FINALLY THE GODZILLA SONG!

i don’t remember hearing it at any moment in the movie.

this is not the best Godzilla movie but as a callback to 1954, they absolutely understood the assignment.

also, now i wanna see Pacific Rim again to see what else Del Toro stole from this movie.

thanks gang. today was awesome!

it feels appropriate that we're taking in a Godzilla entry that is explicitly engaging with the story's roots in nuclear horror, the same week as the anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

What a great movie. This is by far the modern goji that I would say is closest to being my favorite if not for the power of the original's messaging (which cannot be defeated IMHO)

I was a little skeptical in the beginning but I really enjoyed the way it developed its characters, made Godzilla truly feel like a menacing threat, and had plenty of good drama connective tissue. And even stayed relatively faithful to the nuclear horror allegory, if not undercut it a fair bit with the militarism.

Have a nice week everybody!

During Godzilla's detruction of the harbor earlier, this poster is shown. It's a pic of the real Lucky Dragon, the Japanese fishing boat that was contaminated by radioactivity in mid-1954. That event was the main inspiration for the original Godzilla in 1954.

huh, a neat little nod to reality - in the command centre, looking at the camera view as being actually broadcast, it's like... 4 frames per second? in other words, the pack she plugged the camera into is frame-slicing for bandwidth reasons.

i mean, that's still better than you'd've been able to get at the time over 2G, but at least someone thought of it

Godzilla hates visitor centers and educational pavilions. And don't get me started on his blood feud with gazebos!

All-Out Attack does have one of the better plots for a Godzilla flick -- it's far more coherent, for a start -- but the pro-military bits really do irritate the shit out of me >_> #monsterdon

Mothra's primary attack is calming shiatsu massage.

I feel like Yuri riding one-handed while on a phone is a little nod to how widely prohibited this is in Japan (despite the frequency with which one will want to do this with an umbrella)

Yes, thank the entire military for protecting us from the threat of nuclear annihilation! Don't stop to ask where that threat actually comes from, just salute like a good girl! #monsterdon

The hardest hit victim in all Godzilla movies is infrastructure. It's always bridges and refineries and ports that get trashed.

@CactuarJoe @flowerpot @paco The Showa movies are basically one continuity, and G gets less directly hostile, more "Humans are annoying but I live here too".

Heisei is all over the place, but mostly G is heroic.

Millennium movies are each their own continuity with the first movie, and G's much more hostile.

Legendary makes G the alpha of the planet, we just live here.

Kinda like that the movie emphasizes that Yuri's dad hasn't seen combat before

although uh

you would think this is true for basically all of the JSDF, right?

"I taught my men to be proud of what they did!"

They didn't do anything. A scientist who didn't trust your fucking military took Godzilla out with a superweapon *that he took to his grave to keep out of your hands* #monsterdon

There is a lot going on with the name of "Satsuma" for the submersible.

It's a reference to KenpachirΓ΄ Satsuma, famous suit-wearer during the "Heisei" era.

It's also an allusion to Saigo Takamori, Japan's last samurai who lead the Satsuma rebellion against the Westernization of Japan.
