Atlanta United vs. Inter Miami (Regular Season September) ALTERNATIVE COMMENTARY!

Disclaimer: No offense intended for either Burke (the real one) or Messi fanboys and girls.

Vinicius: With me, futebol expert and owner of the soon-to-be-popular Sidemascots channel, Vinicius not Moraes…

Burke: And Atlanta’s #1 United Fan, Burke!

Vinicius: Sorry Burke.

Burke: What?

Vinicius: You’re not invited to our commentary box.

Burke: WHAT?

Vinicius: Now can you please go…

Burke: Right where I belong?

Vinicius: Right where you belong. In the stands.

Burke: Fine! Back inside a crowd of humans where I belong…

Vinicius: Where was I? Oh yes!

Miraitowa: Miraitowa!

Vinicius: Default Olympic mascot!

Miraitowa: DEFAULT OLYMPIC MASCOT?!

Vinicius: Admit it, you’re the first in line when talking about Olympic mascots…

Miraitowa: Don’t get me to start a heated debate in the commentary box…

Vinicius: About being the default?

Miraitowa: No, the box of bagels gets on my toes.

Vinicius: Uhhhh…. NOTHING!

Miraitowa: We’re kicking it off!

Vinicius: Burke is, as always, Atlanta United’s 12th man.

Miraitowa: Why is he the 12th man?

Vinicius: He’s been a fan of it since day one.

Miraitowa: Who in the right mind wears the same cosplay as me?

Vinicius: Let’s not… talk about that.

Miraitowa: By the way, Vini, if Burke’s the home side’s 12th man, who’s the away side’s 12th man?

Vinicius: The entire world, I guess?

Miraitowa: Ahahahahaha, I should write this down for future jokes…

Vinicius: Unfortunately, the 12th men will be disappointed today as Messi’s their benchwarmer.

Miraitowa: Is he injured?

Vinicius: No, they think he’s a good super sub. Considering he scored a brace last time.

13th minute

It’s the man who wears Messi’s PSG number with a cross…

Miraitowa: And it went to no man’s land!

Vinicius: Oh wait, Inter Messi- I mean Miami regains possession… Saved! By Atlanta United’s shiny goalkeeper!

Miraitowa: Shiny new?

Vinicius: No, shiny head.

Burke: HEY! I HAVE THE PLAYER NAMES! THIS COULD HELP YOU!

Vinicius: SHUT UP BURKE! EVERYONE DOESN’T KNOW THE PLAYERS NAMES ANYWAY! Well apart from Messi, Suarez, Alba, and Busquets.

Burke: THE DISRESPECT!

Miraitowa: Calm down Vini…

Vinicius: WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT, MASCOT RIP-OFF!

29th minute

Miraitowa: The boys in Pink (definitely not Someity) are on the attack…

Vinicius: PASS! SHOOT! GOAL! A man whose name sounds like some Brazilian with nice hair scores!

Burke: David Ruiz?

Vinicius: David Ruiz. To be honest, even his hair was so nice.

Miraitowa: Go back where you belong, invader!

Burke: NO! I don’t want to sit in a crowd of humans! I hate them! Literally!

Vinicius: Shut up Burke and enjoy your loss.

Burke: Me and my team never get the respect we deserve…

45th minute

Vinicius: And the referee blows for half-time!

All right, Mirai, I always wanted to do this…

Miraitowa: What are going to do?

Vinicius: I’m going do something that is never done on television…

Miraitowa: Not even Apple TV?

Vinicius: Not even Apple TV.

Ahem, Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s 45-year history… Oh, I mean 4 or 5 years’ history…

Miraitowa: Just like my human age!

Burke: HUMANS? THE OUTRAGE!

Vinicius: You get to view Atlanta United’s #1 fan in cheap television cameras… BURKE CAM!

Burke: BURKE CAM?

Miraitowa: BURKE CAM?

Vinicius: Burke Cam! Security, someone raided our commentary box, security!

