Whereas I see CGI and think: that is one weightless, shimmery balloon throwing an oddly pronounced shadow...

But it's really a matter of personal taste. I prefer my unrealistic effects to be physical objects, it feels more satisfying to me (most of the time, I thought Megaguirus really needed to be CGI). The optimal situation is when you have a careful blend of the two, with sophisticated animatronics wherever possible, and CG to complete the sequences that couldn't be done any other way. This is why Jurassic Park still looks infinitely better than, say, the big cat in 10,000 BC.

Maybe I am alone on this, but I never thought King Kong belonged in the Godzilla Universe.
FYI - I'm not a fan of Americanizing Godzilla either. But, that's another subject.

No, you have to be in pretty good shape to be wearing that suit

The Suit-CGI combos in Hellboy are fantastic, I'd like some of that in Godzilla.

I dunno, I think one of those suits might be a very effective weight-loss tool. Think about all the pounds you can sweat off!

I was just saying how most people think of Godzilla. I know suit actors are in good shape and everything.

I think Dean Devlin said something about Godzilla being a fat guy in a rubber suit.

Stop giving me reasons to hate the man. I already have my hands full with the movie.

Well, he's Dean Devlin. Not the general public.

Ha! :)

Nakajima was pretty fit before even being able to fit into that suit. He was in the suit under hot lights, in a 200lb suit, and had a car battery between his legs (so they could move the mouth etc). Can't be out of shape to pull that off

It was hard work being in those suits. You had to be strong to move around in them.

Wait, what? Who told you that? The original suit - the only one that was that heavy - had a manually controlled head. A car battery?

What's the big deal with KING KONG VS. GODZILLA getting remade? I think it's fine the way it is...

There are certain films from the Showa era that I think would benefit from being redone as animated films. King Kong vs. Godzilla is one of them.
