Ok, I just wanna see who all here likes Godzilla. And I'm not talking about the Godzilla starring Matthew Broderick in New York. I'm talking about the GOOD 'ol Godzilla movies from Japan that have ToHo in the beginning. Those movies rock! I grew up watching Godzilla. We have like over 40 hours of Godzilla movies. I don't know exactly how many movies that is, but it's a lot baby! My two favorites are "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla" and of course the classic first one from 1954 starring the Perry Mason guy, "GODZILLA: King of All Monsters". So, who else likes Godzilla or at least knows who he is? Or am I the only weirdo who will voluntarily watch a Godzilla movie?

Wo-wo!

There goes Tokyo!

Go go, Godzilla!!!!!!

I think I watched 'em all when I was little.  I couldn't figure out why those people's mouths would keep moving after they were finished talking!

 

[Weeping Willow]

Wow, somebody else knows who Godzilla is?  I was beginning to think nobody had ever heard of him. lol

Oh yeah. Watching ol' Godzilla stomp cars and knock over buildings (don't forget about the occasional power line snapping and sparkling) was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

ia mold sp i know who godzialla is alright.

 

[Weeping Willow]

Woo Hoo! I'm not alone in the world! lol  You gotta love the power line smashing. And when he's by those fake huge cool looking Japanese houses on a hill and just takes his fist right through them, or the monster he's fighting pushes him back into one... I think I'm gonna go watch one now lol.

My husband loves that stuff. When he was stationed in Okinawa, he would go to a theater that showed noting but Godzilla movies. He got our son interested in them as well.

I still don't get it.

The New Godzilla is Bigger, Meaner, Faster, Stronger, Cooler, Better and the BEST!!!!

I said this in another thread, but it applies here, too:
I'm a purist. The original is always the best!

Bah! The new one looked REAL!!! Not some guy in a suit!!! (This is just my opinion don't take it personal)

That's the magic of it.  It looked real enough when I was a kid.

 

[Ryder]

the new one didn't look any more real to me, it was just fake in a different way, instead of a guy in a suit you get a flat-feeling digital fake painted on to the scenery, same diff, 6 of one, half dozen of another (I always write two dozen and have to correct myself)

 

[Weeping Willow]

I agree with WaterWizard. You can't go wrong with a guy in a  rubber suit (who's name is Ken by the way. So my dad and I call Godzilla, Ken. Same with the Swamp Thing's name being Larry, and Jaws being Bruce). But the beauty of Godzilla is that it is obvious and cheezy. Although, "Godzilla 2000", which we so affectionately call "Godzilla vs. The Space Nose", that was a pretty good. Funny, still some good cheese, but good. It's good quality time to spend with a relative pulling some MST3K type thing. But yeah, the first is always better. Like Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho". That's a pretty cool movie too...

Has anyone ever noticed that in every Godzilla movie, someone in the voice over's calls him, "Godziller"? Just a piece of useless information.

Sweet mother of meat. I'm amused to see so many people taking an interest in the classics lol.

Old Godzilla

 

[fully]

Well I have only seen like a couple of the old Godzilla movies. And that was so long ago. I would have to go back and watch some to form a better opinion of what I think.
