Well, that made me go back and check my first ever post. Apparently, it was:
This is a question where I feel compelled to differentiate between "favorite" and "best."

Without a doubt, my favorite of Kaneko's kaiju flicks is Gamera 3. The tone is a wonderful balance of wonderment and terror, I find the characters really engaging (though I'll certainly agree that some are under-developed/under-utilized), I love the visual style of both the human and the monster scenes (and one area where all three Gamera flicks best the vast majority of Godzilla movies is in a sense of stylistic consistency between human drama and sfx sequences), I can just drift off and get lost in that score...

But I'd still call Gamera: GOTU Kankeo's best kaiju movie, because of the tightness and the accessibility of the storytelling, the clarity of the themes, and the excitement generated by the sfx sequences.

GMK would be a serious contender if it didn't fall off so badly in the third act. I absolutely love 2/3 of that movie, and then, as the climax approaches, I find it increasingly difficult to stay emotionally involved.

Of course, there's a lot to recommend G2, and I seem to recall that being the fan favorite of Kaneko's flicks back around '99/2000. It's just a little dry for me.
Not very funny. Sorry.
No, but it is just so classically eabaker. ;)

My first post:
I was about twelve years old when I first saw GvsD, and I'd known about the ending for years beforehand, so I was able to restrain myself. Barely.

Godzilla 1985, on the other hand...I was only about seven when I watched it, and had no idea what to expect. I thought the volcano killed him, and sobbed hysterically for a while afterwards. "MOMMY! GODZILLA'S DEAD! WAAAAAAAAAAH!" Or something to that effect. :huge:
Mildly amusing, I guess...

You monster. First you don't like, no, hate the Raimi trilogy, then you hold me at gunpoint trying to find out my state, then you probably did something else I don't remember. What more suffering could you possibly want? Do you want us all to just bow down and lick your shoes? :freak:

:P

Was on the phone with a customer today. Pretty normal. Seems like a sweet old lady. 65 years old. Tells me about how she's going through a divorce. Sad, but not unusual.

After we end the conversation I mute myself and let her hang up, as I do with any customer that calls in. Before she hangs up, though, she says, and I quote, "damn he sounds sexy."

I'm glad I muted myself because I laughed so hard my boss stared at me like I had gone nuts. I was all at once flattered, horrified and highly amused.

Does anyone else remember when Kid Rock rapped over Metallica?



This made me laugh...

And then I felt depressed.

All houses have the same. Roof. Floor. Walls. People yelling at you that they're calling the police because you broke into their house. It's only when you give them love that they truly become Home
