gojira – Moe Lane

OHHHH YEAAAAAH. #gojira #godzilla

That’s what I’m talking about.

That’s what I want for dinner.

…That is, indeed, a very large Godzilla.

Assuming that the movie poster isn’t lying. But how often does THAT happen?

io9 has more, including a handy Relative Gojira Size chart. My only quibble there is that I wish that they had thought to use real units of measure: at this level the difference between yards and meters adds up.

Is THIS going to be what the Gorilla-Whale looks like? #gojira #godzilla

If so… like io9, I can maintain an even strain about it.

io9 notes the arms and the neck, which tells me that the movie guys at least looked at theropods when doing the design. But it’s not a fifty-foot parthenogenic gecko. I’ll count my blessings, here.

Movie of the Week: The Abominable Dr. Phibes.

I have not seen The Abominable Dr. Phibes in years – decades – and damned if I know why I have not; it was excellent, for what it was. Which is to say, a horror movie best described as ‘the sort of film designed to let Vincent Price have fun without working too hard at it.’ Still, seeing what the Mod period thought that the Victorian period looked like is alone worth the price of admission.

And so, Gojira sinks back into the ocean.

Movie of the Week: Gojira.

Gojira / Godzilla Deluxe Collector’s Edition (Gojira/Godzilla [1954] / Godzilla, King of the Monsters [1956]) was suggested to me by my dear wife, who has always appreciated herself a good ‘guy in a monster suit smashing Tokyo’ movie. And as she pointed out, the original movie was a horror flick, not the… whatever genre it is by now; so it counts for October, which is apparently going to be at least spooky in its book/movie choices. So it goes.

Catch you on the flip side, Sleepy Hollow.
