For some reason our local theaters weren't playing Mothra, but ARE playing the encores. Apparently they had too many "previews" coming out on Thursday. Oh well, I'll catch the replay.

I was really tired and fell asleep right after Mothra hatched from the cocoon and woke up right at the end when she picks up the girls. So upset. Was fun until then though.

It's been forever since I've watched Mothra and it was kind of weird noticing how many non-Japanese actors were in it.

Mothra is an interesting movie. It's one of the first that was made well after Godzilla's world wide popularity got established, so it gave Toho more of a footing with American studios that would ultimately lead to the American co-productions they'd do for a short time.

As far as the Mothra movies go, I'm a bigger fan of Godzilla vs. Mothra because, yknow, Mothra actually shows up in that one and does more than fly around sort of non-threateningly. Also the plot is a hell of a lot easier to follow: two giant monster kick the poo poo out of each other. I got lost trying to follow this one, even though the main beats are simple. I understand that it's basically King Kong, but they try to cram so much into it and the dubbing is pretty hard to understand in a few spots so it's all one big mess. My daughter absolutely loves that drat moth now, though.

Godzilla VS Mothra 1964 is one of the best giant monster movies ever made just for how good it is. They take a fight that really shouldn't last any time and make it fantastic.

Yeah, all the stuff about Nelson and his backstory was just confusing. He was a private citizen/poacher and for some reason he was put in charge of the government expedition?

Mothra was fun, but was it really necessary for the English dubbing to have ridiculous caricatures of Japanese accents?

demota posted:Mothra was fun, but was it really necessary for the English dubbing to have ridiculous caricatures of Japanese accents? Well uh So I don't know for certain but that might have just been the voice actors. They made it a point in the older Godzilla films to specifically cast Asian American voice actors. Like, Godzilla King of the Monsters, all of the extras, voice actors and body doubles they got for the American scenes were Asian.

George Takei did some voices for Godzilla Raids Again and Rodan, other companies cared less about casting for their dubbings, and some of the films have multiple dubs (and fans will spend hours arguing about them online!)

Jose Oquendo posted:Well Ruby sure is.....something. Looking it up after the fact, I kinda wanna see a directors cut of the movie. It was not that bad. It's totally strange, but it had some decent acting (and overacting), an interesting premise, and the gore effects, while not great, worked for what they had. The ending is total dog poo poo: Abrupt and comes out of no where from what was happening. Just leaving those three seconds off would have been much better for the film. As for the riff, it's okay. Not the best but serviceable. It helps that the movie itself is very watchable. There were parts where I was tuning it out trying to pay more attention to the movie.

Went to the Mothra re-air and it was lots of fun. Soapy wasn't nearly as horrifying as the talking cars from the reunion show but the short was full of solid jokes. I'd never seen Mothra and found it to be one of those satisfying MST3Ks where you can enjoy both the movie and the riffs. Looking forward to the Halloween show.

Mothra was kind of a dud, wasn't it? Good fit on paper, but the movie itself is just too competent and inoffensive for what it is and didn't seem to give the boys a great deal to work with. Really reminded me of those solidly C-grade episodes of MST, right down to the repeated fallbacks on a not-that-funny running joke for lack of anything better to hook onto. Had its moments, sure, but for our room things definitely peaked with the short. Another slight annoyance: my current theater obviously doesn't give a poo poo about these events. There's no reason anyone paying 14 bucks a pop should have to leave their seat to tell mgt. to turn the loving house lights down 15 minutes into the feature but that's been the case both times I've been there, and it's pretty obvious no one is monitoring the sound and picture quality past pushing the "play" button. I'll give 'em one more chance but after that I may be SOL as far as seeing more of these things. Bimmi fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Aug 24, 2016 |

To put it in terms of Stephen King's Danse Macabre, I can't stop thinking about the zipper on the costume. The only scene where I really felt a suspension of disbelief, at least where Mothra the character is concerned, was when she climbed Tokyo Tower and spun a cocoon, because it was the only really moth-like thing she did. Though there was a little pang of foreboding when the egg hatched, mostly because it was a really well-paced sequence with good cinematography. Overall, though, I just can't get too scared of a benign creature. There's no malice in Mothra. Even as she's booking it across the ocean, you know she's just trying to save those two tiny ladies and that it's Nelson's fault and all the destruction is ancillary. The villain is Nelson, not Mothra. I feel like that message was pretty clear, so even the "gross" parts of the insect life cycle are secondary to what a massive dickhole Nelson is.
