    GOJIRA

    by soupeysails

    Are we going to be able to see this film in America? The other 90's movies were available only after the fact on video but we never got a first run release in the US. Anyone know? Maybe a US showing is part of the Toho/Columbia deal? Also how come the 1993 Gojira vs. MekaGojira hasn't been released on a licensed English dub like the others? Its the best one. And where's Mothra? I hear Disney of all folks have the rights to Gamera 2 and 3...Gamera 1 is out on video in US dub, BTW.

    Godzilla 2000

    by kaijukiller

    If you want the total info on G2000 check monsterzero.org/index2.html As for MechaGodzilla 2, that film and Mothra 1 & 2 will be released August 3. ADV Film owns the rights to Gamera 1995, Disney passed on the rights to Gamera 2 and Gamera 3 recently. Though some other companies like Tarantino's did see Gamera 3 at a US screening recently. No word on if he liked it.

    This just looks like the same stuff from the other films! The movies really have just become boring (not crappy like the newest one from you know who). I hope they really pump up the action and do a few new things around this time... Still, I never can turn down Godzilla.

    Godzilla, how many are ye?

    by grouchlord

    The LAST Godzilla movie I ever saw was Godzilla vs. Biolante, and boy did it bore the shit out of me worse than Godzilla 1985(why include the release date in the title?) Sony's craptacular debacle will be buried for aliens to discover in the far distant futurama. I want to see a decent Big G, a man in a suit destroying high quality models! Special effects should be goosed by a computer not fully rendered cause its just not there folks. Mummy looked like a frickin' cartoon, me and my girl laughed at their pitiful rendering of ancient egypt that any old school matte painter could of outdone on a bad day.-GL-

    the big G

    by stitch

    There's something terribly wrong with the world when the $125 million U.S. version of Godzilla was has bad if not worse than the the worst Toho Godzilla film (Godzilla on monster island). Imagine if Toho had that budget to do a Godzilla flick. It would be incredible. At least they wouldn't make a scene by scene remake of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms that was Centropolis' Godzilla.

    Glad to see the *real* Godzilla
    reappearing at last! As for
    G vs. MechaG II and the new
    Mothra films, at least they're finally going to be released
    here in *some* form. Anyone
    hear any American release
    rumors on Gamera 2 & 3?

    Anyway, I downloaded the G2000
    trailer above, but neither the newest version of RealMedia's G2 player nor the newest version of
    Microsoft's Windows Media Player
    will run it! Both respond with
    an error message along the line
    of 'Invalid Media Type'....

    DWD: I Can Get Behind This.

    by dwdunphy

    I think everyone was underwhelmed by Godzilla 98 USA,having been told by the stupid talking Chihuahua that it would be some epiphany of monster flicks (On a side note, Taco Bell should get merchandising dibs for Spike Lee's 'Summer Of Sam'... Alright, that was tasteless, but I couldn't just leave the talking dog alone!) Anyway, for the critic of The Mummy, sure it wasn't scary but it was leagues better than the wretched Coppola's Dracula and Branaugh's Frankenstein. At least The Mummy was fun. But speaking of fun, Godzilla 2000 is gonna be fun in spades! Even the MST3K-Cheese Factor can't touch it. I'm going to love watching Fujikawa-san stomping down Toho Blvd. in the big rubber suit, roaring that classic roar. My biggest problem is that people are gonna mock the movie as a digression to Lo-Fi movie making. To them I say, "Shut up now, before you screw the whole thing up!" Heresy alert- I didn't mind the Emmerich/Devlin movie. It wasn't Godzilla. More like Jurassic East than anything else, but it was a mindless stroll. Certainly not what I wanted, expected or, for that matter, got. Well, my expectations are very high for this, meaning of course that they're waaay low...

    Where is LaneMyers?

    by wtf?

    Is there anyone who can tell me where that fucking asshole LaneMyers has disappeared to? Is he dead? Did he really go ahead and kill himself? Will he be missed? Judging from the postings at Dark Horizons, people have a craving for this guy. Why the hell that should be is anyone's guess. I mean, can you believe the crap that Lane posted regarding Harry? Telling him to literally go fuck himself n'all!! And this from a guy who lapped at the ass of AICN for so long! The campaign to ban Myers might have failed, but Harry Knowles finally did our work for us!! HEIL HARRY!!!

