    I have watched the abridged version of Final Wars many times, and its fun.

    There's an abridged version?

    I watch Final Wars all the time. It's my second favorite Godzilla movie.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Ha, yeah, the fast forward button. Sometimes you just need a monster fix. I know you love all the other stuff in that movie, while I just like watching Godzilla fuck shit up.

    I don't think I saw anyone mention that Toho is putting out a new Godzilla movie next year, co-directed by tokusatsu/kaiju superfan Anno Hideaki (Evangelion) and Higuchi Shinji (effects director of Kaneko Shusuke's glorious early 90s Gamera films).

    Like, this can't not be amazing.

    The third gen Godzilla movies are so damned entertaining. Not to knock the older ones, but those ones with Godzilla's son are the worst.

    As far as I'm concerned the only right answer to "what's the best Godzilla movie after the original?" is GMK.
    "All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"

    "Rick...it's a flamethrower."

    I forgot to bump this thread last year when I was viewing every Godzilla movie they had on Netflix Instant Viewing. Also I still need to see Mothra and somehow get my hands on Destroy All Monsters.

    Just received Godzilla vs Megalon and Godzilla vs Biollante.

    Getting close to owning every Godzilla movie ever.

    I really wish someone would release 1985 on DVD/BluRay.

    Not that I know of. I own the VHS tape (it's actually the first Godzilla film I ever saw).

    This is from another forum, but I had to share:

    Picked up the non-Ric boy X plus Diamond reissue of Kiryu Mechagodzilla from Godzilla SOS.
    I have no idea what any of that means, but I gotta admit, that is one sweet Meachagodzilla!

    just ordered this bad boy, a childhood favorite. Looking forward to experiencing it all over again.



    The blu ray restoration is apparently miles beyond the previous two horrendous DVD offerings.



    And they apparently went all out for the extras on this blu ray release, appealing to fans to help locate rare photos and comics.

    Quote Quoting DVD Savant
    Fans will love VCI's gaudy collection of ancillary extras. This is the first good transfer I've seen of the original trailer, which must have had every kid in the country begging to see Gorgo. I myself saw one B&W TV commercial at age nine, and convinced my parents that I'd crumble into bits if I couldn't see it that coming Saturday. The art and still galleries must include every scrap of ad paper and still photo issued both here and in Europe (I, ahem, am a proud owner of a U.S. one-sheet). And collectors have contributed issues of old Charlton Gorgo comic books with their Steve Ditko art, as well as a French photo-story book along the lines of an Italian fumetto. A restoration video is included as well.
    I remember the destruction of all those famous London landmarks being especially pleasing.

    One of my all time fav MST3Ks, because I still like the movie. "They pulled into port and everyone was okay, they went out for lunch and felt BETTTER!!!"

    That print is badass.

    Godzilla vs. Hedorah is fairly cool, and a dark environmentally oriented monster flick. Also this is one of the rare older Godzilla films to feature up and close up violence. Also Godzilla using his breath to fly is awesome.

    Godzilla vs Gigan is...okay. The characters are not very interesting, and it takes a bit too long to be interesting. I did enjoy the tag team fights, and Godzilla reacting to a life sized replica of him was funny.

    I also viewed Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002) last year. Decent, fun movie, and its neat that it has a female lead. I want one of those Godzilla hats the Japan Self-Defense Forces were wearing.

    Godzilla vs. Gigan has one of the better super awesome finishing moves, where Anguirus flies into Gigan spikes first while Godzilla holds him. That was pretty flippin' sweet.

    Yes, that was radical. The fights were good.

    I would love it if Anguirus pops up in one of the new Godzilla films.

    The Showa Era Godzilla films (the original 1954 Gojira through 1975's Terror of MechaGodzilla) recently got the Criterion Collection treatment, which to my delight I got for Christmas.

    I was thinking about working my way through them, in order of release. Would anybody care to read my thoughts on them in this thread?
