When's it gonna stop raining?

#Monsterdon #Godzilla

#monsterdon ack shoe ally we settled on "Zilla" going forward, thank you #toho for that retcon.

Women are throwing themselves at the worm scientist and he's completely oblivious
#Monsterdon

"Good luck w/ your new career"

Sick burn, worm guy #Monsterdon

this is, if anything, worse writing than i remembered.

#monsterdon

Imagine having to act these lines....

#Monsterdon

I'm on the fence about if Cloverfield did this better or not.

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe two thumbs down #monsterdon

Yeah, we gonna toss you out because some info got leaked after the daikaiju wandered around New York City. InfoSec has to take priority over... whatever it is we brought you in for. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

there's lots of ways you can make a Godzilla movie work but you do actually need to pick a lane

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Quit making me feel something for Matthew Broderick.. it feels wrong, somehow.

god this writing is so dumb #Monsterdon

I want the Paleontologist and biologist to get togetherrrrrrr. C'mon kiss already!!! Dx
#Godzilla #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

you never said it was off the record!

um sorry i was busy girlbossing my way to a promotion that really backfired 💅

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

I wish they'd given Aldi-brand Sarah Harding a bigger role #Monsterdon

Eat a bucket of dicks, lady "reporter"

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Don't leave it to Hicks.That won't end well.

#Monsterdon #WrongHicks

Oh no! It looks like I’m missing a Godzilla #monsterdon
I’ve been working all weekend and I’m still not done 😭

The correct answer for the 30 Minute Poll is

SHERE KHAN from Jungle Book was used to design Godzilla's chin.

#Godzilla1998

@Taweret movie couldn't decide what to do, so it recorded and flips between both

#monsterdon

So MUCH rain though...

#Monsterdon

Their cover is blown. They were keeping such a tight lid on this giant lizard thing up to this point. #Monsterdon

Is there really still another hour of this? Yeesh. #Monsterdon

@cinebox Why not, scale to the buildings looks smaller than panamax (thinking more of the width than the length).

#Monsterdon

Do we know who Jean Reno really is yet?

#monsterdon

@chirpbirb That makes sense.

No.

It doesn’t.

#Monsterdon

@ramsey #monsterdon

looking for good coffee!

#monsterdon I'm off the project! Hooray! Off to ANYWHERE ELSE! See ya!

#monsterdon

The wrong character is apologizing for this mess..

compare that to actual good Godzilla movies where the tone is either:

Dead serious and the monster is a metaphor for nuclear trauma (the original, Shin Godzilla)

full camp and everyone's having fun (the Showa era stuff)

epic blockbuster spectacle that commits to the bit (Minus One)

#monsterdon

I still don’t understand what the French team is doing.

#Monsterdon

He's finally had enough of shitty American coffee.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Matt does the slow sad Tigger walk out of the tent T_T #Monsterdon

"Oh well, back to my worms!"

#monsterdon

Is there, a purpose to Hank Azaria's character? Or was he just a rider to Harry Shearer's contract? #monsterdon

My brain immediately thought he was about to say Dr. Nick Rivierra. Man, I've been watching too much of The Simpsons😂
#Monsterdon

"You're officially off this project as of now" Oh thank god. Can we go to bed now? #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO

This move could use about 75% fewer characters

#monsterdon

It's in my tent ... w/ my ex-girlfriend who ghosted me w/o an explanation ... but I'm sure that's unrelated #Monsterdon

Gojira, you moron!! #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

OH NO 'using manhattan as ground zero'

Did Godzilla go through the Panama Canal #monsterdon

it's gojira, you moron!

i thought i was watching the release version, not mst3k

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

Later, we can check each other for Godzilla eggs...if you're into it ;)

#Monsterdon

SHE SPEAKS FOR US ALL!

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

convenient news interruption for the govvie meeting

#monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie he just put some of the dinosaur's blood on it, just like how every pregnancy test works

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

this is why you never talk to men. #godzilla1998 #monsterdon

Two questions:

1. Who is this French guy anyway?
2. Do we really care?

#Monsterdon

@Taweret the classic hallmark of "movie by committee" bullshit

#Monsterdon

@apLundell yeah, it's like how iguanas in the wild get around bugs bunny-style

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ TRIVIAZILLA 🏙️💥🦖

Frank Welker, from Scooby Doo and other cartoon voice fame, does the "creature vocal effects".