Security: I’m sorry but Burke here has a strong aura. We must protect him at all costs.

Vinicius: AURA?!

Miraitowa: WHAT IS THIS? AN ANIME?!

Burke: If you invade my privacy again, I’ll round your houses.

Vinicius: FINE!

Miraitowa: An ability to protect itself from any harm? What was Ryo Taniguchi thinking?!

(Meanwhile in the stands)

Unrelated Atl Utd fan: Sorry guys, I’m late a year… WHERE’S CALEB WILEY?

Another unrelated Atl Utd fan: He left.

Unrelated Atl Utd fan: WHERE IS HE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN? No bro…

Vinicius: He’s off playing a least competitive league! That’s what happens if you’re in a coma for a year! Oh sorry Burke…

Miraitowa: Pfffffffffffffft…

Burke: Disrespect my pretend brother again and I’ll BREAK YOUR NECK!

Vinicius: Fine, gee… This job is more dangerous than being a volunteer at the 2020 Olympics!

Miraitowa: I felt that too…

Burke: Me too!

Vinicius: Shut up Burke!

Burke: FINE! And I’ll not return to the stands!

56th minute

Miraitowa: The ball is in Atlanta’s possession on the left, the question is, will he cross?

Vinicius: He crosses it in, HEADER! OH! THE GOALKEEPER LEFT VIOLATED! 1-1! GLORY GLORY AT. UNITED!

Burke: We do not live in a cave!

Miraitowa: Neither is Manchester United. Go and win a trophy.

Burke: We will by December!

Vinicius: Ha, you’re a funny guy.

57th minute

Vinicius: Here’s Miami’s chance to respond after that ruthless nutmeg! As ruthless as who-knows-what!

Miraitowa: Another chance to cross… Oh wait he didn’t.

Vinicius: He played safer than someone unwilling to see one’s following list. It’s pure chaos.

Burke: Speaking of, don’t even think of scattering into my followings or it’s the end of your life!

Vinicius: Try and hit me, I have protection…

Burke: WHAT protection?

Vinicius: Humans.

Miraitowa: Pffffffffft…

Burke: The disrespect!

Miraitowa: And the referee stopped play, looks like it’s a foul at the edge of the box.

Vinicius: It’s a set-piece by Inter Miami, Burke’s heart rate goes as high as 200 bpm!

Miraitowa: That’s as much as mine in the days before the games were postponed.

Vinicius: Pressure at Atlanta goes up by 10,000! It’s over 100,000 now!

Miraitowa: Campana shoots… BLOCKED!

[Two seconds of silence]

Vinicius: Correction: GOAL! The defense was left violated!

Burke: I give up… Designated players aren’t everything… We felt violated at home… VIOLATED!

Miraitowa: My American knockoff is sobbing for his life.

Vinicius: Let’s be honest here, is a regular season game here a big deal? At this point, he’ll be better off watching a Libertadores game against Fluminense.

Miraitowa: Fluminense, who are they?

Vinicius: Exactly.

64th minute

Vinicius: Here’s Atlanta’s chance to equalize, he’s free!

Miraitowa: Shoot! Shoot!

Vinicius: SAVED! He’s playing like one of the Dortmund players at the Champions League final.

Miraitowa: Another chance to equalize! Surely now!

Vinicius: CROSS! HEADER! SAVED! FORGET DORTMUND! THEY’RE AS BAD AS MAN CITY IN THE FA CUP FINAL!

(on the phone): Is there anything we could help with?

Burke: Yes… schedule me a therapy session tomorrow morning… I can’t take this anymore…

Drake Callender: You used to call me on my cellphone…

Vinicius: And Inter Miami’s GK is trying to live up to his name!

Miraitowa: Drake?

Vinicius: Drake.

Miraitowa: By the way, why don’t you live up to your name?

Vinicius: I tried making poetry.

Miraitowa: I meant Vinicius Jr.

