Guillermo del Toro has a movie coming out next summer, Pacific Rim, about humans piloting giant robots to fight off gigantic alien creatures. So there you go. 
That sounds anime-ish. I’ve gotta see it!
I would love to see a giant monster movie with photo realistic effects. Similar to the early scenes of destruction in Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (an underrated movie BTW). Cloverfield is close but from what I hear about this, it will be even closer.
Reported for heresy.
That’s an easy trick. Get Godzilla into a heavily populated area (Tokyo) they haven’t had a chance to evacuate, and the really big weapons are unusable.
I always wanted to see a cut scene in The Venture Bros where Rusty calls his brother for some help, but Jonas Jr is a little busy at the moment and can’t talk.
Because Ventronicis busy fighting Godzilla.
Of course, given how closely those bastards guard the copyright to Godzilla, it would never happen.
And what next after that, HMMM? :dubious:
Battlefield Earth, perhaps?!? :mad:

Tough crowd 
Not to hijack but I really like War of the Worlds. It works even better if you assume Tom Cruise’s character never escapes from the tripod and the entire movie after that is just a fantasy.
It might stop them from using nukes, but I doubt the military would even hesitate over anything less. Of course, they can write their hesitation into the script.
It would be a thousand times better if his screaming daughter was the first vaporized victim.
A good Godzilla movie also has overdubbed voices
…that don’t match the lip movements.
Which would be absolutely hilarious if both voices are speaking English, but the overdub voice is completely different, deeper, and isn’t saying the same thing.
Some make the distinction between sci-fi and science fiction. The latter being more serious and grounded in reality than the former. I took the quote to mean that.
Every male voice should be Gilbert Gottfried or Bobcat Goldthwaite. Every female voice should be Victoria Jackson or Fran Drescher.
This would make the audience feel good about Godzilla destroying them all.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that I believe that this movie will be all kinds of awesome. The director, Gareth Edwards, made an extremely low-budget movie with monsters in it (it’s called, strangely enough, Monsters) a couple of years ago that I unfortunately missed. I wanted to see though, based on the vague gist that it was more of an art-house relationship drama than a creature feature. It just happened to be set in a (modern day) world where monsters live. One person described it as Before Sunrise meets Godzilla, if that means anything to anyone. I laughed. Monsters seems to be one of those Love It or Hate It films. Its walkie/talkieness, sweeping vistas, stretches of silence, and the general lack of monster situations makes for TONS of 1-star “Boring! Worst movie I ever saw!” whining on IMDB. The same attributes cause many others to give it 8-10 stars.
Any director who makes such a polarizing movie his first time out, for a pittance, is a director I want to watch.
Btw, the reason I missed Monsters is because it only played in one theater here, a very expensive art house theater that I usually avoid. I had made up my mind that I was going to suck it up and pay full price to see it, bit closed! It only played a week. Damn.
What’s the Godzilla honk?
Is that when he does the first part of his roar and it’s really short? And he usually does that over and over?
How do you keep it grounded without using sci-fi?
I saw Monsters “prerelease” on the HDNET Movies channel. The atmosphere and premise are interesting, but it really is pretty boring. And I’m not someone who needs every movie to be SMASH-BANG-BOOM! I like dramas as much as I enjoy action movies. The guy/girl subplot just doesn’t work that well. The movie is a good effort from a production standpoint–especially considering its budget–but the story is disappointingly mundane.
Yep. I love that part.