#Godzilla1998

“Very quickly we could be looking for an enourmous population” #Monsterdon

Monitor lizards actually can reproduce without a mate in captivity
#Monsterdon

Oh, the French can’t pronounce the Greek last name either #Monsterdon

He's not a real doctor but he is a real worm #Monsterdon

I was typing… did he give the monster a pregnancy test, and if so, how?

#Monsterdon

the movie keeps undercutting itself. any time there might be tension or stakes, here comes a "funny" side character to do a bit. but the bits aren't funny enough to be comedy, so they just... deflate everything

#monsterdon

Why do we care at all about these French guys? #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO

#monsterdon

This relationship is fucked.

This movie gonna be cruel enough to not give us Godzuki. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Yes, Godzilla is technically a dinosaur in this adaptation, but he is also amphibious. His erect leg stance and theropod feet make his dinosaur ancestry clear. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 #Godzilla

@CactuarJoe that's kinda how the cartoon worked! :D #monsterdon

"What is this, the Virgin Lizard?"

You're laughing. A new life is quickly over-taking you & you're laughing. #Monsterdon

Given how little impact the people are having on her, why does Godzilla feel the need to hide? #Monsterdon

our wormthing #Monsterdon

Not even Godzilla's dumb enough to go wandering in Central Park at night

#Monsterdon

@socketwench Apparently the director confirmed that Old Joe was in fact okay, I can't really see how though. (Don't have a source, just something I've heard.)

(The actor sadly passed away I think a couple of years after this film. Can't recall the name but he was a very well-known character actor.)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

also Dr. T only used one of those home pregnancy tests why did he buy them all

@sean

You should label them NOT TOP SECRET because then people won’t want to read them or steal them.

#Monsterdon

His plan is to lure Godzilla to Central Park & let the tourists take Godzilla out. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon what an insane conversation between two people who broke up 8 years ago because one didn't want to get married

"Yeah, lure him into Central Park, and he'll get mugged for sure!"

#monsterdon

If I saw an exclusive report on an unfolding large scale disaster that ended in a nursery rhyme allusion, I would be at least a little upset.

#monsterdon

i don't understand why there are spies #godzilla1998 #monsterdon

um its my fucking story sweaty 💅 💅 💅

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

This lip thing is her schtick.

#monsterdon

Giant lizard assumed to be a He because it's destructive. Also, because of Patriarchy.

Find out lizard is pregnant.

Still refer to lizard as He/Him.

Is... Is this acceptance of Trans Dudes? #monsterdon

If only these people could hear the very loud noises that Godzilla makes.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

I like that the camera operator can be bought for a beer. From, admittedly, a beautiful blonde. But still. #Monsterdon

they could have just done a "oh! a girl dragon radioactive dinosaur!" like they did in shrek and it would have been fine

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

Well, it’s nice that local TV is always committed to the worst puns ever #Monsterdon

this movie has issues with scale, doesn't it.

#monsterdon

i still cannot get over the fact that i found that random mpreg godzilla gif and now it's ACTUALLY turning out to be mpreg lmfaooooo #godzilla1998 #monsterdon

Uh sarge, I think this wall is CGI #monsterdon

Yes, Matt, everybody ELSE comes to NY to fuck, why not Godzilla? #Monsterdon

Giant fatberg! Oh no, wait. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

I think the majority of Matthew Broderick's preparation for this role was "how would Cary Grant say this line"

#monsterdon

The scale changed once again for the sewer main shot.

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

@akamran Yeah like trans rights and all but this is an animal that does not have a gender presentation it just has a sex so... that's a she? Or at the very least a they if this is a hermaphrodite situation?

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Does this director hate the new trend of movies having ... visibility? #Monsterdon

My dudes, we don't need a flashback, these things happened about two paragraphs of plot ago

#monsterdon

Yes definitely take the tape conspicuously labelled Top Secret that's definitely what a worm guy would write on his porn to stop people from taking it #Monsterdon

The scientist role was written for Rick moranis, wasn't it?
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Hey! Haven't you ever heard of "be kind, rewind" #monsterdon

"hey, todd, where did you leave that top secret tape?"
"oh, right out in the open where anyone can grab it."
"good, good. glad to know we're following protocol"

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

👀 Watch for the elevator scene with Matthew Broderick.

The elevator music is "Danke Schoen". Remember that song Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)?

#Godzilla1998

Yeah, grab it girl. This is ACTUALLY what a reporter does. #Monsterdon
