Sample car-ride with GIR: DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DI DOOM DI - I WANNA TACO! PULL OVER! DOOM DI DOOM DOOM DOOM...x's infinity.

No way! I would love to travel/live with GIR!

Him..

The Library Ghost at the beginning of Ghostbusters always freaked me out as a kid.

The original Godzilla came out 9 years after the two atomic bomb drops on Japan. The film had a long tracking shot of a desolated Tokyo that was purposely made to look exactly like Nagasaki and Hiroshima after the bombs. The shots of dead bodies in the hospital also were intense for the Japanese audiences. Guess that…

With respect to anyone who has, I can only relate at a tiny level: if I watch a romantic movie, I appreciate it when said movie represents romantic moments that relate directly to my experience of similar moments in my life. Case in point, Before Midnight, After Sunset, etc, those are fantastic romantic movies. They…

Fiction should be allowed to pull from real life events. There is still a distinction between exploitation and drawing from historical reference. I have yet to see the movie, so I'll have to see for myself whether it was exploitative, but off the bat I'd say it isn't right to disbar the use of any imagery that pulls…

Apparently You've never heard of G-Fest.

I found Godzilla super fun, and while I would not have said no to a little more Godzilla, the delayed gratification created a build-up that paid off gloriously in the final battle.

I think it was advertising. I knew to look for Pacific Rim because I had been following it since they announced it, but (to the best of my knowledge, I don't have cable or listen to the radio), the advertising for it was either close to nil or not very good. Even on the 'net there wasn't a huge blitz.

Why Pacific Rim failed while Godzilla succeeded? Easy - marketing. Pacific Rim's marketing was, by and large, pretty shit. Compare that to that creepy 2001 score under the HALO jump from the teaser? Fucking brilliant. Uniformly Godzilla's marketing was unified and had a strong idea of what it was trying to sell.…

It helps that not only was it a marketable name but it was made by a director who "gets" Godzilla and then preceded to make the High Budget bad ass Godzilla movie everyone has always wanted to see...

Ehhh I'd say mass audiences enjoy reboots.
Hardcore fans on the other hand are a finicky bitchy bunch.

Want to see Jager vs Godzilla.

I'm guessing you're not very familiar with the whole Batman mythos then. Batman very, very rarely kills. Basically if there's any way he can avoid killing, he does so. It's part of who he is.

I'd rather be looking at screens for the Sequel.

Looking Good, Lara: The latest batch of HD PC shots up at Dead End Thrills focus on Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider reboot, and are looking mighty fine.

Am I the only person who didn't abjectly hate 4E? You just have to realize that it wasn't really a role-playing game, it's more of a tactical strategy game, akin to final fantasy tactics. In fact, I'm massively surprised and annoyed that no one bothered to convert it to a FF tactics style video game...

Catwoman and the Black Cat

I don't much care for DBZ, but the last verse from Goku clinched it for him. That was punishing. :)
