"We want to know if there's a way to kill Godzilla" - noooo. #monsterdon

"What else could kill Godzilla?"
"Have you tried diplomacy?"
#monsterdon #gojira

Ah, the businessman with the white suit and the white panama, you can always trust that guy. #Monsterdon

a little saucy tail action from our radioactive lizardy sea monster, very nice very nice

#monsterdon #gojira

You know it's a good #Monsterdon when they have a swanky soiree on a boat during Monster Season

which movie did we watch recently had a river boat scene?

#Monsterdon #Gojira

i would simply not go on a lil boat cruise in kaiju infested waters

#monsterdon

I love the military-action theme, too. So optimistic, so wrong about how well it's going to go for them.

#Monsterdon

Better hide the swords from Scientist Dad, he looks low

#monsterdon

Plan A will almost certainly work!

#monsterdon

It's our first use of the "Marshaling the forces" theme! #Monsterdon #Gojira

The Part We Had To Thank The JSDF For, Part 1 #monsterdon

Oh good - Plan A!

#monsterdon

chilling reference to Nagasaki #monsterdon

close the beach? on 4th of july weekend?

#Monsterdon

odd how similar the vibes are to all the other godzilla movies that i've seen, where they should already have a godzilla protocol but they instead do the same thing they did the very first time he was discovered - debate its existence, use conventional weapons, wait until godzilla is done and FOITS #monsterdon

oh dang tokyo rail before air conditioning oof

#monsterdon #gojira

The NHK still struggles to inform the public b/c of this fear of panic lol #Monsterdon

Approximately 2 million years ago ... (Dinosaur lecture) ... We're all gonna die.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

#Monsterdon

ah, _diplomacy_. #monsterdon

Fukushima vibes again #Monsterdon

Yes hide it!

#Monsterdon Trivia: his name is a blend of Gorilla and kujira - the Japanese word for whale.

Sounds legit

#monsterdon

The Trouble with Trilobites. #Monsterdon

mate, mate, 2 million years ago all those things were long dead, it was giant mammals and man-apes...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Wait, come back, I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty!

This intermediate creature would have been both a Water Type and a Dragon Type. 🧐 #monsterdon

we tampered in god's domain is my theory

#monsterdon

Are those fault diagrams? Plate tectonics accepted in 1954? #monsterdon #gojira

Odo is a small island. I'm afraid these are the biggest crowd scenes we're going to get #monsterdon

Scientific slide show cliche: CHECK #Monsterdon #Gojira

two million years ago brontosaurus uh

okay

#monsterdon #gojira

"Two million years ago..." 😆 😅 #Monsterdon

the tail track inbetween the footprints is a nice touch

#monsterdon

Oh hey, that's genuinely creepy. The way its mouth opens like that is totally unnatural, that works *well.* :D #Monsterdon

Dinosaur man continues seeing dinosaurs everywhere.
#Gojira #Monsterdon

woa that sound effects, gorgeous #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the roar

HERE WE GO. THE G-MAN IS ON THE SCENE!

#Monsterdon

DADDY'S HOOOOOOME

#monsterdon #gojira

#monsterdon MONSTER MAW

@chirpbirb It's the Bell System at work for you!

#monsterdon #gojira

We love Yamane, and Yamane loves trilobytes and cryptids

#Monsterdon

This is not a mysterious bad person. #monsterdon

A scientist reading lethal levels of radiation and telling everyone to stand back instead of leaning down into it saying "Look at this" Man.. Mind Blown!. #Monsterdon #Gojira

thin, transparent poncho and lead-lined gloves is a STATEMENT. #monsterdon

I don't know if that's what Geiger counters are supposed to sound like, or if that's what they sound like in movies because this must have been an early 'un. #monsterdon

#monsterdon The spectacle of miniature helicopters being destroyed hits very differently when the actors and filmmakers are taking the scenes before and after very seriously.

Hi, I'll be one of your sexy leads for this film. I'm the cool edgy one.
#Gojira #Monsterdon

And on Odo Island, Gozer the Gozerian came in the form of a giant typhoon. #Monsterdon

"Well what could go wrong?"

We don't have enough time to tell you...

#monsterdon

eyepatch man!!!!

