"...LOOK, I KNOW WHEN I WATCH A MOVIE I'M GOING TO BE ROOTING FOR THE MONSTERS, BECAUSE I LOVE THE MONSTERS."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Japanese/Kaiju movie inspired poster art for the American sci-fi/action/adventure/disaster/monster movie "Rampage" (2018), directed by Brad Peyton. Artwork by Kouji Tajima (the former, and one of THE koolest movie posters in recent memory). The latter by an unknown artist.

Resolution at 1448x2048 & 846x1200.

COLLIDER: "With the game, you’re playing as the monsters, your goal is to destroy everything. So when we see the movie, are we the audience rooting for you to defeat them or are we rooting for them to destroy everything?"

DWAYNE JOHNSON: I think it’s a combination. It all depends on what you like! [Laughs] Because everyone is going to get satisfied. But also, I think what you’re going to be doing, the goal here is you’re going to be rooting for—look, I know when I watch a movie I’m going to be rooting for the monsters, because I love the monsters. I’m also rooting for the relationship and just taking myself out and watching as a fan, but I think everybody’s going to be satisfied. There’s something for everybody. But the fun of the destruction of "Rampage," which is completely destroying everything, that’s in here. There are some easter eggs in here too that I think people are going to like."

Going to attempt a deep dive in the land of Big G: Gojira aka Godzilla. Starting at the beginning with the classic Gojira/Godzilla (1954.)

I saw this with @gemini_badass_ at the Film Forum for the 60th anniversary. The 70th anniversary is looming large in 2024. Directed by legendary director Ishirō Honda and based on a story by Shigeru Kayama, it tells the story of a fire-breathing kaiju (monster) that terrorizes Japan after an atomic bomb test awakens it from its centuries-old sleep.

It would spawn countess sequels as well as many imitators. Let's see how many in a row I can get through before the end of the year. And of course I'm watching them in the original Japanese with English subbing. I'll show Raymond Burr some love at a later time.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

Godzilla vs. Kong is not the kind of movie that'll give you pause to think. That doesn't matter. The action scenes are rousing, crystal-clear, and varied. The special effects are pristine. Best of all, the film knows what you want to see and delivers.

When Godzilla suddenly Apex Cybernetics’ Pensacola facility, conspiracy theorist Bernie Hayes (Brian Tyree Henry) becomes convinced they somehow provoked the titan. Madison Russell (Millie Bobby Brown) - an avid fan of his podcast - shares his suspicions, they rope her friend Josh (Julian Dennison) into investigating. They’re not entirely wrong. After the attack, Apex insists mankind needs to develop a weapon against Godzilla and ask Monarch to give them access to Kong. They believe the titan ape can lead them inside the vast caverns below our world to a power source formidable enough to take down the king of the monsters.

A recurring flaw with the Monsterverse films is the human element. Unlike other cinematic universes, we haven’t really had people to latch onto. The humans tend to get old, unceremoniously killed, or play their part, then leave. That issue has been (mostly) rectified here. No one is going into this film to see what the humans are up to. Nonetheless, director Adam Wingard keeps the tiny people busy and involved. Millie Bobby Brown’s character back in a major role and most of the film follows Kong, rather than Godzilla. Why is this important? because the ape is the kaiju most similar to us. When Kong is injured, angry, distraught, or relieved, you can tell by his expression. He also has a direct connection to Jia (Kaylee Hottle), a native of his island. She’s deaf. He can’t speak. Your brain links them, and the film expands on this connection with the Jane Goodall-like Dr. Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall), Jia’s adopted mother. Now Kong works for Monarch.

The “vs.” part of the film is where it is at its best. The fights are in the daylight, brightly light, or in dust-free atmospheres which allow you to clearly see the punches, claw swipes, kicks, slashes, tail whips, and blasts. The “fight choreography” is excellent, combining the giddy excitement of WWE matches with spectacular destruction. A scene set in Hong Kong with bright neon lights illuminating the soon-to-be rubble is particularly well done. The lighting is moody and each frame gorgeous enough to be turned into a desktop wallpaper. Best of all? The film has a definitive winner. It’s another example of the movie delivering what you ordered.

Godzilla vs. Kong could’ve certainly injected deeper meaning into its story and given us something to think about after the dust settles. Then again, would it have felt out of place in a story that confirms the Earth is hollow and the home to an ecosystem filled with bizarre leviathans? The inhabitants of Monster Island have been many things over the years but what’s made them endure are the goofy plots, the giddy excitement of seeing larger-than-life rumbles. I had a blast and can’t wait to see it again. (April 4, 2021)

Colossal is one of those movies that I dont get tired of rewatching every year. With Los cronocrimenes, one of the best movies from Vigalondo. I really recommend it :D

The third stop on the Gojira deep dive is one of the most popular of the Gojira movies and the one that I always looked forward to seeing on Channel 9 during Thanksgiving: Kingu Kongu tai Gojira (キングコング対ゴジラ aka King Kong vs. Godzilla) from 1962.

Big G is once again back on the scene, escaping the iceberg he was frozen in. This time he's taking on the object of desire of the Pacific Pharmaceutical Co.: King Kong.

Now I'm not sure why it took 7-years between Gojira films. Maybe it took time for Toho to get the rights for King Kong from Universal? The version I'm watching is the original Japanese version. It differs from the American version that was shown in theaters in 1963. I'm curious to see how different the movies are.

This film marks the return of Ishirō Honda to the director's chair. Honda would direct a total of eleven Gojira movies in addition to a number of other of Toho's Kaiju movies.

After enjoying the great “Godzilla Versus Podcast Zero”, I felt the need to draw some Kaiju goodness based upon their keen rapid fire banter. If you dig Kaiju movies like I do, I urge you guys to give them a listen! They are really great!
