    Rose and I just got back from seeing it in theaters. Our first since Covid. She gave it a 4/5, I gave it a 3/5. While the action scenes were fantastic, the story and human characters brought the whole movie down. Still enjoyable, and I'm glad we saw it in theaters.

    I started doing a quick write-up but it turned into a full review: Godzilla vs. Kong.

    Saw it last week, absolutely loved it. It did what it needed to do, and it did it remarkably well. Those fight scenes were a wonder to behold.

    I'm glad I caught this on it's way out of movie theaters where I'm at. It was insanely entertaining. I sat relatively close to the front of the theater, and between the ear shattering sound and the close ups, man did I feel like I was in the middle of the battles. If it were playing in theaters for the summer, I'd go back at least one more time to watch this larger than life film.

    I've been on a Godzilla/Kong kick lately. I watched GvK (enjoyed it just as much the second time, although without the added bonus of the big screen), Skull Island, and King of Monsters all within the past 2 days.

    Gonna finish it off with Godzilla today before it leaves HBO

    I'm with you. I saw it in the theater and then watched it at home and there's no comparison. My home setup is high quality, but there's just no imitating the theater experience. That's a film that needs to be seen in a theater.

    Looks like we'll be returning to the Lost World. Can't wait to see it on the big screen.

    Hollywood makes a big fuss when a beloved actor finally gets long-overdue recognition from the Oscars after years of waiting, but perhaps the biggest star in cinema history just scored his first nomination after 70 years.

    Folks, let’s give it up to Godzilla. On Tuesday morning, the King of the Monsters’s most recent film, Godzilla Minus One, was nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards.

    The nomination is Godzilla’s first after a lengthy, decades-spanning career. Godzilla, who became a star once nuclear tests mutated him into a skyscraper-size monster who could destroy buildings and tanks with his atomic breath, made his film debut in 1954’s Godzilla. Since then, he’s appeared in a total of 37 feature films — 33 of which, including Minus One, were made by the Japanese studio Toho, while the other four are American productions. A 38th film, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, will open in the U.S. in March 2024.

    Despite this illustrious career, Godzilla had never scored an Oscar nomination before Minus One. His Stateside rival, King Kong, for comparison, has been nominated several times, having received nods for the 1976 movie and even three wins for Peter Jackson’s 2005 take on the Eighth Wonder of the World.

    Notably, Minus One — which features Godzilla attacking a defeated, demilitarized Japan in the immediate wake of World War II — had a fraction of the budget of most American blockbusters, including U.S. Godzilla films like 2021’s Godzilla vs Kong, which had a budget of $155 million and received zero noms. Reports of Minus One’s exact budget vary, but it’s somewhere between $10 and $15 million — 10 percent of GvK’s.

    In an interview with Vulture, the film’s director and writer, Takashi Yamazaki, who also oversaw Minus One’s special effects, noted this stark difference. “Man, you guys have a lot of VFX and you guys have the budget for it,” he said when comparing the American Godzilla films to the Japanese ones.

    Minus One has enjoyed surprising critical and commercial success in the United States, grossing more than $100 million, and becoming the fifth-highest-grossing foreign language film in U.S. box-office history.

    When reached for comment about this honor, Godzilla said, “SKREEEOOONK!”

    I hope they bring minus one to 4k BR. And soon. It looks really good. Back when he was the anatomist.