#Monsterdon

I’m thinking a “fact-finding investigation” is the 50s version of “thoughts and prayers”…
#godzilla #Monsterdon

There may be some cryptids, so it's just logical to conclude there are more. #Monsterdon

Ol' dude, I respect what you're tryin' for here, but starting with a list of cryptids that people giggle at is NOT going to convince people Godzilla exists. #Monsterdon

Yetis confirmed in the #Godzilla cannon.
#Monsterdon #gojira

The film so far plays like horror in a way that later pictures don't or can't.

#Monsterdon

So Gojira eats beef and pork

#monsterdon #gojira #godzilla

The screaming kid in the rain. Quite a shot. Very Akira Kurosawa. #Monsterdon #Gojira

"I miss the old days when we tied a girl to a boat and sent her out to die. Kids these days don't respect tradition."
Old man might be a dick.
#Gojira #Monsterdon

You're thinking of #venturecapitalists. #monsterdon

After a giant monster eats all the fish, we put a young girl out on a raft and that totally appeased the monster, are women like a power-up for monsters? #monsterdon

...human sacrifice time already? #monsterdon

"Elder disregarded" counts as "Scientist", right? #Monsterdon

Those noses are very suggestive. #monsterdon #gojira

I love the miniatures. #Monsterdon

"I knew it! It must be Godzilla."
There's always that one guy.
#Gojira #Monsterdon

Everybody moo at the cows -- hi cows :D #Monsterdon

Because it's very difficult to sink a ship on land, let alone mysteriously. #Monsterdon

I follow so many people who participate in #monsterdon that now the FOMO is kicking in and I might have to join one of these days

#Monsterdon #Gojira

Beware...there are some unsettlingly serious and sad anti-war scenes in this movie, unlike others we have seen previously.

The pace and tension in this is wonderful. At this stage it's a tragedy on a much smaller scale, a drop in the bucket for the horror yet to come #monsterdon

People watching the sea, mourning the dead, looking for any signs of the lost ships. #Monsterdon

Splash more water on the beached drowning man! You've gotta keep him moist! #monsterdon #gojira

I’m paying a little more attention to the movie than to the feed because I’m watching subs this time and also because it deserves it. #Monsterdon

'distress frequency' is what the crystal incense girls called my aura. hurtful. #Monsterdon

Whoops trying to catch up on #Monsterdon and getting "Showing 1 ad of 3" ! 😩

The lighting here is incredible. Natural-looking but really dramatic. Also, lots of shades of gray, back when people really knew how to design and shoot for B/W. #Monsterdon

REMAIN CALM

#monsterdon

lol, as if the owners give a fuck over those sailors....

#monsterdon

I think I really like how the cast we've seen so far have a much broader array of facial and physical types. It seems much less Hollywood-ized than in later Godzilla films. Helps really set a grimmer, more realistic tone.

#monsterdon

SEND MORE BOATS - gojira

#monsterdon #gojira

#Monsterdon #Gojira
🚨 MONSTROUS CAMEOS🚨

🦖 Look for the man inside electric room. It's Haruo Nakajima (The man in the Gojira suit!). He's also a reporter in the newspaper office.

🦖 Who throws the big switch for 300,00 VOLTS?
Director Ishirô Honda, of course.

No! We are watching this film on purpose! #monsterdon

How old is this movie? It's kc/s old. Today, we'd call that 500 kHz.

#Monsterdon

My morse code isn't great - that sounded like 'SOS - SOS - SOS'? #monsterdon

"it's fine, it's fine" she says...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon @k8eb is furiously scribbling at her bingo card.

This godzilla's got rizz #monsterdon

Something killed that big gay boat!
#monsterdon

The signal hits the antenna, see? Then travels down the wire, see? #Monsterdon

...Oh man are we about to get another Fukuryu Maru-- YEP THERE WE GO #Monsterdon

Hooray it's the OG this week!

#Monsterdon

Godzilla's theme is so powerful, never fails to awe and inspire

#Monsterdon

IT'S KAIJU SEASON! #Monsterdon

Gojira (1954)

https://tube.me.jon-e.net/w/ii9iW3v3ESRD6JF7xceBHv

Possibly the most menacing the Godzilla theme has ever been, that's awesome :D #Monsterdon
