Why one official Godzilla counts to you and the other doesn't and why you use some flavor of the month buzzword? You also treat some more light-hearted Showa or Heisei movies the same way?
Monsterverse is a Toho creation with American backing. They're actual puppet masters at least when it comes to Godzilla stuff, which makes me worried that it may be the real reason why Godzilla is being diminished post KotM.
The memory stick is not as nice though unless you're one of those weirdos who just threw away all the packaging and kept the disks in a binder.

So you're buying it for display? Pffft I'd rather have a figure(pic related is my latest). I do have binders full of discs from the old days but the old days was me ripping dvds I got from netflix. I'm irredeemably piratical.

A good movie deserves a place on the shelf and I want the experience of opening up the case and starting the movie up on a real Blu-Ray player.

Those weird defects at the bottom of the screen are more annoying and it's weird more people don't talk about them.
>Now if only Criterion would give us a Heisei Era Blu-Ray collection.
Yes please. They should give us the Heisei + Millenium movies in one package.
They don't own all the distribution rights or they probably would. Last I heard, the rights to the Heisei era are all over the place from movie to movie.
I can't say for sure, but this seems to be the most logical explanation to me. The distribution rights for Showa era may not be exclusive or something. This is just my best guess, because people have always asked for a Heisei collection from any distributor and that's always the problem with it.
When can I expect to find a high quality torrent on a public tracker? At the very least I don't want it to be a camrip. Godzilla is the last thing that should be watched as a camrip.
>its fricking godzilla monster movie
The original Godzilla is a 10/10 kino so I'm not sure what you mean.
Sorry in advance if you're a zoomer and can't handle watching something that's both subtitled and black & white.
Before the movie came out I heard that it was set in an alternate universe where the US never dropped the nukes but Japan still surrendered but conditionally, creating a condition where no US troops were in Japan but the country was a pile of rubble with no outside assistance.
It would have more sense for the movie as it tries to present itself. With nearly all of Japan's military wiped out pre-nukes it would have also made sense why there was little resistance to Godzilla.
However I never saw anything in the movie to indicate this was the case and it seems to just be a fan theory as to why shit makes no sense
I will say one thing I remember seeing was that Godzilla was the reincarnation of the souls of the dead that died in the war, it fits with the GMK influence and the main characters arc and the salute they give Godzilla at the end but it was never established in the film so I'm not sure if I made that up in my head.
>why there was little resistance to Godzilla.
But we saw him go through at least 5 American ships in his path, including the warship that needed 'Salvaged'. There was a ton of resistance from the US, and some pretty heavy shit too, it just didn't work.
WE the audience saw that the US nuked Godzilla and then their ships were seemingly out in the middle of nowhere near a mindfield and the US blamed everything on "We didn't want to mess with the soviets despite us being completely able to wreck shit and we have nukes and they don't", so we can put together why the US was sending fully armed carriers out into the middle of nowhere and allowing a fully functional battleship to engage Godzilla POST WW2 just to make it clear this is a big ask but the main characters would have no way of seeing the behind the scenes. They couldn't see what was happening in the government or what was being discussed, they were the little guys just dealing with what they had and what knowledge the government would share.
Seeing as said government ordered everyone to stay mum with the thing headed right for their city, and they got wrecked for it, it doesn't leave a lot of questions as to why the US was gone from that place. They knew what happened. They made it, they tried to fight it, they tried to stop it, and it turned their ships into scrap. The last thing they would want is a US force getting decimated by it or to draw its attention their way, as far as they knew there's no way to stop it.
>The US wouldn't care if the Soviets got pissed off over fighting Godzilla
To be fair the US-Soviet stuff was done in Return of Godzilla too. That takes place a lot later though when the Soviets did have nukes.
>There were 800,000 US troops in Japan in 1947. They wouldn't just vanish if a giant monster was attacking Tokyo.
They absolutely would if the US nuked it, knew they nuked it, and then it carved a path through their ships. We saw those ships get torn apart onscreen, they tried to stop it and failed.
>The US wouldn't care if the Soviets got pissed off over fighting Godzilla,
Correct, they obviously cared more about "Holy shit we nuked it and it didn't die and then out battleships got battlefricked"
>If Godzilla was easily killed by a bomb to the mouth some B-29 carpet bombing would have easily killed him.
He took direct battleship cannon fire to the face and didn't die, as far as the US knows they threw everything that had at it and didn't scratch it. The MC lucked into figuring out inside his mouth is weaker. >No japanese fighter planes in WW2 ever had ejector seats nor was the technology widely available in 1947.
Except the one in the movie that's a real plane. >Also the girlfriend surviving at the end was a total cop out that defeated the main characters development via loophole.
His development was choosing to live and let go of the past for a better future. He got it.
What is your guys’ favorite song from the soundtrack?
I love Resolution and Hope a lot, something about the music in this gives me both a great sense of dread and inspiration in myself.