    Tokyo roadtrip!!! Or airtrip, I guess!

    by rodzilla

    This posting is for PETER BLOOD, Harry and Gordon ( even though he hates Godzilla movies! Shame!). If I can beg/borrow/steal the funds, I want to try and be the geek I know I can be, and fly to Japan to see "Godzilla 2000" this December. We all know Toho isn't interested in distributing their films over here, and nobody over here is interested in distribution rights either. The treatment that Toho's Godzilla films have received over here is a crime. Has anyone seen Tristar's poor excuse for videotapes? They're recorded in EP speed, pan & scanned, poorly transfered so the film looks terrible, mono ( no great stereo sound here) and poorly dubbed. I bought the "G Vs. King Ghidorha/ G Vs. Mothra" DVD, only to discover that my bootleg tapes looked and sounded MUCH BETTER that the DVD!!! Gosh, I wonder why Toho doesn't care if its films get released in America? This new Godzilla film is the first film in a brand new series with a new Godzilla, and to me it's as big a deal as "The Phantom Menace" is to everyone here in this country. So, I'm throwing out this idea to Harry: Would you be interested in getting a group together for a shared adventure to the land of the Rising Sun? We could save money by making this a group effort.

    Trailer Difficulties Solved!

    by jello

    A kind soul helped solve my problem with viewing the
    G2000 trailer, so I thought
    I'd pass on the solution.
    You need the newest Quicktime
    4 to see it; apparently RealMedia's G2 and MS's Windows Media Player don't support
    the newest .MOV format yet.
    You can download the newest QuickTime player for free from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
    download/.

    Hope everyone enjoys it! :)

    The real deal.

    by shadow lord

    The japanesse version is and always will be the real deal. I've been a godzilla since I was 5, and was horrifed by what tirstar did to it in the amercain crap version.

    To however said series 2 was boring... Personally, I think most of them have been really good. I haven't seen mechagodzilla yet, but my personal fav so far is destroyah. I really liked the monster, and liked how it tied with the orginal. As for biollante, good effects and monster, bad story.

    Tristars tapes have been terrible. And they haven't realsled mecagodzilla yet? I think they're doing this one purpose, to try to get their own sequl to the amercian version look good. But, I can see past the bad dubbing, that any of the jappense films are better than the amercain crap.

    I hope 2000 is brought over here to the states, it would kick tristars crap version's a** at the box office. But, probably the best we can hope for is video:(

    Harry, you've made a couple of referecnces to godzilla as being cheap. Trust me, it cost more money than you think. TO consturct the model citys with all the detials, and even the rubber suits, cost quite a bit. These are considered main event movies in japan.

    Well, at least the ture godzilla has returned! YAHOO!

    The REAL story on Lane Meyers

    by spacey

    I have spoken to him through AOL. He says someone found out his password (which he uses for everything) and went through trying to wreck everything he had done. All of the post about his self-destructivness were all done by the imposter, according to Lane. Evidently he tried to contact Harry, to get it straighted out. Lane says that Harry blew him off or something, and he no longer wants to contribute to this site. He seemed quite angry at Harry, such as Harry is getting too big for his britches. I speak only what he told me.

    Japanese Godzilla forever!!!!!!! =)

    by flint2

    Yeah! Me and my brother (he's an even bigger Godzilla nut than me) have had the poster art of the new mean Godzilla up as wallpaper on our desktop for about a month. This is what an "improved" Godzilla should look like. Not that wimpy, sorry ass excuse for an iguana that those clueless little pukes Devlin and Emmerich threw in our face last year. I'm glad TOHO has decided to make more Godzilla movies. After they saw the american G they probably felt a need to. I think the new TOHO Godzilla design is perfect. A very sharp, ferocious, and all around bad ass looking reptile from the depths of radioactive hell. I think TOHO is taking a lesson from Daei's Gamera improvements and making a whole new monster mash. And it's in a suit too, the way it should be. Good old fashioned Godzilla is back with a city stomping vengeance! Whoo hoo! =)

    Godzilla - Emmerich/ Godzilla 2000

    by lensman

    It is unfortunate that so many people feel the need to criticize the Centropolis Godzilla film. The fact of the matter is that it is a classic FX film with a lightweight but entertaining screenplay. I highly suggest locating the Cinefex article about the 98 Godzilla, as well as watching the film on Laser Disc or DVD to [a] take advantage of the audio commentary and [b] to truly study the FX, which are brilliant. Besides the stunning FX work, the film also has an amazing visual texture and atmosphere. The lighting and cinematography are both noteworthy. Not many creature films have the level of craft that Godzilla has.
    Godzilla 2000 will no doubt be another fine Toho 'Zilla film. But it is very wrong for anyone who has NEVER made a film, and never intends to do so, to tear apart a movie as well made as the Roland Emmerich Godzilla - it is presumptuous and rude.

    90's Gojira films in the US

    by soupeysails

    There are LETTERBOXED English Subtitled videos of all the Gamera, Gojira and Mosura films available from retailers on the 'net.

