From the talent behind it and knowing this will be a sequel instead of a reboot, so far this is the 2018 release I’m most hyped about.

They already did scanned Gojira. It looks worse than the Criterion Blu-ray because whoever Toho has working for them isn’t that adept at it. The report was only about Gojira being scanned and they never confirmed if they were doing any others. It’s unlikely, since they just finished their (pretty bad) HD remasters a…

I’d like to see someone other than Toho do 4K Godzilla restorations. Their HD remasters of any of the Godzilla films released before the 2000's are pretty poor and the 4K restoration they did of Gojira isn’t near as good as Criterion’s restoration.

Don’t worry, if the Criterion Blu-ray of Gojira is anything to go by, it still beats out Toho’s 4K restorations.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up too much. Toho did a 4K restoration of Gojira and while the individual frames they previewed looked nice, it still was miles behind the Criterion restoration. (Toho themselves seem to have a lot of problems with their restorations and HD releases of anything prior to the 2000's.)

Thank you for this. I need that gif after all that superiority talking like just because Cloverfield managed to be an American found footage monster movie, it suddenly negates and is better than the numerous Japanese films that already had the hook of “focuses on everyday people in a monster attack” decades earlier…

Gojira did it in 1954. There are several scenes of people experiencing the horror on the ground as Godzilla decimates the city. Some of them are quite horrific, even by today’s standards.

Except for the scene in Cloverfield where they come across military guys who know what’s going on, they just don’t tell them.

Even worse? You know how the “tape” keeps cutting back to previous recordings? The screen at the beginning said that the footage was found on an SD card. So there’s absolutely no way of that working that way.

I can think of a dozen characters from Godzilla movies that I cared more about and liked more than the entire cast of Cloverfield put together. I liked Lizzy Caplan alright, but that’s mostly because I just like Lizzy Caplan.

A sequel with a feature film debut director on a studio project has me very hesitant to get too excited. That’s a recipe for possibly being very disappointing.

Actually, I had no idea what Moontrap was. I just was going through the tapes that my dad had recorded off of HBO and saw “Moontrap”. I thought it sounded like a cool sci-fi movie. I was young enough that I didn’t even know who Bruce Campbell was.

This was the only game I was looking forward to this year. Unfortunately, after watching ARavingLoon’s stream, I’ll be waiting until I hear the performance issues have been fixed. The gameplay looks amazing, but I can’t take the framerate looking worse than Enemy Within on an old laptop.

You don’t know how bad I keep hoping they’ll announce a Moon Knight series and Taskmaster would be the perfect villain because he doesn’t need a whole lot of build up (just good writing), allowing the writers to devote most of their time to figure out a believable Moon Knight on screen.

The Relic is a fun dumb movie but it makes me sad because I really love the books and I’d love a series of Pendergast films. :(

I will never forgive Moontrap for exposing me to naked middle-aged Walter Koening when I was in single digits.

That was Leviathan. It also had Daniel Stern and Richard Crenna.

I actually heard the Rifftrax got annoying at some points where they kind of repeatedly hammer on the obvious camp. It makes sense to me because I couldn’t stand there Starship Troopers riff because the whole time they kept going “haha, this is so dumb.” at a movie that was already laughing at itself the whole time.…