Vinicius: Uhhh… I think you got the wrong Vinicius…

83rd minute

Miraitowa: 7 minutes until the end of regulation time…

Vinicius: And Burke having therapy! Here’s Inter Miami’s chance to cross…

Miraitowa: TO MESSI! HE VANISHED!

Vinicius: Where’s Messi?

Where’s Messi? Where’s Messi? Can you see him? Where’s Mes- Oh never mind.

Messi: Fooled you! I disappear only to piss all of you off! And now I’m going to finish this!

Miraitowa: Messi’s trying to piss the defense off!

Vinicius: SAVED! OPEN GOAL! BLOCKED! AND OUT TO THE OTHER SIDE WE GO!

Miraitowa: I’m watching a UR – Cristiano livestream, apparently Cristiano Ronaldo is laughing at him so hard that he almost had a heart attack.

Vinicius: Ha!

Burke: GUZAN’S ON FIRE, MESSI’S PROBABLY TERRIFIED!

Miraitowa: Not him again…

84th minute

Vinicius: It’s a last-effort attack from the hosts, can they equalize on Burke’s big day?

Miraitowa: Which is?

Vinicius: His first day on Earth, duh.

Miraitowa: Is he from another planet?

Vinicius: Probably.

Miraitowa: Well THAT explains his aura. Chance for the boys in red and black to cross…

Vinicius: Oh, oh, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLAZO!

Oh, I’m starting to taste blood…

Miraitowa: GOAL OF THE SEASON, DONE! RONALDO COULDN’T KICK IT THAT FAR! WEE MESSI PROBABLY SCORED FROM THAT!

Vinicius: (coughs) HERE’S YOUR DINNER, COMMISSIONER!

Miraitowa: QUICK! SOMEBODY CHECK ON BURKE! HE’S GOING BERSERK!

Vinicius: I’m losing my voice… Can you report it to me…

Miraitowa: Oh and Cristiano, his son, and Gio are going berserk as Messi’s team bottled their lead.

Vinicius: Just like… Arsenal this season… ha. (collapses)

Miraitowa: QUICK! CALL HIM AN AMBULANCE!

Burke: YOU’RE AN AMBULANCE!

86th minute

Miraitowa: QUICK! WHERE’S THE EMERGENCY SERVICES I NEEDED!

Burke: YOU’RE THE EMERGENCY SERVICE YOU NEEDED! THAT’S FOR DISRESPECTING MY TEAM FOR 101 MINUTES STRAIGHT! HALF-TIME INCLUDED!

Miraitowa: Messi’s trying to do what he did in 2007, and won’t pass until I wake Vini up… MISSED!

Burke: DEFENSE ON FIRE! MESSI’S PROBABLY TERRIFIED!

Miraitowa: Burke’s giving out chants to Messi!

Burke: (blows Vuvuzuela)

Miraitowa: Can you please-

Burke: (blows Vuvuzuela even harder)

Miraitowa: It’s not-

Burke: (blows Vuvuzuela as hard as possible)

96th minute

Burke: IT’S THE FINAL MINUTE OF EXTRA TIME! I MEAN REGULATION TIME! ATLANTA TO SCORE THE WINNER ON MY SPAWN DAY!

Miraitowa: Oh, thanks for doing the commentary on my behalf.

Burke: No problem! Jamal Thiare dribbling for his life, surely now! BLOCKED!

Miraitowa: Poor you…

Burke: Don’t worry, as long as Messi doesn’t score a goal, WE’LL METAPHORICALLY WIN!

Miraitowa: You do know it’s a tie game…

Burke: Yeah, and?

Miraitowa: …

Full-time

Burke: And the final whistle goes! Atlanta United 2, Inter Miami 2!

Miraitowa: CLEAR!

Vinicius: Holy Bela-Sol-Vida-hitting-Jeremy-Shada-on-his-head! What happened?

Miraitowa: Nothing actually, it’s a tie.