    I believe you can even get Mothra 3 and Gamera 3 by next month. Maybe even now. I recommend the videos taken from the Japanese LDs because they often have cool stuff like trailers, commercials and (in the case of the sought after Gojira vs. MekaGojira) deleted scenes. Did you know there were "cameos" of King Ghidorah and Mothra in that movie? Anyhow, happy hunting!

    True, Lensman---

    by rodzilla

    You're right, Lensman, in that we've become a culture with a voracious appetite for new films. We never really stop to think that it took someone ( actually quite a few someones) two years or more of hard work to make a film. We sit and watch it in 90 to 120 minutes and rip it appart like yesterday's garbage without really putting much thought into our criticism. It's so much easier to say, "That sucked!" or "What's this lump of dog shit!?!?" than to actually wait--spend a little time thinking about it/ absorbing it--and offer some constructive criticism about it. Now, sadly, I'm one of those people who didn't like the American "Godzilla" film much at all from a conceptual level. It just wasn't the big "Godzilla" film I wanted to see. In fact, it wasn't Godzilla at all. It was just some big, mutant dinosaur movie that was more influenced by "The Lost World" than its Japanese source material. However, I do have the DVD, and I do appreciate the work put into the film's visual eefects. Patrick Tatopoulos is a very talented designer and craftsman and Volker Engel and his crew, including the great Joe Viskoci, did their jobs with gusto.

    followup

    by shadow lord

    Let me say that amercian G did have some very amazing CGI effects, as people have pointed out.

    but, I don't think that was the way G was meant to be. CGI is great, but there is a place and time for everything, and I don't think G should be all CGI. However, I think it would be interesting to sort of have rubber suits and completment it with CGI images. I think toho has tried this a few times, though they haven't been very successful yet. Anyway, leave the all CGI stuff for movies like the phantom menace. The american G was a good monster movie, but it just wasn't godzilla, and had not right to be called that.They should have called it something else, created their own monster. But they wanted to cash in on the name as much as they could.

    As for Devlin and emmerich, I don't like them at all. there other work was independence day, which was a rip-off of the classic war of the worlds all the way thourgh, with several inconsicies. I'll be very receptive if they make a decent movie, but that is yet to happen.

    BV, I can't agree with you at all. You say that the amercian version would be considered a classic if it came out in 1954. Well, sorry, but it isn't 1954. Its 1999. The orginal's story sucked? Sorry, but I consider the best G movie ever. G became more of a action seires, but this one had a deeper message, godzilla was an allergory for the horrors of nuclear war visited on japan.

    And final harry. Be afraid, be very afraid? Why are you even opening a section on G 2000 when you obviosuly hate it so much already? Have you already seen the movie or something? Really, there are plenty of other fairer sites who are willing to look at G2000.

    Let Me Clarify About Negativity and Big G

    by grouchlord

    It seems almost a fad to rail against the negative culture of the 90's. It's a very funny to me that while on the one hand people slam negativity, they're actually purveying their own sort of negativity when they jibe at other peoples' legitimate opinions under the cover of supposedly standing up for artist endeavors. Are we to be syncophants to people like Roland-Emmerick because it was a difficult thing to get a film made? Do I like Godzilla? I had a cheesey rubber Godzilla for a car mascot for years until he was lost... Did I like Sony's Godzilla? Let's just say that I didn't leave the theater with any buzz like, I've got to see that again. Not ever for the bargain show. I'm all for supporting anthing getting done, but in the end, if I think it Sucks, no matter what went into it will matter.-GL-

    by godbear

    I ate at this steak place last night and got this steak that tasted like a monster truck tire soaked in gasoline. When I complained to the manager he told me that since I don't own my own restaurant and have never run a restaurant I had no right to complain about his cooking. He said I should just go home and absorb the taste of his food and think about all the greatness that actually went into it. So I beat him senseless. And he can't complain since he's never given a beating before and doesn't understand what I had to go through to give him that beating. Come on! I'm so tired of people telling me I can't complain when I don't get value for my movie going dollar. Godzilla 1998 was a straight up terrible film, with a ridiculous plot, lame acting and effects which seemed driven to prevent me from ever seeing the freaking monster. Yeah those effects were neat. If you like looking at rain for two hours.

    by br1mst0n3

    It was a fun film to watch...all these people talking about the FX in the movie, has anyone ever seen G vs. King Gidorah?..yea lets get into crappy FX now....


    meanwhile lets not forget Toho had killed Godzilla off by 95' until G98 made over 350M, some of which went to Toho (which was the plan all along, so none of the "they did it bcause G98 was bad" Bulls****)Toho was then allowed to create G2k..so if anything you should be thanking Sony/D&E/ for G98 because without it you wouldn't have anything at all as far as Godzilla is concerned...gee it's almost like you Hardcore-G-fanatics wont accept anything unless its in a rubber suit!
