    I just want the movie now. Goddamn covid taking my movie theater going experiences and the monster movies...
    Blog!

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up

    Pretty much the worst kept secret in Hollywood right now.

    I'm tickled that both Kong and Godzilla have a "young girl who is the only one who understands him" in their corners. Battle Royale!

    Here's my weird, reactionary take for today:

    I legitimately don't understand Americans on social media rooting for Godzilla over Kong.

    I'm an American. Of course I'm for Kong all the way. Kong needs to win and I will be pissed if he doesn't.

    Rooting for Godzilla is like rooting against your hometown team when they're in the playoffs. Who does that?!

    Could it be as simple as a cool factor? Godzilla is objectively cooler than Kong.

If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Hear hear.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Kong.

    But c'mon...it's Godzilla.

    Also, Godzilla has a much more sizable film catalog.

    Hey if this franchise wants to go dark and gritty and realistic, we must also factor in that Godzilla has laser breath! It's virtually impossible for him to lose.

    Cool is def a factor. But consider this:

    Has Godzilla ever had a girlfriend? I don't think he has. (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

    Meanwhile, Kong's effect on the ladies is legendary.

    TL;DR: This fight is the Virgin Godzilla vs the Chad Kong. So again, I think there's only 1 legit choice of who to back.

    Well, Godzilla has had a kid or two. Hooked up with a Lady G and she left him with the kid?

    I do, dammit, but I'm probably not the best person to ask.

    Nope - you can be forgiven for thinking so, seeing as he has a "son" in Minilla/Minya, but Godzilla's actual paternity was never made clear.

    With those thighs, I'm sure he has no trouble slaying it.

    Cut to Maury: "You are NOT the father." And Godzilla high fives everyone in the room.

    Would the true King of the Monsters need to appear in over 30 movies? That strikes me as a massive cry for attention. It's a little needy, a little desperate.

    No, I think a true King would be more secure, only appearing in a handful of films.

    Curious that no one was ever confused over the prowess of certain other monsters, don't you think?

    I feel like Kaiju paternity tests are a reality TV niche that is criminally undertapped.

    There’s even more proof of Kong’s prowess in the, er, classic King Kong Lives!

    I think we are all forgetting that in the original classic with Matthew Broderick, Godzilla had TONS of babies.
