At least it’s not all embedded tweets.

the camera issue is actually a lot more interesting than this article lets on:

Yep. Godzilla isn't a super hero, it's Jaws. The more you put Jaws into the movie, the more it loses its power to affect the audience. And with no human story as a through line, none of it matters anyway.

Man, after watching Godzilla Minus One, seeing the “troupe of human actors none of whom you will care at all about” style of the Legendary iteration feels like such a let down.

American Godzilla is always going to be dicey, because after Godzilla stopped being a direct allegory for nuclear war, he pretty much became an allegory for America: a big, dangerous, unknowable behemoth that seems to be well intentioned, but spends so much time wrecking everything that it’s hard to tell. Where do you…

You won’t be disappointed with Minus One!

What do you think of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters? Personally, I like it. It’s not brilliant, but it’s not the CG spectacle that the movies are (and admittedly, I kind of enjoy).

Godzilla 2014 knew that a monster movie is better if you build anticipation, hiding the monster from the audience to build tension for a single big scene at the end of the movie. That leaves time to build a story around a cast of human characters who can give some emotional depth to what is otherwise just an effects…

I enjoyed Godzilla vs Kong it was dumb fun but having seen Godzilla Minus One and now this trailer a few times now, this looks rather stupid. I guess the plan for the Monsterverse was to mirror the Transformers franchise. Which sucks I really liked Skull Island and the first Godzilla was pretty good.  

I’m glad to see Chaos from Primal Rage finally got a new gig!

The thing that bugged me about that movie was, KOTM set up some interesting stuff in how the kaiju were affecting the planet. But that all got tossed aside for the sake of pushing Yankee Hero Kong down everybody’s throat.

I really didn’t appreciate that. I liked Skull Island a lot. The two solo Godzillas were fine. Godzilla vs Kong was so fucking dumb though — the action was good, but not so good to make up for how painful it was to sit through everything else. On a scale of Pacific Rim: Uprising to Pacific Rim, it was definitely on…

I was just thinking about how the Hollywood Godzilla movies have nosedived into Transformers territory at speed (which, to be fair, is more or less the same trajectory the original movies took too) and then a giant robot hand erupted from the Pyramids of Giza.

All of this. Also, discs are susceptible to disc rot. I get that a disc getting corrupted after ten years or lost in a move feels fundamentally different from an online store delisting it because a licensing agreement expired, but there’s a weird corner of the internet that talks about physical media like they’re a…

Especially as every time we buy some digital shit, the seller claims we’re buying, and not that we’re licensing said shit.

lol’d at mud not sliding

I rip everything I buy as soon as I unwrap it. I know it’s not a perfect copy (I could make perfect copies but I only have 44.2 TB of storage and a lot of discs) but it’s better than nothing.

I didn’t see “freak gasoline fight” on that list, and I think it’s a common catastrophe that needs to receive more awareness.

Torrenting can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning.

Geez, Brian, this is almost as crazy as that one time Quagmire found out love can bloom on a battlefield.
