Apparently, Alamo Drafthouse has been playing this little "PSA" before every Godzilla screening.
I love it.

I just may see it again this weekend. While it might not help out much with the box office, if I'm going to a movie in theaters more then once this year, at least it would be part of a franchise I've been a lifelong fan of.

It's ok, they found their political allegory. I was rolling my eyes just imagining all the climate change hot takes that entertainment journalism would churn out while listening to Emma's whole justification for unleashing Gidorah.
I dunno, the movie was ok. Wish I had been able to see half of the monster fights and they didn't have literally everything shrouded in rain or smoke or other miscellaneous particle effects. The human characters were only marginally more interesting than the last ones, and Charles Dance really needs to star in something he actually wants to be in, instead of delivering the same retread of Tywin Lannister (but more visibly bored this time) he's been doing lately.

Just got back from seeing the new Godzilla movie. Gonna go ahead and put my thoughts down in spoilers because I don't wanna ruin it for anybody:
Okay, so the pros for me were as follows:
* King Ghidora was probably my favourite thing about the monsters. He had the most screen time and his fight scenes were really fun.
* The music was great - really good renditions of the monster themes.
* Mothra owning Rodan was awesome.
* Speaking of which both Mothra and Rodan were good too.
* I liked the nod to the twins from the original Mothra film.
* Serizawa's death was rather touching (even if Godzilla looked like he really didn't give a damn).
And as for the cons:
* The human plot was bland and stupid.
* Some of the fight scenes felt a bit cluttered by rain or snow or other falling debris.
* Not enough of Mothra - they hyped her up in the trailer but she didn't get as nearly enough screen time as I feel the Queen of the Cosmos deserves.
* The acting wasn't that good.
So all in all I feel that it was a decent film if you ignore the human shenanigans and just focus on the monster fights. I still think Japan does it a lot better, though.

It... turns out the director is a Mothzilla shipper, so the references were definitely done on purpose.
He's been reblogging shipping fan-art as well.

Some of it's pretty cute, admittedly (can't find it for some reason, but someone drew hybrid babies and I'm ashamed to say that got me choked up), but it's just... so fucking weird.
'Kay, this is actually a pretty neat idea.
Bonus Tumblr art:

Yeah it always starts off cute and innocent, but then you get the weirdos that take it too far.
Godzilla and Mothra as the King and Queen? Awesome.
Fan art wedding photos? Cute.
But then sooner or later it goes to darker places and becomes Tumblr nut bags sperging about how Godzilla and Mothra were "meant to be" and how they are an "idealized non-binary couple" and all the sex fan art shows up.

It's already happening.
I'm sure they're out there, but Tumblr doesn't have them. Jokey picture I spoilered a few posts up might actually count, though.
But yeah, Mothzilla's like an old ship apparently, but it was always rather on the down-low. The poor optimistic bastards are saying on Tubmlr how happy they are for the influx of new fans joining their ship, but do they not realize they're on Tumblr?
EDIT: Lol "Tubmlr", I'm keeping it.

The idea of two destructive monster abominations finding love and companionship is oddly pretty cute.
But feeding tumblr is like feeding a raccoon with rabies. If you get too close, they'll make you seriously regret it.

Right now, I'm loving the adorable "wedding" fanart. It's super cute.
But ... Yeah ... The weirdos are going to make their own fanart soon, and I'll want to die when it happens.

Just watched Godzilla: KotM. Would had watched it earlier, but Google screwed up with showing the movie dates.
Being my first Godzilla movie to watch in theaters, it was worth it.
Mostly on the human side, it was "Some people just want the world to burn". The Watanabe guy was great.
Kaiju side: Straight up fun.
Overal: Godzilla and Mothra are the best characters in the movie.

I also thought about that possibility.
Mecha King Ghidorah is a thing in the Japanese movies ... One of my favorite Godzilla movies, too.
I adore how this movie laid down the groundwork for several sequel possibilities. Let's just all hope that these sequels are made. Apparently the movie is doing well in the foreign box office.

Will wait to see it like I did the 2014 one.
....or maybe just watch Shin Godzilla again. Would prefer a sequel to that.

The home release will be on August 27th and included in the special features may be six to eight deleted scenes. The director has stated his cut of the movie was around 30 minutes longer than what came out in theaters. Hopefully some of those scenes will include more monster fights or even monsters destroying parts of the world after King Ghidorah awakens them.

So apparently there is additional detail in this movie that I didn't catch when I saw it in theaters.
Supposedly, when Ghidorah charges up by absorbing the power from the electrical lines in the final battle, you can see wounds on him healing, keeping in line with his ability to heal himself.
Guess I'll have to look out for it when I see the movie again.

I remember that, but it was showcased really gruesomely when he regrew his head, so can't really fault anyone for missing those little tidbits after seeing that.
