Ten minutes now remain until . Either set up a hashtag filter, or be prepared to endure a loooooong series of corny jokes. It's a good time :D

I like that the acronym for tonight's movie is GMK. We're all on Greenwich Mean Kaiju :D

💡 TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS 💡

(where applicable)

Our country suffered a terrible attack.

BY GODZILLA

...Okay I've seen Godzilla since I first watched this movie and I am gonna take a bit of an exception to General Bitchass here

The military didn't save Japan from Godzilla, it was one pacifist scientist who killed himself to save your asses! The military mostly SUCKED and DIED

Satsuma sub. Waiting for the tangerine submersible.

"What's happening out there? What's that on the screen?"

...Bitch we're seeing the same thing you are, we don't know either

GODZILLA, MOTHRA, AND KING GHIDORA: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK

2:

THE SEARCH FOR A LONGER TITLE

"In the states there are many stories of witches"

Yeah, we can make a movie that'll have 'em pukin' in the aisles!

Last scene of the movie is just Godzilla standing in the corner of a basement.

Oh right, this is the Godzilla movie that hates children. Gotta have young punks.

Welp, so much for any survivors, huh

Movie's setting up some more children to squish.

Man, you know you fucked up if MOTHRA eats your ass.

"No I'm sorry"

A violent fight erupts over whose day was nicer!

"Godzilla... Will return!"

In CASINO ROYALE!

I know people are skeptical about using one monster to defeat another, but saving Japan by playing high-stakes Pokemon feels right to me.

Once again, we turn to the islands of bonin'

"I thought... The army killed Godzilla, right?"

NO

THEY DIDN'T

THAT WAS KIND OF A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE MOVIE IN FACT

>:(

Aaaaaalbatross. AAAAAALBATROSS

You think he comes with wafers?

"Stones can record history like a CD"

...What? No they can't. What???

Yeah, and maybe he made a light soul reduction to drizzle over the soul flank steaks he prepared earlier!

"The government has issued a Godzilla Warning for all prefectures, please keep an eye on the weather during the day, and keep your Godzilla radio with you at all times."

So, a Godzilla has been sighted, or conditions are right for a Godzilla to occur?

Cactuar Joe

Wow, so they're actually acknowledging that non-Japanese people died in WWII. Maybe this film isn't *that* nationalistic after all.

"Also Raymond Burr was there, it was horrifying!"

Small arms fire. That's adorable.

Look, just pick up Shinji and activate Unit 01, get a move on.

Here he is, the man himself!

I appreciate how vindictive Godzilla is in this movie. Like, he's a real heel here.

This scene with the mushroom cloud is really far more effective than the rest of the film it's in.

Like, that's not a scene that should be in a movie that spends *this much time* trying to convince people that monsters are being led to battle by vengeful souls trapped in rocks.

Ooooh, that's a callback to Godzilla's first appearance in the first movie :D

I like being able to catch stuff like this now :D

(though honestly I think it was more effective in the first film)

Godzilla like, "God damn it, I *hate* moles."

"I thought you said your dog doesn't bite."

"That is not my dog."

*Looney Tunes closing music plays*

"Hey miss, will we die?"

Well, I'm over twenty five, so *I* should be fine. You're a kid, tho, so you're probably boned.

Alright, who dropped the giant styrofoam packing peanut in the ocean -_-

I do love the bargain basement of the airwaves <3 Let's hear it for the losers :D

"I taught my men to be proud of what they did!"

They didn't do anything. A scientist who didn't trust your fucking military took Godzilla out with a superweapon *that he took to his grave to keep out of your hands*

@CactuarJoe having people a lot closer definitely makes it more impactful, yea

@CactuarJoe mentally temporarily lowering the knife i'm holding to this movie's metaphorical throat

@nev For the moment, yeah
