totally watch Hunt for Red Godzilla.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

you can tell they sooooo wanted to sell a video game for this movie

#Godzilla1998 #monsterdon

EDIT: sorry this was an april fool's joke, sigh. i got bamboozled, 13 years later!

@Taweret the director roland emmerich has publicly stated that he didn't like godzilla (the monster). he did a reddit AMA in 2013 and someone asked him about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/GODZILLA/comments/1bgb5v/comment/c96kgnz/

the thread explains a lot.

#monsterdon

So it's not that Godzilla is immune to conventional weapons, it's that the US military shoots like Cobra troopers.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

wait

is The Monster named Will?

this would explain a lot.

#monsterdon

Every time Godzilla mugs for the camera a quiche Lorraine just plops out of my beard, piping hot.

#Monsterdon #BeigneParty

Meanwhile, Broderick continues to be dollar store ID4 Jeff Goldblum

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The French are armed with Juicy Fruit. They are UNSTOPPABLE. or...something.

He has to turn in his worm badge. Now he's a loose worm cannon

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 they've been misgendering Godzilla the whole time

MPREG!

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 Godzilla defeats New York

Godzilla (1998) is a scam orchestrated by big fish to sell more fish

#monsterdon

these people seem very confident of godzilla's pronouns

#monsterdon

#Godzilla1998 hot take: it was the the 2012 movie, with John Cusak ―the cooler Matthew Broderick― before it was cool. change my mind.

#Monsterdon

Can someone please get me my own helicopter for my birthday? I really want one and I think I'd be an excellent chopper pilot, kthnx

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

FISH HEADS
FISH HEADS
ROLY POLY FISH HEADS

#monsterdon

I was kind of excited for this because of Matthew Broderick and the new gordita supreme.....#monsterdon

THE SOUNDTRACK HAS BOWIE’S HERO?!?!?

#Godzilla1998 #monsterdon

okay, headcannon: the dumb soldier retires and becomes NYC's Cabbie Prince. he's so good he's practically a tourist destination in his own right. Hank Azaria and his wife open a foundation to help all the people now homeless in NYC, and they end up basically fixing the entire problem through sheer human decency. literally every other person in this movie dies in excruciating pain, being made to watch this movie on repeat until they repent.

#monsterdon

Puff Daddy’s singing is soooooo terrible

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

that was a grueling experience, wow #Monsterdon

Finishing off with some sex criminal babbling over a classic Led Zeppelin record.

Classic 90s...

#Monsterdon

Did the redhead just accidentally discover she's a lesbian cause she kissed sneezy guy?
#Monsterdon #Gino

Godzilla died

FOR THE FANS

#monsterdon

look even Godzilla wants this movie to end already.

#monsterdon

This is such a damp movie, I think this might be our wettest movie ever. #Monsterdon

Bridge scene not bad, could have just cut the rest of the movie

#monsterdon

#monsterdon the director shot this in total darkness so the special effects team could all pay their mortagages #Godzilla1998

Gojira can outwalk an attack helicopter but can't catch a yellow cab...

#Monsterdon

"Must Go Faster, Must Go Faster"

wait this isn't a Jeep.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 if you didn't take a pee break earlier, it's ok to take a pee break now after the fake-out ending

Okay, tho, I do remember that movies in the 90s did eventually end, they were not interminable slogs

#monsterdon

I know I speak for the whole human race when I say we are okay not being dominant species any longer. Over to you, Godzillas.

#Monsterdon

Moreover, Madison Square Garden must be destroyed.

#monsterdon

using the internet to contact the outside?

it's crazy, but maybe it's just crazy enough to work

#Monsterdon

@hollie

Jean Reno has been in a lot of Luc Besson films but that doesn't actually *make* him Luc Besson :D

#Monsterdon

OH MY GOD

THEY'RE DOING THE DOORS

IS THE KITCHEN NEXT???

#monsterdon

He knows what imprinting is, right? Because he's screwed

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

Well somebodu saw the poster for Alien

#Monsterdon

You may wonder what Siskel and Ebert thought about being lampooned in Godzilla. Siskel said "If you’re going to go through the trouble of putting us in a monster movie, why don’t you at least take advantage of having the monster either eat or squash us?" #Monsterdon

That's it! Movie's over! Time to go home!

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Godzilla 1998: With Some Severe Editing, We've The Footage For Four Movies Here

#monsterdon

I torpedoed my own sub twice last night

#Monsterdon #BeamMeSnotty

They will receive the Order of Lenin for this

#Monsterdon

The French spies just told the FBI they were White Nationalists so they were left alone to their warehouse of guns and stolen utility vehicles.

#Monsterdon

Jean Reno has wandered in from a significantly darker movie

#Monsterdon

oh my god this is a Hallmark romance Godzilla movie

#monsterdon

"and it's Gojira, you moron"

the line isn't bad, but again, the movie didn't earn it

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 fish! fish for my family

I would ask if there is a fan cut of GODZILLA (1998) that improves things

but that would require there to be fans of GODZILLA (1998)

#Monsterdon

This is not a *good* movie, but I really think 9/11 had more to do with its lack of lasting cultural impact than the actual quality of the movie.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

NOW KISS!

