Hey, I think we've watched that octopus movie for #Monsterdon
80 knots is 92mph. That's.... pretty fast for moving through the city. #monsterdon
Blowing the tops off of building in New York? No one would ever believe thaβ¦. oh. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
ugh whoops *Chrysler* building dangit
@Taweret@timeloop.cafe It may sound unscientific, but through the Fairies, we may be able to summon Mothra.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Fuck that building in particular! #monsterdon
The US military have the aim of Stormtroopers. Broadsides of barns all over town.
#Monsterdon #Gino
Negative Impact?
Negative impact!
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon nice fucking going, blowing up the Chrysler Building βΉοΈ
And there goes the Chrysler building!
@Taweret holy shit, yeah, these are just... awful.
Thousands of people would have died by now, I don't care about your "evacuate Manhattan"
oopps, there goes the Empire State!
I bet , ironically the World Trade Centre is spared....
The United States military famously hates New York architecture #monsterdon
Man, the Chrysler building just can't catch a break.
RIP Chysler builing. #Monsterdon
Smooth move, Ex-lax!!! #Monsterdon
You can tell this movie was made before 9/11 because they were allowed to portray the U.S. military as bumbling and stupid
#Monsterdon
@bunnyhero yeah godzilla is inexorable, not something you play hide and seek with
Boop!
Ineffective Helicopters named Echo like Independence Day: check #monsterdon
These fellas clearly went to Stormtrooper training camp.
Nice hit on the Chrysler building
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
Ha ha take THAT, Empire State Building!
It's like a big roadrunner.
#monsterdon
Not the Chrysler bldg!!
Goodbye, Chrysler Building!! THank you, armed forces...
they've got no masers. they don't even have a teen girl with psychic powers who can telepathically connect with the monster
what are we even doing here?

Director Emmerich admitted that he did not like any of the original Godzilla movies. That was part of the reason he went in a totally different design direction.
Future producers of MCU and other franchises would never again make this mistake with a director.
JESUS CHRYSLER YOU DESTROYED THE
They could have just pasted one little Urbanmech in there, with all the military hardware models in there. Nice little easter egg. Why not? #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
this whole Godzilla design just reads like Emmerich was super salty he wasn't the one to make Jurassic Park
Luke why aren't you using your targeting computer?
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Uh, did Godzilla breathe fire? I admit my Godzilla knowledge is, like, a couple of half-watched #Monsterdon movies, but I donβt remember Godzilla being a dragon?
Godzilla saunters at faster than 80 knots. #Monsterdon
Now an action(?) scene.
#Monsterdon #Gino
"Follow my lead!"
So I should suck and die, just like you. #Monsterdon
there goes the flatiron building!
the constant rain is 100% to try and make the shiny cgi look more believable. But did it work?
#monsterdon
godzilla running away from conventional weapons is NOT godzilla
Boooo, don't shoot him, he just wants to eat his dinner. :revblobfoxangry: #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon #Godzilla
Behold, this once was the height of the digital fx back then. Who would tell how Transformers would make it worse still
#monsterdon
#godzilla1998
CGI + Burton-era Batman quality model cityscape == please no.
oh I get it the fish will be worse than the coffee hon hon hon
Uh. Wait. He's got fire breath? #Monsterdon
What goes in must come out. Wait until he takes a giant radioactive dump.
#monsterdon... I don't recall Godzilla breathing fire. Of course this is the first one I've actually watched, but... Is this lizard supposed to do that?
So, this is kinda like, an alligator/dinosaur/man. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla π¦π¦
Fire breath!
@moira JOHN WICK IS JOINING THE FRAY
Jaws quote rip: Check #monsterdon
You don't need bigger guns silly American you need FRIGGEN MASERS #Monsterdon
it breathes fire now #monsterdon #godzilla1998
finally some explosions
When does Mothra show up?? #Monsterdon
"When we said fire at will, we didn't mean MISS!"
The herpetologist gaze
Emmerich is obsessed with falling object close calls I guess
The author's thinly disguised fetish
Godzilla: *is calm*
The military: Blow it the fuck up!
#Monsterdon
They just destroyed the Flatiron building!
"...nobody told me lizards can duck!"
Fire fire fire! πͺ
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
@Taweret I think it's the lizard.
YAY!!! Godzilla gets to eat the feesh!!!! X3 #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon #Godzilla
yeah looks about right
#monsterdon
Noooo my model buildings #Monsterdon
HE'S JUST EATING LUNCH, YOU DICKS #Monsterdon
And there goes the Flatiron building. Nice shooting, assholes.
Yuk yuk yuk, that's our army! slaps knee
Music seems to be a mismatch. Is the orchestra still reeling from the Broderick rizz? #Monsterdon
OH NO THE TRIANGLE SHIRTWAIST FACTORY
Sashay, and swipe. Move that tail.
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
is that a disposable camera
good thing the camera' got flash!
My god, this movie isn't even halfway over yet. #monsterdon
"Ok how do we indicate the location of the bait on the map?"
Propmaster: *opens clipart studio* #monsterdon
Godzilla is surprisingly chill...
#Monsterdon
@neia Tarrasque entry with a new label pasted over it. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
The soundtrack sounds like itβs about to end #Monsterdon
#monsterdon so Matthew Broderick was military-kidnapped because he's a radiation expert, but he also knows all about what a mutant iguana wants in a habitat because he's just a casual lizard enthusiast? Or what
Are you telling me New Yorkers wouldn't be out there armed of the teeth shooting out of every window? #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
The cast of The Simpsons, and a kaiju with a head for Futurama
That's a lot of fish π
#Monsterdon
The Desolation of Godzilla #Monsterdon
So Matt died of radiation poisoning from that spit, right? #Monsterdon
@Newpa_Hasai nope. 3200 was commonly available. grainy, but okay.
Please don't piss off the lizard by shooting it while it's looking at me.
#monsterdon I like how they put a fish marker on their map.
Someone on the military's team was very proud of that.
meet Godzilla. He trashes ships like Jaws and he has a majestic theme like the Jurassic Park brontosaurs
#monsterdon Shouldn't it be a giant pile of fruit if it's a mutated iguana?
The computer screen with the cheesy map and fish graphic is a nice touch.
You can't tell me this movie wouldn't have been better with Paul Verhoeven directing it
Hell yeah, free fish!
ok, music editor. you can go back to Led Zep's "Kashmir" now....
lol the big fish icon on the map screen
#monsterdon
Am I supposed to care that Broderick was standing in front of Godzilla? I donβt understand the point. The music is not helping
#monsterdon
Perry Mason, narrating: The second time Ferris met Zilla
(Everyone complains on youtube about the compositing, maybe they fixed it for the BR release? It doesn't seem terrible here.)
