#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

pretty sure Matthew could have sung better than that he might already be taking a dive for this movie

Matty Broderick not knowing the historical significance of Singing In The Rain

#monsterdon

He's actually listening to the Clockwork Orange soundtrack

#Monsterdon

Mmmmmm, Gagh #monsterdon #godzilla1998

MONSTER CHOMP

Godzilla: 1

Japanese fishing boat equipped with what sounds like an air raid siren for whatever reason: zarroo

#monsterdon

when does matthew broderick get eaten? is it soon?

#monsterdon

You know, this movie actually starts strong. It only gets bad when the white people show up.

…

I'm just gonna softball that one in for people.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Were the Godzilla films actually in need of a quirky scientist?

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

#monsterdon So we're going to go with totally shot struts and springs for why it moves that way.

Hrm, Ukraine

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

There’s a moment about three minutes into most #Monsterdon movies when I think “I dunno, it’s kind of ok so far. Maybe it won’t be as bad as the other movies we watch”

Wait did I just see...
I did! Hello Al Leong! Possibly the greatest "HEY THAT GUY!" character actor who you never learn the name of.

#Monsterdon #Gino

Chernobyl, the place where singing careers go to die. #Monsterdon

It’s always the tail that does the damage. #Monsterdon

Went from screaming in the rain to singing in the rain
#Monsterdon

Worms hate this one weird trick.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Please God. Stop Matthew Broderick from singing.

Fishermen always get the short end of the fish stick

#monsterdon

And there goes any hope of this being a good film.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

French?

#monsterdon

Matthew Broderick is so cute, I can't be mad

#monsterdon

Let's start the movie off with Broderick making a moving violation (driving with headphones on)!

#monsterdon

Little Alex driving the van

#monsterdon

MATTHEW FUCK OFF INTO THE SEA RIGHT NOW IT'S YOUR ONLY CHANCE

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

Driving with headphones?? #monsterdon

Oh wait this is Singing in the Rain? Fair enough #Monsterdon

actually had paused the january sumo tournament to watch this, and now they're reminding me of what i could be watching instead
#monsterdon

Oh, we 'zilla'ing now. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

#monsterdon If I told ya once, I told ya a thousand times, SECURE YOUR KNIVES!!! Or, have a Toho inspired Knife Party!

yes, roland emmerich, fuck that boat up.

#monsterdon

Wait, is this an American made movie with people speaking Japanese and no subtitles for those people? sigh

#Monsterdon

I'm calling the knife gag as the first truly incompetent moment of the movie. Kills the mood.

#Monsterdon

Who said Chef wasn't the most dangerous position for a ship's crew?

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

But how do you get a Godzilla sized egg from an iguana?

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

and there's Al Leung. #Monsterdon

Tonight on #monsterdon we're watching "Godzilla" (1998). Gen-X: We know. no need to @ us about it. Younger folks watching along: I hope it lives up to your memories of it!

How do they know about Godzilla already? #monsterdon

Ha ha Bishop do the knife trick only it's an android ship #Monsterdon

Yes to "Did the fish die?"
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998

...why does the sonar say "abunai" and not "危ない"?

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Radio room! Get hold of Toho's copyright lawyers!!! #Monsterdon

FISH-MERGENCY!

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Many thanks to @miru for hosting a stream of the movie tonight, I couldn't find my DVD!

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

@trixter I had two of the damn things! I am not sure where the other one went.
#Monsterdon #Gino

Noodle soup, fish, sumo wrestling on tv ... okay, so we're in Turkey #Monsterdon

Red lights, always a good sign

#monsterdon

Clyde Kusatsu! #Monsterdon

"ABUNAI" lol

#monsterdon

Guy watching sumo and eating noodles, so we remember Godzilla is Japanese

#Monsterdon

Sadly no #monsterdon for me but I'll follow the replay later this week, enjoy!

It's a Godzilla film, of course it starts with a boat. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Facehugger egg. Shazam!

BUTTS

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

it is unbelievably funny that in this story it's the French's fault

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon if only that were a Minya egg

Also, fuck you Emmerich. Has he made anything good? And people keep letting him direct!

