Hey uh, is there a Kaiju Discord channel? I can't really imagine one was really justified up to now but figured I'd ask. Just kinda collecting up servers for my specific interests just now. For reasons.

Ask Fran to make a kaiju channel in the CineD discord. That's a solid idea.

Turns out I need the Cine D discord channel. I assume it's in a stickied post? This is pretty much the only thread in this subforum I read actually. I have very specific film interests what can I say.

Sent you an invite. Apparently we're keeping links hidden since there's Kiwifarms people joining the visible links. (From what I heard.)

With the cost of Godzilla vs Ghidorah/Godzilla vs Mothra steadily rising on Amazon, should I just say screw it and jump ahead to Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2/Godzilla vs Space Godzilla, or will I regret not seeing the others beforehand?

VS Mothra has a few minor things that pop up in Space Godzilla but you might be able to find it here too

You should at least see the Ghidorah movie. Mecha King Ghidorah, and the weird rear end time travel plot are some highlights of the era. I love the Heisei era movies, and it really burns my biscuits I haven’t seen Biollante yet.

I know it’s kind of impossible at the moment, but I highly suggest watching the Heisei films with a group because they’re all insane in unique ways and make for very entertaining movie nights. I know that series is flawed and has its detractors, but I love it to pieces.

Biollinate feels like it comes out ahead of the rest of them as far as being completely bonkers. Ghidorah is a close second. The Heisei monster designs and suits are so good, even if they were too bulky to actually move in.

They are absolutely bonkers in all the right ways.

Yeah as much as I complain about them, they are fun in their own ways. I don't know if I can say if I either like them or not, but they certainly are spectacle. Some of the designs of Godzilla himself are goddamned amazing, making him more of a super animal at times which I really like. Millennium Godzilla is one of my favorite suits ever; it's loving WILD.

I got the Criterion Collection at the beginning of quarantine and have been enjoying the films immensely. They’re just good fun - but I was wondering what the consensus was on Destroy All Monsters. Usually there’s a decent balance of plot to monster but this one was just bloated bad plot, 5 minutes of monster goodness, and then blah. Am I alone in liking it the least of the Showa films?

It holds a bit of a soft spot in my heart as the finale for the Tsuburaya era of Godzilla but otherwise it's a very slow paced, dreary thing. It felt like it could have done more, but it is what it is. Fittingly, it feeling tired is very much A Thing, as it was also the last Godzilla production until 1971. A mild break, but a break all the same. I say that because while they did make another movie in 1969, Godzilla's Revenge, it was NOT a Godzilla production. It was filmed and made very differently which is self evident.

That's about the size of it. I'd hesitate to say it's my least favorite of the Showa films, but that's only because I haven't done a full rewatch in a while. It might very well turn out to be the case if and when I do.

It might very well turn out to be the case if and when I do. What I think broke my heart about DMA was I heard about it for, well, decades before I actually got to see it. Godzilla vs. Gigan might be goofy as all heck but at least I got to see it when I was a kid. The books on Godzilla I had as a kid (the small orange hardback books for one, if anybody remembers those, I'd get them out of my elementary school's library and they were all on movie monsters) all talked up Destroy All Monsters as having ALL THE MONSTERS and sounded like this amazing battle royal on top of Mt. Fuji. It was not.

I'd argue that the human plot in something like Gigan or even Megalon is perfectly acceptable as an upscaled version of a "Ultra" show TV plot (which is really all those movies were trying to be) and is on balance at least much more *interesting* than Destroy All Monsters' microwaved rehash of Monster Zero. Really, the one sticking point stopping me from saying that DAM is my least-favorite Showa film is that it's been years since I saw Godzilla's Revenge and have not yet had the chance to test out the partial rehabilitation the fandom has given it recently.

I legit cannot judge Destroy All Monsters objectively. That is a movie that I have known since I was capable of making memories and it has always existed. Child me would fast forward to anything that had monsters or the Moonlight SY3 and the rest of the movie was condemned to the pit as far as I was concerned. Which, amusingly, I didn't do with other films like Gigan or Sea Monster. Maybe child me knew more than I thought

Yeah, that's my candidate for the best human storyline. Plus Big G just playing with fighters staring him with rockets is priceless, he knows what kind of movie he's in and he's having fun. Any movie where you can say "I know ! Let's wake up Godzilla !" because it's a perfectly reasonable course of action that can't make your situation any worse is a thumbs up in my book.

Son of Godzilla I always kind of liked (apart from when it becomes Minya's show) because as a kid I found the Kamacuras creepy when they would chase the humans and Kumonga is a giant spider which ew. Also Godzilla straight up murks monsters in that one which kind of blew my mind when I was little.
