Relevant, perhaps, but also explored and discussed at great lengths in the years since DD's release.

The opening scene and credits are A+++. I liked the rest of the movie fine, but it would have been hard to keep up the intensity and terror of those first ten or so minutes.

Brennan's pours the sherry over the soup at the table as it's served. "Massive amounts" is quite right.

That's a fair depiction. It's actually the most ethnically diverse major city in the country so the food options are off the charts, but those are the big boys.

Well yeah, that was the wild west. Half the time I made something up to fit the tone of my comment.

Someone has to fight Gamera.

I was about 10 years behind you and I assure you the same nature docs were still going strong in science classes. Watching a turtle poop out a pile of gooey eggs will remain with me forever.

Yeah, but Brennan's turtle soup is one of life's great pleasures.

So are snails. Basically delivery systems for garlic butter, which - c'mon.

A pond near my house is filled with red eared sliders that outgrew their tanks. The kids love it because they're totally chill and used to being picked or eating from your hand.

I haven't done that with eels, but that's what you do with catfish. They have rubbery skin instead of scales, so you nail them to a tree, slice the skin around their necks and down their backs, then grab an edge with a pair of pliers and yank hard.

I was at the beach as a kid, walking along at night, and almost plowed into what I thought was the remains of a big sand castle. Nope, MASSIVE sea turtle. It was pretty amazing to comfortably get that close to something that big.

The turtle conservation people at the beach where we go on vacation have gone totally around the bend. We set up one of those pop-up tent covers, and left the frame out overnight. Next day it was tossed in the dunes with a note that if we didn't break it down and remove it from the beach every night, it would be…

Thus the need for Godzilla.

Can't they basically swim all the way across the ocean without surfacing? That's a pretty cool power.

It's like a lot of things, outstanding and fresh when you first discover it, only to recognize diminishing returns later upon realizing it follows a pretty predictable pattern.

I'll allow it.

I only got through the first 1,000 comments before giving up, so it very well may have been in there somewhere but I can only read people arguing in circles for so long.

Fuckers will spit at you. Eat 'em.