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

@wohali@timeloop.cafe Being born, apparently!

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

You know, I remember being a young Owlbear and being excited about this movie.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

carrying the baton for the sci fi monster movie classic trope of footage of indifferent reptiles with dramatic music

#monsterdon

Orange was big in the 90s. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Just in the nick of time too! Hello everybody! We start with NUCLEAR MUSHROOM CLOUD HAPPY FUN TIMES!

YOU all voted for this #monsterdon #godzilla1998

Has forkiverse federated with timeloop.cafe yet?

If so a lot of fedibabies are in for a real treat (or nightmare depending on your taste;)

Sunday night is #Monsterdon watch party night! And tonight it's the OG Kaiju the self #GODZILLA ! :ameowbongo:

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 Roland Emmerich barfed all over this film

Yep, this is all footage of American bomb tests

Eniwetok, I think

#Monsterdon

For decades this movie was hated, cursed, and reviled in the Godzilla fandom. It was a joke. A cruel edifice laughing in our faces at the very idea of an American made Godzilla movie.
And it starts with the French nuking some iguanas.
#Monsterdon #Gino

I am monitoring this hashtag.

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter No, but David Arnold later made the 90s James Bond music, and Casino Royale. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Hank Azaria voices "Killer Croc"!

#monsterdon

The music has the write vibe.

Does TriStar even produce movies anymore?

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

2 hours and 18 minutes?

I wonder what the Godzilla is doin'

#monsterdon

ready for some WORMS

(that was some kind of plot point in this rght?)

#monsterdon

Omigosh iguanas! I love them!

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

ah yes, footage of american atomic bomb testing, definitely the fault of the french

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

@wohali NOBODY TWISTED HIS ARM

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Grunge-zilla

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

La Marseillaise means the murikans didn't start it I guess?

#monsterdon

(whispering) this is the Godzilla from Godzilla

#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 Well you're AMERICAN, why even would you?

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Was this music by the same composer who did Hunt for Red October? I refuse to look it up

#Monsterdon

Yes yes, War Never Changes, can we move on? #Monsterdon

The only show that has more Simpsons actors in it than this movie is.. The Simpsons.
#monsterdon

Lizards.

#Monsterdon

It's just weird watching a Monsterdon movie where an astonishing amount of money was spent.

Obviously too much money, but still...
#Monsterdon

@strangefour actually the cupholder is better than the movie

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

Attack of the amber scanlines!

#monsterdon

@strangefour Listerally every single person alive in 1998 had that cupholder and half stuff do.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

o god it's Roland Emmerich, I had forgotten. His culpability for this movie was eclipsed in my memory by the depth and depravity of his myriad other cinematic sins

#monsterdon

@moira @bunnyhero I just… this is the first time I *cannot* participate in #monsterdon, on the grounds that I’m old enough to remember how terrible this one was, and not in any kind of MST3K/Rifftrax/Monsterdon endearingly bad way. It was just shit. And an affront. I hope next week’s movie is actual #monsterdon fun instead of inexplicable corpo bullshit. Even that horrendous Inspector Gadget abomination would have been a better choice. @Taweret wtf???

Is the movie just assuming none of us know anything about the Godzilla backstory?

Really?

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

#monsterdon

Lizards everywhere!! Monitor? Komodo Dragon?

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

I would like to snuggle all those lizards and also @jivens

Harry Shearer, not as Mr. Burns...

#monsterdon

Root post for #Monsterdon , #Godzilla from 1998 today. I actually remember seeing this one in the theater for some reason. And I mean "I remember that I saw it in the theater," I don't remember much about what happens. Aside from Godzilla being in it.

And I'm going to guess that, at some point, a glass of liquid ripples ominously. That's just a guess, though.

...The French national anthem plays sinisterly, almost mockingly in the background.

Stuff like this reminds me how easy it was for Americans to get mad at the French after 9/11. #Monsterdon

Okay, let's see what amazing cinema #Monsterdon has for us tonight.

hank azaria??? hank azaria is in this??? (guys, i'm not ready.)
