Godzilla (1998)

In today's review, I find that the late 80s were very dino-mite, as I attempt a #positive review of the 1998 blockbuster film, Godzilla #MatthewBroderick #JeanReno #MariaPitillo #HankAzaria #KevinDunn #MichaelLerner #HarryShearer #ArabellaField

When stories get told, a part of their country of origin is packaged and sent far and wide. We learn a lot about how different populations view life, the universe, and everything in between, from Hollywood’s blockbusters to Saturday morning cartoons from Japan. A nation’s identity can be gleaned from how different the adaptations of a similar story may be. In 1998, it was up to the United States…

New Fan Editing Project: Godzilla (1998)

Yep, I’m at it again with fan editing!

I recently completed my third fan edit, an edit of The Relic (1997) (if you’re interested in checking it out, just send me a message), and started thinking about what I could work on next.  I considered returning back to my Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla fan edit, but that got me thinking instead about Godzilla (1998).

G’98 is a movie with issues.

I’ve had a bit of a roller-coaster relationship with G’98.  I saw the movie in theaters when I was 12, but unlike most I’d actually already seen EVERY Godzilla movie (including the then-recent and not yet released in America Heisei movies, which my parents had bought me imported fansubbed bootlegs of) and walked of the theater having thoroughly enjoyed it.  It wasn’t until I read the next issue of G-Fan and saw that every other Godzilla fan in the world had hated it that I suddenly switched gears (so fast my parents were confused) and decided I hated it too.  It wasn’t until five years later that I revisited it and my opinion softened, deciding I didn’t hate it after all but just didn’t care much for it.  The last time I revisited it - now almost a decade ago - I was struck by how boring a movie it is, and that that’s its greatest sin.  Not Godzilla’s radical redesign, not Godzilla’s personality - frankly, nothing to do with Godzilla himself - but the story of the movie is just DULL.

Why?

Lots has been written about how much people dislike Maria Pitillo’s character and performance, but that’s just a symptom of the real issue:  the movie WANTS to be a Romantic Comedy.  From the start of the film until about 30 to 35 minutes in, the movie is deceptively...fine.  More than one person has told me (and it’s happened to me too) that upon revisiting the first Act is actually quite decent and lulls you into thinking maybe you’ve been too hard on it.  Then the second Act starts and the film decides it’s going to be a bad Romantic Comedy from now on, often forgetting about Godzilla for LOOONG stretches.  Which maybe could be tolerable if Matthew Broderick and Maria Pitillo had chemistry, but they really don’t.  What’s worse, neither character really DOES anything - all of the actual decisions in the movie and actual agency rest with the two main supporting characters played by Hank Azaria and Jean Reno.  I’ve felt ever since that the movie would’ve been significantly stronger and more watchable had those two been the leads, and the Broderick/Pitillo story reduced to a subplot.

Part of why I hadn’t attempted this before was because, well, I didn’t think there was enough to work with.  The movie’s only an 1h 50m, I kept telling myself, and if I made all the alterations I had in mind I’d be left with, what?  An hour?  There just wasn’t enough there.  Except, I’M A MORON.  It was while thinking about it again earlier this week that I actually stopped to check what the runtime is, and my jaw dropped:

Godzilla (1998) is 2h 18m long!!

That’s WAAAY too long, and means there’s over 40 MINUTES I could theoretically cut and still be an acceptable feature length (around 1h 30m)!

So that’s what I’m doing.

BROAD STROKES PLAN

Cut back on scenes with Matthew Broderick, Maria Pitillo, and their storylines to reduce them to supporting characters.

Rearrange scenes to improve pacing and create a greater focus on Godzilla, Hank Azaria, and Jean Reno.

If possible, radically reorganize the second half of the film to eliminate the Baby Godzillas storyline which always felt tacked on, derivative of Jurassic Park, and there to pad out the film.

Alter the ending to make Godzilla’s death more ambiguous, or maybe even change it so he lives (had the idea of ending with his eyes reopening, then cutting to black with the sounds of his roar and people screaming).

Examine the feasibility of changing the music choices, as I felt the musical tone is too...whimsical?

I was planning to work on this today but, alas, some stuff has gotten in the way.  Still, I’m hoping to give this a try this coming week and see what I can do with the movie.

back to basics

El otro día pensé en qué pasaría si me hubiera plantado en el colegio con los baggy jeans que últimamente no me quito. Era la época del pitillo ajustado y de tiro alto hasta el esternón (y iba a un colegio de curas) así que lo más probable es que ese día hubiera sido el hazmerreír del colegio entero. Ahora ir en pitillos es bastante de choni creo, yo definitivamente me deshice de todos en cuanto las tendencias empezaban a apuntar hacia un futuro mejor en el que nuestras ingles y tripa ya no tendrían que ir embutidas como una butifarra.

Encima, he visto fotos y me quedaban fatal. Los calcetines hasta la rodilla con rayas deportivas de American Apparel (lo único que me podia permitir de la tienda con mi semanada de quinceañera) y los shorts vintage híper cortos de Levi’s con los que me planté a la fiesta de verano del colegio para hacerme la moderna, también me quedaban realmente mal. Creo que nadie me dijo nada así que igual sí que coló, pero lo mas probable es que se rieran de mi a escondidas durante toda la semana. Y menos mal que me compré esos calcetines y no las cangrejeras rosas (que eran mi primera opción), pero tengo que decir que al body negro de escote en V que me compré junto con los calcetines le sigo dando bastante uso.

Pues mi conclusión de esto es que hay que comprarse básicos en los que te sientas cómoda, clásicos y atemporales, e intentar no hacerse demasiado la moderna. Vamos, nada nuevo.
