Take an Atomic Breath
Director Emmerich originally designed a power breath which was only strong wind.
News of this leaked and the resulting fierce fan backlash caused filmmakers to edit in "flame-thrower" breath.
Oh how I wish that shot of the skyscraper would have had a glimpse of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
thinking about how we've done movies with tiny budgets, a sliver of this movie's budget that were more engaging
HOPEFUL THEME OF AMERICAN MILITARY INTERVENTION! EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU TO THE APACHE HELICOPTER #Monsterdon
Worms... Godzilla... samsies
BINGO! Lightning, evacuation, free, science babble, fish, right down the middle #monsterdon
So stick some electrodes into the mud and zap 'em with a battery, and boom. Bucket of worms and a 'zilla. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
is matthew broderick suggesting we use matthew broderick as bait? please?
I love this scientist character and the way he talks about Godzilla, like, it feels realistic in a way and the nerd in me loves it. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 #Godzilla
I thought he electrocuted the worms out
They're not using their official Godzilla® Duracell™® flashlights
#monsterdon
Godzilla is NOT just "some animal" 😤
#Monsterdon
this dumbass corporal or whoever is about to be peeling potatoes for the rest of his life.
I know what Godzilla needs.
A better script. #Monsterdon
oh godzilla's not the enemy? he's just an animal? cram it in your bonghole, hippy
Yesssss use your worm summoning machine to call Godzilla to you #Monsterdon
Yeah, we totally didn't do that! But lets say hypothetically we didn't....
#monsterdon
Thank goodness Ferris had experience with… earthworms?
Mamdani sworn in where Godzilla attacked !#Monsterdon
all we need to do is electrify the soil of the entire island, and
Just tell it you got it tickets to Phantom in a week. It won't go anywhere. #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO
Ignoring the fact it can apparently swim?
again with the frickin earthworms...
HOW DID THESE FISH GET HERE
#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱
but how could he tunnel out of the city tho he has widdle front hands and a big old tushie
Have you considered a giant, cartoon bottle cork?
#monsterdon Did he say Godzilla was inside a building?
Do they have a lot of zeppelin hangers in NYC?
Oh this is a prequel to Escape From New York #Monsterdon
at least they know they won't be able to stop godzilla by painting a tunnel entrance on a wall
put a turnstile!
Wasn't the original Godzilla female? Lol #monsterdon #godzilla1998
@OldRustBucket "What do ze call zees?"
"Freedom fries, monsieur"
#monsterdon
@jivens I do keep wondering if giving Siskel and Ebert _characters_ was so that they had to excuse self-reviewing.
#monsterdon The anthora coffee cup! NYC ppl, can you even get coffee in these cups these days? I imagine films have to use copies from the "smeat" company...
Okay that's a good shot entering the tunnel #Monsterdon
The mayor balking at the cost of evacuating NYC is portrayed as a bad decision but to be honest that's what every single politician would do in that situation. You know they don't have the money in the budget for that.

Film reviewers Siskel and Ebert negatively reviewed Emmerich and Devlin's earlier films Stargate and Independence Day.
So we are not surprised to see characters Mayor Ebert and his assistant Gene as parodies.
It might be hiding there and waiting to come back out and destroy shit, but what if it isn't?
#Monsterdon
Chekhov’s subway station
Why not just follow the trail of MASSIVE FOOTPRINTS to wherever it went?!
French complaining about the quality of the bread and coffee isn't the funniest thing ever, but also works decently
Stealth Iguana #monsterdon
so... the mayor is supposed to be a stand-in for wayne knight, right?
So much rain.....
ooof, that's cgi not holding up well right there
it's funny, some of it's pretty okay, and some of it REALLY isn't
why do they need the worm guy in the destroyed subway
Hey, I used to live there!

@OldRustBucket Of all the cruel concepts!
Jaws-rassic Park.
Ok, so I feel like they could narrow down the search by asking “Which buildings are big enough to hide it?” #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱
but how would Godzilla get into one of the buildings in the area in order to hide in it? The doors are way too teensy for him!
@jivens SERIOUSLY?
French dude is not wrong about American coffee in 1998. It was the true horror.
watch it be a chameleon-like Godzilla.
@davesdogmaggie I've always found it highly entertaining. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎
The beaches stay open! #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO
Bugging the mayor is simply SOP when investigating potential insurance fraud during an act of Godzilla. #Monsterdon
Product placement ftw...if you're not paying for the Kisses™ you are the Kisses™ 😘
THE BEACH HAS TO BE OPEN OR
@xerozohar Not everyone carries their forgery kit around with them at all time! #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Like hell you can't get a croissant in NYC.
Okay the coffee is gonna suck. Fair.
#Monsterdon #Gino
Soooo... Mayor Ebert is supposed to be Roger Ebert and his assistant is supposed to be Gene Siskel? Is that what it's supposed to be? #monsterdon
ah yes, glance around before entering what is ostensibly your own van. that's not suspicious at all.
I love that they have the french flah on the van
#monsterdon
#godzilla1998
Yeah, Sinister French has not aged well. #Monsterdon
American coffee joke
Siskel and Ebert? lol
They don’t know it’s Godzilla or they wouldn’t be taking the subway train. #Monsterdon
jean reno doing shady spy shit? i thought mission impossible came out in 1996
Absolutely not. Literally just about the only fake Dino thing that would be worse to watch than this #Monsterdon https://mastodon.social/@saucerlost/115879765610281119
#monsterdon lot of very conspicuous brands in this film.
Worst. Fake ID. Ever. #monsterdon
The last reprise of indoor smoking
I knew it, I knew UPS was monitoring me. #Monsterdon
The subtitles changed "ex boyfriend" to "ex" in a surprisingly progressive move...
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Did he just let go of his umbrella and let the crowd of other umbrellas carry it off?
lol very official press badges there
Jean Reno doing some emotional cheating by thinking about Ronin while shooting his scenes. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Oh my god that song in the background is seared into my DNA but also I don't know what it is at all
The Siskel and Ebert characters were inspired by Emmerich's hatred of their poor reviews of his films.

PhD thesis idea - Get your AI prompt ready!
Due to cultural restrictions or lack of fan base, citizens of some countries never saw Godzilla movies until Godzilla 1998.
For the likes of Germany, Sweden, Russia, Hungary, the Philippines, and others, tonight's feature is the superior version and others are mocked. They particularly prefer the lizard-like form of the monster.
What's the Godzilla doin'
"La Rochelle Insurance: We're Professionals." #monsterdon
lol @ "La Rochelle Insurance"
Animal. Caiman. Roach.
Is tatapolous some kinda turtle in Greek?
#Monsterdon #Gino
Back off! Mayor needs his emotional-support Kisses™
Mayor Ebert and his bald assistant Gene.... they're going to fall in a pickup truck full of manure or something
World Trade Center mention oop
haha! More fat jokes. #monsterdon
oh they're digging in on the siskel and ebert routine
the comedy, it isn't
"And I for one WELCOME our new dinosaur overlords." #Monsterdon
That hole in the building shoulda been Godzilla-shaped. Like you should see his hands on either side.
Is he eating those wrapper and all? #Monsterdon
don't get between a man and his sweets
"since the world trade centre bombing" oof
nanananana didn't make that bomb
