It might be hiding there and waiting to come back out and destroy shit, but what if it isn't?
#Monsterdon
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
@bunnyhero don't know about getting worse, buy it doesn't get any beyyer/smarter. #monsterdon
so... the mayor is supposed to be a stand-in for wayne knight, right?
Stealth Iguana #monsterdon
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 βWhich buildings are big enough to hide it?β #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
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 π¦π¦
The beaches stay open! #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO
Product placement ftw...if you're not paying for the Kissesβ’ you are the Kissesβ’ π
Bugging the mayor is simply SOP when investigating potential insurance fraud during an act of Godzilla. #Monsterdon
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
The French are in league with Godzilla. #Monsterdon
Siskel and Ebert? lol
They donβt know itβs Godzilla or they wouldnβt 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 Kissesβ’
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
nanananana
"worst act of destruction since the world trade center bombing" take a vastly different meaning 3 years after this movie came out...
@teledyn Yeah, I think Gino should've made it til the end. π£#monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla π¦π¦
"What are you thinking?"
Very good question, New Yorker Lady. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
because there had been a world trade center bombing but it just exploded in the underground garage oh no oh no
"In what city officials are calling 'Kind of a lame disaster'..." #Monsterdon
"the worst disaster since the World Trade Center bombingβ¦" π¬
π€¦
#monsterdon lol I knew it, I FUCKING KNEW IT, as soon as I saw "Jean Reno as Philippe RoachΓ©" I knew some dirtbag American would call him "roach"
"RoachΓ©" is so fake-French-so-I-can-make-a-hack-joke
Yikes. That bombing comment hasn't aged well. #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO
THAT IS NOT HOW BUILDINGS WORK
that establishing shot raises a question: does Godzilla knock down the twin towers in this?
I keep getting distracted by my nachos
Not that bombing, people. π¬
@blogdiva I think just 3.
WID(ga)F
Seeing the Twin Towers still weirds me out, all these years later
Heβs about to learn who he just pissed off. #Monsterdon
The Two Towers #Monsterdon
And slur number 2 hits the dialogue!!! :blobfoxo_o: yikes.. #Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon
AKA Blue Raja π΄
This guy is so bad at sexual harassment. #Monsterdon
He's just there for a slice with the oil lightly dabbed with a napkin, then he's off to Milan for Fashion Week. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
"You crazy wop"!? Sheesh. New flavor of casual racism.
#monsterdon
it was the 90s and everyone was referring to their significant other with ethnic slurs
Whoaaaaaaaa what? Are they allowed to say that?
#Monsterdon
@hollie@social.coop Nearly three million hunks of soggy steak! (apologies to Tom Lehrer)
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
@RobynGoodfellow ikr? hilarious
*Victor "Animal" Palotti
Oh fuck off with "No other island in the world", a weak excuse for this being set in Manhattan
Why is SecDef talking to a mere colonel?
there is a dinosaur loose in manhattan π€
and i am a huge misogynist π
That Sergeant O'Niell is like "man why didn't I stay on Abidos" #monsterdon
Slurs++;
Victor "Animal" Pilotti Device #Monsterdon
Godzilla's hiding very inconspicuously in the most populated city he can find. It's also nice and cold. Ideal.
Ok, even with all of the weirdos (affectionate) in NYC a multistory tall lizard is not going to be able to "easily hide" in Manhattan.
The footage is shock, all right. Shockingly bad!