Vinicius: Well THAT is a waste of our time.

Burke: YIPPEE!

Miraitowa & Vinicius: What?

Burke: I did it! I’m going to become Atlanta United’s new club mascot!

Miraitowa & Vinicius: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Burke: And this is for disrespecting every other MLS team! (spits on both Mirai and Vini!) LATERS! (runs out of the commentary box) I’M NOT FREAKING HOMELESS! I’M NO- WHAT?! I WON’T HAVE A CONDO BECAUSE OF THIS?! I’M FREAKING HOMELESS!

Vinicius: Well there’s more interesting action in the commentary box than there are on the pitch.

Miraitowa: Good luck to Burke for being Atlanta United’s new club mascot, he’s going to need it.

Vinicius: And tune in this weekend for…

THE SIDEMASCOTS!

Sumi and I have assembled a team of the best mascots in the world to come together every whatever!

"Honda stood before a crew of roughly thirty men and issued an ultimatum. He was about to take a monumental career risk, and they must be willing to do the same. "He told them on the very first day, 'Read the script. If you are not convinced, please let me know immediately and leave the project,' " recalled Kimi Honda. "I remember him saying this very firmly. He only wanted those who had the absolute confidence to work with him on this film."

Godzilla first appeared in America in 1956 during a spate of popular science fiction and monster movies; but when the film was originally made in Japan two years earlier, it was an outlier, the first of its kind. This was a significant gamble for Toho Studios, with a production budget of approximately 60 million yen, three times that of the average Japanese feature, plus prints and advertising costs pushing the figure to about 100 million, or roughly $275,000. Skeptics said it was the stuff of B movies and predicted a flop, but Honda, Tanaka, and Tsuburaya were determined not to become a laughingstock. On a spring day in 1954, they sealed their commitment to each other while standing at the front gates of Toho. This movie, the men pledged, must depict the attack of a giant monster as if it were a real event, with the seriousness of a documentary. Never mind that the very idea was absurd. There would be no trace of humor, no self-conscious joking.

Honda said, "[If] our hearts were not in it 100 percent it would not have worked. We wanted [the monster] to possess the terrifying characteristics of an atomic bomb. This was our approach, without any reservations."

Added [Koji] Kajita: "We knew the critics had no respect for science fiction films. So we said, 'Let's play this completely straight.' That was our motto. At first, everyone was anxious and felt uneasy. Even the staff was worried, asking, 'What the heck is Godzilla?' But our attitude trickled down, and once we began filming everyone started to feel the potential."

Godzilla wasn't Honda's idea, and he wasn't Toho's first choice to direct it. Even the concept of Godzilla's baptism by an H-bomb preceded him. Honda took this premise and the basic trappings of a monster melodrama and produced a plea for sanity amid the madness of the nuclear arms race. Godzilla is his darkest work, a window into his fears.

In early 1954, producer Tomoyuki Tanaka was prepping In The Shadows of Glory, a big-budget drama to be directed by Senkichi Taniguchi, coproduced with Indonesian film company Perfini, and shot on location in Jakarta. This was to be a major product, the first Toho color production and an attempt to open markets for Japanese films in Southeast Asia; it would star Ryo Ikebe as a Japanese soldier and Yoshiko "Shirley" Yamaguchi as his half-Indonesian love interest in a story about Indonesia's postwar independence struggle. However, likely because of political tensions between Tokyo snd Jakarta, the Indonesians backed out and the project was cancelled on April 5, 1954, just before shooting was to start.

Suddenly, Tanaka needed a replacement project with blockbuster potential, or he'd lose face with studio chief Iwao Mori. In Tanaka's oft-repeated anecdote, the producer was flying home from Indonesia, "sweating" the situation, when he looked down at the sea below and wondered, so the story goes, what if a nuclear test in the Pacific awakened a giant monster from the depths?

