#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 oh no a GIRL scientist!

the 1990s were only slightly better than the 1960s

It's taken 20 minute to establish "radiation makes things big" which everyone seeing this movie already knows, particularly from the open sequence.

#Monsterdon

For people working at radioactive locations, there’s a remarkable lack of ANY kind of protection against radiation #Monsterdon

Without looking, I couldn't tell if the person Singing In The Rain was Matt Broderick or Hank Azaria doing Matt Broderick.

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Enjoy your VVORMS

#Monsterdon

just a humble biologist, travelling the world with his collection of kangols

#monsterdon

The idea of a government employee being the hero is so apropos for the moment. #monsterdon

I seem to remember a lot of issues with scale in this one. #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO

@amyfou@lingo.lol Tune in next week for Anella vs Godzilla!
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Can the french please un-release it? #monsterdon

Okay, the zoom-out on the footprint was good.

#Monsterdon

"That was a footprint!"

Sudden moment of "Where are the New Releases?" instant in Clerks.

#monsterdon

i'm a biologist :blobfoxsciencewoozy:

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

Broderick is not tremendously convincing as Greek-adjacent. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Oh the greek last name is going to be a running gag. How adorable... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

GODZILLA TOESIES!

"You're standi-" yeah, that's a predictable line. #Monsterdon

I don't have much to add beyond what has been said in 50,000 video essays on Youtube, but it really does seem like even bad movies from the 90s had some strangely good cinematography in them.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

I think that guy has been a military officer in every movie he's ever been in.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

It's a shame, really. If worm guy had continued his research long enough he'd be the first to discover Earthworm Jim.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

This is Ferris Bueller's Really Bad Day #Monsterdon

The US Army professional metal detector team at work

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe He's the [Colosseum]! He's the Toppalous! He's the Louvre Museum! #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Leon!

#monsterdon

He said, "Gojira", 3 times. Is something going to appear now?
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998

#monsterdon shit, everyone's gonna die. Good movie everyone!

#monsterdon

Shake it up baby, now! Shake it up., baby! Twist and shout! (Twist and shout)...

I, in fact, never vote in the polls. I just blindly watch whatever the crowd tells me to watch #Monsterdon

I refuse group responsibility wheeeeeeee!!!!!

Hey, he served on the SS Esses in Hot Shots! #Monsterdon

I'm pretty sure hypnotism doesn't make a person magically able to understand English but ok

#Monsterdon

Such a nice casting, great soundtrack, lack of screenwrite.
Damn, almos 30 years on this movie. I'm getting old.
#monsterdon
#Godzilla1998

the airframe/"digital title" mismatch is deeply, _deeply_ aggravating

#monsterdon

That's my Stuffalous! #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I beg to differ. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

this movie would be improved if jean reno started assassinating people.

#monsterdon

Redhead plays a lot of standars issue government guys
#monsterdon

Guessing that the guy who got in a traumatized old man's face with an open flame is the bad guy?

#monsterdon

So are Godzillas' 'fact' in this timeline?

#Monsterdon

Lucky for the doctor one of the guys speaks Texan

#Monsterdon

Leon the medical professional

#Monsterdon

He's french, and can't understand why there isn't a cigarette hanging out of the fella's mouth.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla

Ferris Bueller gets to do all the cool stuff on his days off

#monsterdon

That's affirmative, there are still more than 2 hours left!

#monsterdon

What was that, the golden lighter of truth compulsion? #Monsterdon

Meanwhile in World War II #Monsterdon

Lucky guy, he saw a good movie before dying early in this one.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Oh hey, I can kinda sorta follow that French without the subtitles. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

GOJIRA MENTION

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

WE HAVE GOJIRA #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

but why did showing him a lighter help?

Do you really check people with a Geiger counter? That doesn't seem right.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Was the lighter necessary, Jean Reno?

Doctor, you could just use a flashlight like a normal medical professional

#Monsterdon

He's full of cicadas :X #Monsterdon

Ah yes, the special translation fire!
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon be upon ye! Gird your lizard loins for Broderick and Reno acting only so much to get paycheck, and Hank Azaria is there.

Also, a really dumb Siskel and Ebert joke.

yeesh.

[ Japanese Continues ]

#monsterdon

tell me what you saw or I'll BURN YOU old man

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

is it good when the patient is radioactive #monsterdon

H.R. Geiger-counter

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

oh but we get subtitles for the french. i see how it is.

#monsterdon

Hey it's that guy from the Bond film. Dr Re No. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Those dastardly French, last week ruining DeathRace, now irradiating lizards to invade.

Best thing about this movie it's Minilla and Godzooky free. #Monsterdon

you know this movie is government conspiracy because everyone has little metal briefcases

#monsterdon

"But my work here isn't finished!"

That's what I say every time a #Monsterdon film ends without a denouement. :/ #Monsterdon

If it stops his singing in this movie, I'm all for it.
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998

Settle in for a predictable running gag about "Tatapoulos" supposedly being hard to pronounce

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon isn't a very European time zone-friendly event so I never usually take part - and won't now because #NFL and all that - but I'm guessing that it appears to be Godzilla which might mean it's something we own on DVD, as we have a few. For some reason. We'd never admit it, though.

chik chik-aahhh...

Yello ~ Oh Yeah

#Monsterdon

"You're being reassigned!" Because scientists are deployed like soldiers, apparently. You can file for a general discharge, but it takes 4-6 months at the best of times.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Tahiti - a magical place

#monsterdon
#Godzilla(1998)

Listen, I don't know what your work is, but we say its finished probably
#Monsterdon

you're being reassigned... to a different movie. (if only)

#monsterdon

Poor Jean Reno.

#monsterdon

So you all know this is just 2 hrs of US military propaganda right #monsterdon #godzilla1998

Ummm. Russians working for who now?

#monsterdon

off to a quick start in the bingo department

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

but my work here isn't finished :(

#Godzilla #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Flying banana. Does the iguana wanna banana?

He's the Toppalous! #Monsterdon

Movie.

You're not funny.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Umbrella guy just stepped out of Raiders of the Lost Ark, yeah?

#monsterdon

Some real solid security around the Chernobyl site in the late Soviet era eh? #Monsterdon (or early post soviet...like just sorting itself out I dunno)

Russians take their vermiculture seriously. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Perry Mason Narrating: The first time Ferris met Zilla...

Matthew Broderick as a worm scientist makes perfect sense for a godzilla movie #Monsterdon

Hey! I was going have those electrocuted possilbly radioactive worms for my supper! #Monsterdon

The dildocopter. #monsterdon

Wait, this movie is 2½ fucking hours long? I am not gonna make it. I am going to have to tap out early.

Did they have an intermission in the middle of this in theatres? I didn't know they made major movies this long back then.

#Monsterdon

So, is he a bait farmer for the local fishing industry at Chernobyl?

#Monsterdon

@strangefour

Yes, you did. I also saw George Cheung in the same scene

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Cheung

#Monsterdon

It's like dynamite fishing, but for bait instead

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

ah, THE LURE OF GOOD WORMS

#monsterdon

And now... our main character... worm guy.
*SIGH*
#Monsterdon #Gino

@cinebox US vessels need to catch up... #Monsterdon

Ah, the safety crew has arrived at Chernobyl. #Monsterdon

I'd rather see Singin' In the Rain
