Sorry about that. I didn't think that it would be so big. I'll be more careful next time.

He was and will be one of the greats. With all the talk about CGI and animatronics, their is something indeliable about him and Godzilla suits. Cheesy, maybe but for the time it was needed. Even more so considering Toho's reputation for being cheap. He did his work with gusto and all Godzilla fans love him for it. He will be missed, but still loved and remembered.

Matt Frank made this tribute to Haruo Nakajima via his Deviantart page.

I loved Godzilla in a suit. I realize that would look ridiculous now but back then it was very fitting. I still have a box of about 20-30 Godzilla VHS tapes.

That's really cool. This film could turn out to be a mrga fan pleaser if the story and action sequences are good.

We have an idea of what Godzilla will look like in Godzilla: Planet Of The Monsters.

There will definitely be a winner in GVK!!!

Quote :

“I do want there to be a winner. The original film was very fun, but you feel a little let down that the movie doesn’t take a definitive stance. People are still debating now who won in that original movie, you know. So, I do want people to walk away from this film feeling like, Okay, there is a winner.”

Personally I don't see them killing either one, but I'm glad they're willing to take a stance on a victory. But maybe I'm wrong because he says it needs to be emotional.

Quote :

“I really want you to take those characters seriously. I want you to be emotionally invested, not just in the human characters, but actually in the monsters. If I had my way, I want people to really be teary-eyed at the end of the movie, and be that invested in to what’s going on.”

“It’s a massive monster brawl movie. There’s lots of monsters going crazy on each other, but at the end of the day I want there to be an emotional drive to it. I want you to be emotionally invested in them. I think that’s what’s going to make it cool.”

In a monster movie like that, there doesnt need to be a winner to be honest.

I'm cool with it being a winner as long as it's not like a killing blow.

Cool Godzilla statue.

What... if, Godzilla is actually, the most misunderstood, super hero, we ever had? call him when Rodan attacks?
did you know I found kanji, for his name?
no, really, in real life; the Japanese empire, that's culture, heredity, people make places, the 'kingdom of the red sun' that's Japan, and not just, 'origin of the sun' Nippon, right? is uh, huge, across the planet,
there's TONS of phoenetic readings, for kanji, their symbol language,
so if some, what, latin descent area, was ripe with Japanese culture, part of what a REAL empire still is, today,
then like, the reading for these kanji, could actuall just be, GOD ZILLA, god, ocean lizard, or, what, see? 神鱠
how, the heck, could that, NOT be his kanji? it means, god, or, guardian, kami, 神 sure, maybe, and then ocean lizard? 鱠 but could literally, in another region, just have been read, godzilla
who else would you call?
神鱠

I like you guys, how are you? who's real?
who's here?

Sad News. Yoshio Tsuchiya, the veteran actor of multiple Godzilla and Ultraman movies, has died at the age of 90. His final appearance in a Godzilla movie was 'Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah' where he played Mr. Shindo.

I always get so awkward when I see people dying at 90 or something. Mainly bc i have a grandparent at 96 who's still able to walk/live unassisted just got me paranoid sometimes.

Omg dude my great grandmother is 93-94 and still in pretty good health. Usually people our age don't get 20 some years with great grandparents, lots of people don't get any years with them period.

Cherish them please, they are walking miracles . I understand the paranoia though.


Back on topic. Didn't we have a Godzilla actor already die this year? Rip.

Rest in peace though, implies that you know the truth, and the truth would be?

That would imply I'm talking about the actor he just said died. That's what that means.

No, saying "rest in peace" means you're hoping they're finally at rest, at peace in the afterlife.

I'm really surprised that filming wrapped up so soon. You'd expect movies to come out in the second half of 2018 or very early 2019 with the filming being wrapped up as fast as it did.

+ 1, they only filmed for 3 months, compare that to Godzilla 2014 which filmed for 4, seems this film will be pretty short, maybe JP3 short?

Given that they have to introduce 3 new monsters on top of showing Godzilla I certainly hope not.

Maybe this means there is just a ton of CGI monster battles? I saw people hoping that on toho kingdom.

But like, a "wake" as opposed to a funeral, doesn't imply they were set to try and wake the sleeping dead? Why else would it be, rest in peace, anyway?
Culturally, I'm not obligated to believe in death science. What do you know?

Does anyone think Godzilla might have been the opposite of what they say? Like, Rodan attacks, and it's Godzilla神鱠 you call? Catydids kill pray mantises, you're not supposed to think they're monster evil, you know?

Do you think Godzilla is literally evil?

This also fits with the Pacific Rim thread, but I decided to put it here.

The Godzillaverse-Pacific Rim crossover may eventually happen.

Unpopular opinion: I think Godzilla 1998 is, in many aspects, a superior film to Godzilla 2014. Though I do think that 2014 sets up the lore better.

I like Godzilla 2014 much better as a “Godzilla movie”.

But I agree. The 1998 film has tons of charm and is so much fun! I watch it Everytime it comes on tv when I’m surfing.