Tanaka was a shrewd producer with a finger on the national pulse and an eye on movie trends. Japanese anxiety about the bomb had persisted since the war's end, thanks to atomic testing by the United States in the South Pacific and by the Soviets in Central Asia. Fears of nuclear fallout raining over the region were raised again during the Korean War (1950 - 53), and then a tragedy confirming Japan's paranoia grabbed headlines. On March 1, 1954, a tuna trawler ironically called Dai-go fukuryu maru (Lucky Dragon No. 5) sailed dangerously close to an American hydrogen bomb test at the Marshall Islands (formerly a Japanese territory, and still a prime fishing area for Japanese vessels) and was showered with radioactive fallout. When the contaminated boat and its sickened crew returned home, the Lucky Dragon incident created a "sense of emergency," recalls film historian Inuhiko Yomota, for "this was the third time that Japanese citizens had been killed and maimed from nuclear exposure." Fears of radioactive fish spurred a tuna boycott, and activists launched an antinuclear movement that was still in evidence following the 2011 Fukushima disaster, nearly sixty years later. Tanaka's new log line tied together these real-life postwar anxieties with a story line borrowed directly from Eugène Lourié's The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, which Warner Bros. had, just a few months earlier, purchased from independent producers for $450,000 and then released to great success in the United States. Beast, the story of a rampaging dinosaur revived by an atomic blast, had followed in the wake of RKO's 1952 international reissue of King Kong, which netted more money than all previous releases of that film combined; both Kong and Beast had cost their respective companies relatively little and earned a fortune. With monsters making the box office and nuclear fears making news, Tanaka'd new proposal was savvy, timely, and relevant."

- Ishiro Honda: A Life In Film, From Godzilla to Kurosawa, by Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski

The worst part of being an American kaiju fan is the waiting. With the exception of Crunchyroll’s Ultraman simulcasts (may they rest in peace), every new offering from Japan takes months or even years to wash up on our shores—and spoilers can strike at any moment. The latest, Kaiju Mono, took over two years to arrive in the States and saw its Blu-ray release by Section23 repeatedly delayed for two months. Fortunately, in this age of yearly Hollywood kaiju blockbusters, not many people cared, so I went into it virtually blind. (If you want the same experience, skip the fourth paragraph.) The trailer didn’t give away much, focusing on pro wrestlers Kota Ibushi and Minoru Suzuki fighting an ornate kaiju in briefs. The last Minoru Kawasaki movie to get an English-friendly release, Monster X Strikes Back: Attack the G8 Summit, caught a lot of flack for its lack of action. Local kyodai hero Take-Majin didn’t wake up until the end, while Guilala’s rampage across Japan used a remarkable amount of stock footage from the decades-old The X from Outer Space. Weak political satire filled the void. This time, Mono (Hiroyuki Taniguchi) melts tanks, terrorizes Shibuya, and takes on Ibushi and Suzuki in no less than three bouts. Kaiju fights have long featured wrestling moves, but having experienced wrestlers actually execute them is another thing entirely. Mono, constrained by suitmation, mostly gets by with electrified strikes and poison fog. It’s great fun. Does all this dynamic violence make for a better movie? Well, sort of. For the first forty minutes, Kaiju Mono is a fine throwback. Kawasaki packs in every stock character he can think of: the disgraced scientist (Ryu Manatsu), the scientist’s beautiful daughter (Miki Kawanishi), the naive lab assistant (Syuusuke Saito), the reporter (Kikurin), the military men (Bin Furuya and Eiichi Kikuchi), the mystic (Shinzo Hotta), the biologist (Takumi Tsutsui). There’s ominous pronouncements and nonsense science aplenty, plus composer Ryo Nakamura channeling Masaru Sato at his jazziest. Ibushi enters the picture when the scientist shanghais his lanky assistant into taking a dose of his greatest invention, Setupp X Cells. Forget making him a man in just seven days—this injection does it in seconds. With a blizzard of wrestling moves, he sends Mono packing and becomes an instant celebrity.
