You will note Tristars 1998 so called Godzilla movie is not listed thats because it is not a movie about Godzilla. Anyway give some of these later Godzilla movies a try and let me know what you think.

I like Godzilla Vs. Megalon.

[Gojira]

Well Classic you may like Godzilla vs. Megalon but I bet you would love the Heisei Godzilla movies better and the Shinsei Godzilla movies. Heisei movieswere made from 1984-1995 and Shinsei movies were made from 1999-2004.

[ClassicHorror]

Yes I would, but that doesn't make a difference, I still like it.

[Gojira]

Well Classic there is a big diffrence between liking a movie and loving a movie. I am one of the biggest Godzilla fans around and I think the 70s Godzilla movies are pretty lame imo. The Godzilla movies that were made between 1984-1995 are pretty awesome seen Godzilla is twice his original hight and twice as powerful in those movies. Then you have this 3rd Godzilla series where Godzilla is 3 diffrent hights in the movies in 4 movies he is 55 meters tall in another movie he is 60 meters tall and in a 6th movie he is 100 meters tall. It is a shame that the Godzilla movies made from 1989-1995 were not seen in the USA otherwise I think movie goers would not think Godzilla movies stopped in 1985. At least the 1st Godzilla movie of the Millennium/Shinsei series Godzilla2000 was seen here in the USA and Godzilla Final Wars had its world premier in the USA in 2004 but no national release. I also find it amazing that to this day some movie goers think that Tristars 1998 so called Godzilla movie was a Godzilla movie. Godzilla is a mutated Dinosaur that has an atomic ray the Tristar 98 monster was not a Dinosaur it was a mutated Igunana that just invaded NYC and was killed by missles. Tristar leased the name Godzilla from Toho studios to title their movie. This fooled the public into thinking they were going to see a Godzilla movie. IMO this movie was like the Beast from 20.000 Fathoms in 1953 or the Giant Gilamonster 1959. I think fans should go see Godzilla Final Wars last years Godzilla movie. In it you see Tristars 1998 so called Godzilla fight Godzilla Godzilla kills the Tristar monster in a minute.

Do you have any idea of how incredibly weird it is to know as much as you do about one thing. I'm a ridiculously big Clint Eastwood fan, I know his birthday,where he was born,all the movies he worked on,I've got all his movies ect. ect. you know the normal obsessed fan stuff, but you are on a whole other level with Godzilla LOL.

[Gojira]

LOL hi Austin if you think I am bad try going to a Godzilla convention there you will meet 1500 people just like me a few even know more than me. I can relate on the Eastwood thing my dad was a big Clint Eastwood fan he took us to go see all of Clints movies and he was big James Bond 007 fan. It was a fair tradeoff I went to see his movies and he would take me to see horror movies.

(A "squid" is a rampant fan of something--someone who knows way more about a special topic than the avereage person is likely to. Quite often, squids love science fiction, horror, and fantasy entertainment.)

I think it's great that there's so much neat stuff for people to get into and learn about...for every genre there's subgenres and subgenres beyond those...and a squid or two for every one of these categories who knows the facts inside and out.

You know, before all these people were able to network and pool resources like they can now, lots of folks had memories of movies they couldn't identify and never would identify...you know, things they saw as a kid that really made an impression on them, but because they didn't know the title the films simply became vague and haunting memories.

Now, everyone knows so much, and everyone is communicating so much, that it's genuinely difficult to ask "What movie did I see when I was five??" without SOMEONE knowing what it was, or being able to figure out what it was with a little bit of research.

Like someone was talking about Gerry Anderson shows a while back, and noted that the puppet heads for the characters became more and more proportionately correct as time went on.

"Yeah, there's a reason why that was, too," I said, and then launched into explaining why. I happily realized that I, too, was a squid, just like all the other squids.

SQUID OUT! SQUIDS OF THE WORLD, UNTIE!
