Not really surprising given the opening weekend, but sorta surprising since Edwards had come and say they did not write it with sequels in mind.

How is it this movie came out two days ago and I already feel so behind having not seen it yet?
How does Godzilla keep itself from starving? Between it and the two monsters, I think they only consumed metal.
Legit curiosity, as I haven't seen too many movies from this genre.
Meanwhile, I hope they don't do a MechaGodzilla as a way to fight Godzilla when it turns against everyone.
Great question.Quote:

I didn't realize it needed explaining. Godzilla tracks them, hunts them, kills them, then fucks off back to the ocean. So they're his prey. Is the use of the word incorrect?Quote:

Yes.Quote:

Wow what? It obviously it means something different otherwise you wouldn't have posted:
Which is the definition of prey in the US.Quote:

When a mercenary sniper calls an enemy combatant his prey, I do not assume he's gonna climb down the building to eat the dude he just shot.
I have many times. However, that's not prey .Quote:

That's "wow".
Yes, it is. While prey often means food, it doesn't always have to. Here's Merriam's definition. While the first mentions food, the second just mentions something that is easily harmed by something else.
There's more than one definition for a word, Duke. You are well aware of this. Why be purposefully difficult when our point is obvious?
In case Merriam isn't good enough, here's another site:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/prey
The second definition here:
Quote:
2. One that is defenseless, especially in the face of attack; a victim.
Never heard that before but I would only assume he's using tongue and cheek. Much like when a solider eats a dead donkey I don't think they are actually eating donkey.Quote:

Although this sentence makes more sense:
"Too often elderly people are easy prey for swindlers and other criminals."
I just don't understand why you're combative about something like this. And if you weren't, then my apologies for misreading the tone of your first reply to Meg. Why not just be inquisitive about what doesn't make sense to you rather than call it out as bullshit, and then brush those aside who are trying to explain it to you? Seems to be the much easier route to understanding.Quote:

This is a really weird argument, but off the top of my head, three famous movie quotes involving the word being used in a non-cannibalistic manner...
"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? I ask that to all my prey. I just like the sound of it." - Batman
"Do not come between a Nazgul and his prey." - Return of the King
"Being a black man in America isn't easy. The hunt is on, and you are the prey." - Menace II Society
I've already accepted the fact that there are two definitions of prey, but I stand by the context in which Watanabe uses the word. Just because it fits both definitions of the word, doesn't make me wrong.
