I’ve been visiting your site semi-regularly since '98! **El Elvis Rojo** , after that line was said, the theater i saw G2K in (opening night, 8 people, one girl) groaned audibly (all 8 of us) and the girl said “Oh, My God”. Good Times! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tars Tarkas \* > **Wait, YOU’RE the guy who runs that site??? I’ve been visiting your site semi-regularly since '98!** Ayup, that’d be me. Hence the username. I haven’t spent much time on the site lately (getting married will do that), but I do at least stick up a new review whenever a new movie comes out. In fact, I just added a review for the latest flick, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (III) that came out in December 2000. As for whether any of the new movies will ever be released in the U.S., I really don’t know. Godzilla 2000 didn’t do well enough for them to bother theatrically releasing the later movies, but I hope they will at least make them available on DVD… Barry ---

[The Rotten Library](http://www.rotten.com/library/culture/godzilla/) really sheds light on the Japanese mentality behind the mad cap Kaiju battles. ---

You don’t have to limit yourselves to the canonical Godzilla. There are so many other monsters available to choose from, from other producers. If you’d like to give Tokyo a break, you can watch Reptilicus take out Copenhagen, or The Giant Behemoth in London, or Yonggary (“Reptilian”) trash Seoul, or various other nonlizard monsters as well. ---

Those have been ripped and are making the internet rounds. But I wouldn’t know anything about that! 😉 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by rjung \* > \*\*No offense, **Tars,** but what did you think his handle meant? 😉 \*\* I thought it meant **Godzilla** was taken and he just added a random noun after… I guess that’s why i’m not a crime detective! ---

I’m dying to see 'em. \*\* The [SciFi Channel](http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3?date=31-AUG-2003&feed_req) will be showing both **Godzilla vs. Megaguiras** and **Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah** on August 31 (along with some other Big G. movies, as part of an all day monster-movie marathon). I seem to recall it is scheduled for DVD release soon thereafter. ---