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

The wannabe Jurassic Park scientific wonder music is a BIT much.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Man, this is a LOT of shots of the World Trade Center.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

This movie got kind of memory-holed in the '00s, and I'm sure it's because right when it was the proper age to start running weekly on basic cable and become an LotR-level meme factory, NOBODY wanted to see New York getting wrecked.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

i forgot rhat half of b-movie GenX Hollywood are in this #Godzilla1998

#Monsterdon

my forks? LIFTED.

#monsterdon

Having now seen more 'real' Godzilla movies, I can appreciate that this fishing bit is actually a fairly nice homage to better movies.

And the exploding dock stunt is pretty cool, too.

#Monsterdon

OH LAWD IT COMIN

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

"It's Nick!"

Okay, the nice girl will get the nice nerd? I can maybe find a way to make it through this movie

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

So far 23 minutes in they have established:
* There is a Godzilla

#monsterdon

DANGIT! i neeeeeeeeeeed to know how this #MidsomerMurders end before i can #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

This would be so great if it was Ferris Bueller, and like he grew up to be this research scientist (or whatever he's supposed to be) and it's FERRIS vs. GODZILLA, I can really picture this

Some guy shows at his parents house, "He saved the world nine times, Mrs. Bueller. NINE TIMES."

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

Lol the captions

[Men screaming]
[Men shouting]
[Men groaning]

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

@Taweret in honor of its brief appearance during Godzilla (1998) tonight, how would you feel about adding It Came From Beneath The Sea (1955) to a future #monsterdon ballot? We could call it a spiritual ancestor of Tentacles (1977)!

#monsterdon JUST ONE MORE THING,

I cannot believe the number of times this movie tried to do the scene where a person stands alone, going ❓🤨❓as danger unfolds in front of them or sneaks up behind. I think that idea is pretty cliche, but any action movie can do it well, once.

I zoned out a bit and fast forwarded to keep up and still I noticed a scene like this at least 5 times

OMG this #ShinGojira is THE OFFICE, but downtown Tokyo before the kaijumaggedon

#monsterdon

It's really too bad there was never a sequel in which we got to see Chin Godzilla fight the giant mechanical spider from Wild Wild West (1999).

Come on, '90s kids, you know what I'm talking about

#Monsterdon

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

Wow, that's the first time I've seen one of these polls go over 50%. The people are speaking and they are chanting Fuck Godzilla (1998). #Monsterdon

all of late 1990s hip hop was the same, YEEE-AH

#Godzilla1998 #monsterdon

this movie is a fun watch but also like a terrible godzilla film lmfao

4/10 it's watchable but the raptors are clearly not as high budget as they wish they were

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

And now the teaser trailer for the animated series with Junior.
#Monsterdon #Gino

"who was that French guy, anyway?"

for fuck's sake

#Monsterdon

"More water on Broderick, MORE WATER!"

#Monsterdon

Yeah I think I need to watch a good Godzilla movie. Bleh. #Monsterdon

And there it is again.
#monsterdon

so, is there any scene in this movie during which it is NOT raining?

#monsterdon

Gotta have the bouncy tire out of the wreckage just to make sure all the tropes are covered.

#monsterdon

is this where we talk about suspension bridges not failing like that?

#monsterdon

try doing that in a waymo suckas

#monsterdon

see, Godzilla's like a cat, trying to get in the tunnel

#monsterdon

We previously established that Godzilla was galloping around downtown at >=80 knots, about 150km/h. We're supposed to believe now that our protagonists are doing more than that in their hotwired yellow cab? Or is it that Godzilla is so heartbroken about the building full of its offspring being barbequeued by surface-to-air missiles that he can only just barely slug along at less than half his running speed which, as we just covered, was explicitly called out earlier in the film?

#monsterdon

Oh I know why this is still going on, they must have a joke or two about the French they haven't used yet. Frog legs, probably?

#monsterdon

I cannot get over the panther noise omfg

did your audio engineer even try

#Monsterdon

@ricci on the bright side: we cannot ever watch a worse Godzilla movie

#Monsterdon

this part of the score sounds like it belongs in a batman movie tbh

#Monsterdon

FINALLY they got someone who could hit something.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 damn the bombs missed the characters

selecting from 10 different armaments on my F-18 like I'm ordering at a drive-thru

#Monsterdon

The Zrouble with Zillas

#Monsterdon

we paid for the entire score

and by god, we're going to use the entire score

#Monsterdon

It's not like this isn't the first movie where New York is just abandoned to the Dinosaurs....

Did she just say "the Internet" in a way which implied the writer does not know what The Internet is?

#Monsterdon

@trixter "an intranet. I know this. " #monsterdon

I wonder if this was pitched as a Godzilla episode of The Simpsons and things just got really out of hand

#Monsterdon

It was a law in the 90s that every action movie had to have a scene of someone awkwardly waiting for the elevator

#monsterdon
