Minus one was fantastic. It knocked my socks off afterwards when I learned it had a $15million budget. That's insane. The monster design was tremendous. The visuals of the damage and healing were perfectly done to explain the extent of G's vulnerability, and the level of healing, and it was very well expanded on when showing how the compression cycling was going. The development from Godzilla 2000 dino-walking, to huge Showa era monster, and then blue glowing Shin terror, was also perfect. The way the destruction from the breath weapon worked, as well, impeccable. I don't know if Godzilla has ever looked scarier than the shots of him pursuing the minesweeper in Minus One. Such an unbeatable visual. The human drama was also spot on. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed it. Got to watch the Shin bluray on the big screen the night before, local theatre I volunteer at had a private showing of it. Missed it on the big screen during the original run, and it was great to see the difference between monster design, as well as the divergence between the politcal drama of Shin and the human drama of Minus One. What a great weekend.

Definitely took my breath away. The out-and-back of the blast was very striking and absolutely got me.

I thought about not seeing a body meaning she might still be alive, but at the same time I was so struck with how intensely the atomic blast hit and leveled everything, that I believed not showing a body was another callback to the atomic bombs and the total vaporization of so many of the victims.

Rented the Criterion Showa Era set, I've only seen OG and vs Hedora. I'll probably skip Hedora for this watch, but I'm excited to rewatch OG after seeing Shin and Minus One this past week. Then I'll blast through as many of the 13 others as I can before I get sick of it, probably partway through the weekend.

Yeah, that to me is one of the big themes of the movie. Constantly bringing in new experts and political aides who say that something is impossible, and that they should worry about something else instead - and then the impossible thing happens and it's already too late again

If Godzilla showed up for real I can promise - as a huge man - I'd poo poo my pants so hard that movie audiences would all hear it. Even over my ear-splitting scream.

Annath posted:I honestly thought that the lever he told Koichi to pull to arm the bomb was going to actually be the ejection trigger. Koichi would go to "arm the bomb" and end up being ejected while the plan blew up on its own. Not sure what that would have done to him, living when he didn't make the choice to do so on his own. This is exactly what I thought.

JacquelineDempsey posted:I thought so too, I even said verbatim "quit loving with me" (he's a cool boss). No he legit thought that Godzilla was somehow "a story from Japan", like Americans took some old Japanese myth and made monster movies out it or something. The conversation got cut short bc I had to ring up a customer. Trust me, I will be revisiting this discussion next time we're just chatting on downtime. alright yeah he sounds cool, do it right and get him hooked.

Whales and other traditional sea monsters do fit a kaiju niche, I see what you're saying. Honestly that point pairs really well with Godzilla's attacks starting due to nuclear testing and habitat destruction. Just when we thought we'd mapped everything and cleared away the "here there be monsters", all we had really done was give them nowhere to go besides Tokyo.

Rented and been binging some Heisei era Godzilla stuff this week. They only had the VHS of G v King Ghidorah available and I wasn't about to let it stop me. Turns out that I'm pretty sure it's a bootleg. God, it's so great to get these visceral 1998 experiences. Being an adult actually rules, sometimes!
