#monsterdon New York City customarily does not bounce.
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
but why does Godzilla have shapely calves?
Why is Godzilla still carrying around boats?
Great gams on Goji.
And now, I'm gonna do something even crazier! I signed us up to be the location of a Godzilla movie!
#Monsterdon
Prophetic
#monsterdon
Lol, the cop yelling βhey!β at the ground shaking
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
GOJIRA!!
Mayor "Ebert," hmmm. Can't imagine he has a dignified end.
Siskel & Ebert ruin NYC
#Monsterdon #Gino
So.... Godzilla is attacking NY because it knows America nuked him?
You know, it may not be the best CGI, but I love Godzilla and his BEEG fucking feet. Fun fact, if I remember correctly, some of the shots are practical effects. #Godzilla1998 #Godzilla #Monsterdon
Godzilla is the fish's answer to our mass murder of them. π¬
@CactuarJoe YEP. YEEEEEP. ENJOY THIS FUN MOVIE-LONG JOKE. #monsterdon
The destruction but minimal use of Godzilla in first scene is decent. Kind of a precursor to the second American Godzilla movie's very minimal use of Godzilla.
#Monsterdon #Gino
"Summer cold?" This film is too contemporary and relevant. #monsterdon
Why... are the planks of the dock that old many is running away on _exploding_? Being shoved aside makes sense, but the pneumatic cannon effect is a bit goofy.
MONSTER CHOMP
oop Godzilla got a truck! Good for you, big guy.
Godzilla, the OG Low Rider?
Finally some people who use umbrellas in the rain.
#monsterdon
okay Mayor Ebert is actually pretty funny.
ZILLA! ZILLS HERE! :ahhhhhhh: :ablobcatrave: :ablobspin: #Monsterdon
I love the flash of lightning when Brodrerick says 'the radiation is the clue" classic monster movie stuff. #Monsterdon #godzilla1998
Mayor Ebert, yes ππ #monsterdon
Reduced crime by causing less of it maybe? it could happen
...mayor what #Monsterdon
boo vote for godzilla instead
"...Mayor Ebert gives this town two thumbs up!"
godzilla: where fibsh :3
He's not mad. He just wants to eat fish. #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO
#monsterdon So, I guess we've got to go through the director's whole list of NYC cliches and stereotypes before we can move the plot along?
Dang ANC headphones, didn't hear the enormous kaiju coming my way!
#Monsterdon
I'm still hung up on radiation creating "a hybrid"... hybrid? hybrid of what and what.. and what does that have to do with radiation? #monsterdon
Obligate truckivore too!
Lizards from the warm part of the South Pacific love the Atlantic coast.
Well at least that was some pretty cool stunt work for people's resumes. #Monsterdon
That's the politest Godzilla ever. Carefully not stepping on the car-oh. Well. That was a New Yorker, it's probably karmically neutral. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
to be clear, Godzilla's actual feet do not match that footprint in terms of toe shape + existence of dewclaw
No, too many people are getting killed. It's not even going to be satisfying if the sexual harassment boss gets eaten.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Jurassic Park rip? check. #monsterdon
And I thought my morning commute was chaotic *twiddles cigar*
#Monsterdon
He hates cars!
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998
I feel like any fish this old dude catches is not worth eating.
tag yourself i'm the guy just listening to music on his headphones with 0 clue what the fuck is going on
#monsterdon Oh Yes! YES YES! OH YES! YAAAAY Chesapeakes gonna get some Tokyo Flattening Stomp Joy!
hey! there's our boy!
*Dock scene not lifted from Jaws.
They better not call Gojira a monster. After all, he never hit on his assistant.
WE DO get the classic roar in Godzilla's fist appearance. That is a good movie for this movie. One of the few good ones.
#Monsterdon #Gino
I like the boat on his head. I think Godzilla should be encrusted in vehicles. Boats in his head.
Cars and trucks between his toes.
Yes. Monster impact now.
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998
ANOTHER character in mortal danger because of driving while wearing headphones!
Have you learned your lesson yet???
There we go!! #Monsterdon
Remember, folks, seat belt BEFORE keys in the ignition
#monsterdon
Now we see a poor fisherman run from what he probably assumes is the biggest fucking fish, like, EVER! #Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon
Nobody seems the least bit fazed by the global neverending thunderstorm. #monsterdon
I'M TRYING TO CONTACT YOU ABOAT YOUR AUTOMOTIVE INSURANCE
Isnt fishing off the coast of New York in the 90's kinda inadvisable anyways #monsterdon
#monsterdon The moral of Mayor Ebert and his assistant Gene is don't give 2 thumbs down on an Emmerich/Devlin joint.
We could have followed Joe for the rest of this movie.
Boy, this sure did come out after Jurassic Park, didn't it
You never know what you'll catch in the East River.
@georgieboy If you're in a movie, make it a plasma sword. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
RIP #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla π¦π¦
Neat, a Stan Lee cameo #Monsterdon
The pier scene is very Jaws=-y..
#monsterdon oh man, remember shooting on location? Maybe it's not really the place they captioned it is, but it *is* a real field, those were the days
Old man CC: I think a large underwater object is moving towards me. #Monsterdon
Run, Hoggle
βHey, guys! I caught the Big One!β
I paid twelve dollars for that rod back in '48! Goddammit!
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 ah, the one that got away
Jump in after it, Joe. #Monsterdon
Million pound test line right there. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Time for the the guy who fishes for Balamb Garden #monsterdon
@Taweret 25:00 #monsterdon
"I'm a Mormon in New York, I'm soakin' ovah heah!" --@gfzoda
#Monsterdon
I think that I had a Godzilla 1998 movie cup. My shame is limitless.
Old fisherman guy is gonna get eaten, isnβt he π£ #Monsterdon
I like Kevin Dunn but he is so miscast as top level military guy. I don't believe Kevin Dunn could have survived boot camp at any point in his life.
If its the first of its kind, how does it have a name already?
#monsterdon
Ahh, the scene from.the original teaserβ¦
Who fishes in the damn rain? #Monsterdon
Take a drink every time a faux-New Yorker shouts HEEEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAH #Monsterdon
Here we are, the most and only memorable scene in this entire stinker.
@wohali@timeloop.cafe It got magical radiation based teleportation powers, obviously. Same as the survivors from Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
I need godzilla to do something at some point
I really do not care about this romance story being forced on us...
can we just go watch the mosnterverse godzillas instead? those are much more fun. #monsterdon
@log Considering how often this happens if I was in a movie on a boat I'd have a dang chainsaw or something
This movie is taking itself far too seriously. I saw this in the theater when it came out, and it was intended as a blockbuster, and all blockbusters take themselves too seriously. Itβs sort of their thing.
Dang, they have the whole cast of The Simpsons here!
#Monsterdon
Matthew Broderick isβ¦. a catch? #Monsterdon
TWIN TOWERS SIGHTING #monsterdon #godzilla1998
#monsterdon Their hair is shockingly low on humidity frizz with that amount of rain going on outside.
This is the movie that convinced me that Matthew Broderick can't act. He has a very limited range that managed to be bent as far as it could go to make Ferris Beuller seem like a good movie. Plus it was the 80s and we were dumb and got amused by an emotionless main character abusing his best friend just to get a ride in a cool car.
