No, no, not present tense read ("reed"), past tense read ("red"). At Tower Records. VHS boxes. This was the early-to-mid-90s.KaijuCanuck wrote:I think what he really does is go on Rotten Tomatoes, and the score just becomes his exact position on the film.Maritonic wrote:The back of the boxes or do you just read the IMDB reviews?

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Movie by Era
Totally serious. All of my opinions on these movies are based on my vague memories of descriptions I read a quarter century ago. That is why I never have anything to say about any movies post-Biollante.KaijuCanuck wrote:Wait what?

Re: Favorite Godzilla Movie by Era
I belive, when properly decoded through the lens of Freudian film theory, that Spacegodzilla is actually a metaphor for the deep-seated fear of one’s own inner evil, and it’s raw, elemental desire to lash out at your loved ones and immediate family.Dv-218 wrote:Nah GvMGII is for amateurs, it is the hidden philosophical brilliance of GvSG that only the most proffesional of movie experts can decode
It’s also about how flying crystals are both rad and totally dope.

Though it could also be argued that SG is a representation of Godzilla's own gluttony, being obese and having corn-candy like crystals on his shoulders- there is a reason Godzilla gets proggressively thiccer with each Heisei movie, it's all a meta commentary

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 1974, Godzilla vs. Biollante, Godzilla 2000, and if we're just lumping all the 2010s films together, Godzilla 2014.

Honestly surprised Shin is beating out G14 as soundly as it is.

That's an unfair and inacurate exageration, sir!
You need to remove the word 'borderline' and replace it with 'straight-up'.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Movie by Era
Actually a majority love both G14 and Shin, they just like Shin better is all. Only a small percentage of us actually hate G14.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Movie by Era
I love both movies equally- in some places I like Shin better, while in others G14 has a slight edge for me depending on specific things.
Personally I think Shin as a movie has a more thought provoking story and better drama (though the political aspect gets a little heavy at times), but Lgenedary Godzilla himself is probably my favorite incarnation of the character to come out in the 2010's.