Why would you
Master piece of shit

Weird how this always happens?
Kino. Crazy we're getting two Godzilla movies back to back like this.
Legendary slop doesn't count to me. I'm just so happy Minus One exists because it's given me hope that the future won't just be hollyisraelite slop.

He's a weeb that hates everything his country produces, fairly common.

they're foreshadowing the mechani-kong reboot here
I have a theory that Donkey Kong was inspired by this design
It's remarkable how many times I've been able to say "It's never been a better time to be a Godzilla fan" over the last few years.
Now if only Criterion would give us a Heisei Era Blu-Ray collection.
>Now if only Criterion would give us a Heisei Era Blu-Ray collection.
Yes please. They should give us the Heisei + Millenium movies in one package.
That would be a fair deal because I think that would be closer to the number of films included in the Showa collection.
>Now if only Criterion would give us a Heisei Era Blu-Ray collection.
What's the point of owning physical media in current year? I have every movie on two HDs and a few memory sticks I probably have 5 backups lol.
Tangible ownership of your favorite films is a special thing.
You owning media on discs is exactly the same as me owning media on memory sticks.
The memory stick is not as nice though unless you're one of those weirdos who just threw away all the packaging and kept the disks in a binder.

Is the same not true of the Showa era's distribution rights?
I can't say for sure, but this seems to be the most logical explanation to me. The distribution rights for Showa era may not be exclusive or something. This is just my best guess, because people have always asked for a Heisei collection from any distributor and that's always the problem with it.
I'm fine with monsterverse becoming Showa tier moronic.
looks fricking moronic, they really should ban the US from touching Godzilla
I will be there day 1 but I'm expecting cringe every moment I have to endure watching a human "character"
Are any of the cast from the previous films in this one?
It's funny how Serizawa and Bryan Cranston were the only two likable human characters and they're both dead.
You're here forever.
I can only find the cam rip 🙁
Because it's not out on digital yet.
If the past is anything to go by it will be months before a quality digital release.
Godzilla Minus One deserves a best picture nomination. That would send waves through the industry.
When can I expect to find a high quality torrent on a public tracker? At the very least I don't want it to be a camrip. Godzilla is the last thing that should be watched as a camrip.
5-6 months after the japanese theatrical release would be a reasonable estimate.
That moment Godzilla showed up in the ocean after the nuclear bomb was dropped was the first time since forever in a monster movie I felt any tense.
This shit was unirionically one of the most boring movies I’ve ever seen
you dont
how can Hollywood compete
Context and explanation?
>how can Hollywood compete
>masterpiece
I get that 2023 sucked for movies, but this isn't a masterpiece. It's alright in a year of pure shit
Which Godzilla moves to watch with similar feelings to Minus One besides the first one and Shin Godzilla.
Godzilla 1984 perhaps? I quite liked that one.
>masterpiece
its fricking godzilla monster movie. its literal fricking garbage. being better than the shit disney puts out doesnt make it good.
>its fricking godzilla monster movie
The original Godzilla is a 10/10 kino so I'm not sure what you mean.
Sorry in advance if you're a zoomer and can't handle watching something that's both subtitled and black & white.
Minus One is just a Godzilla movie made with 70s Hollywood sensibilities. It's totally schlock still.
70s Hollywood was kino though.
How the frick is it schlock?
70s Hollywood was great, so that's a compliment.
>tfw already been to five screenings
Are they bringing the black & white version to US theaters? I might go see this again next week.
Movie is highly overrated, the plot makes no sense.
There were 800,000 US troops in Japan in 1947. They wouldn't just vanish if a giant monster was attacking Tokyo.
The US wouldn't care if the Soviets got pissed off over fighting Godzilla, not that they would anyway. Soviets didn't even have nukes in 1947.
If Godzilla was easily killed by a bomb to the mouth some B-29 carpet bombing would have easily killed him.
No japanese fighter planes in WW2 ever had ejector seats nor was the technology widely available in 1947.
Also the girlfriend surviving at the end was a total cop out that defeated the main characters development via loophole.

Based
Is that the one you came from?
This is set in a alternate universe.
an alternate universe where everyone is moronic and nothing makes sense?
Sure, still the best film of the year.

Also Pain has such a surreal sense of despair to it that perfectly encapsulates the environment of post-war Japan.
Hope and Pride for sure, Divine was perfect for when it was used and I loved being able to hear the classics on the big screen for the first time.
Pain just makes me think of that poor kid, brilliant acting on her part

How's the Godzilla Minus One Oscar campaign going? How many nominations can we get it?
>when everything is hopeless and the useless kid comes out of nowhere with an army of tugboats
Moment was so unrelentingly kino i started crying
I love how excited the Captain and the Doc are when he arrives
I didn't even think it was a masterpiece. It's just a solid movie, which show just how far standards have fallen in recent years.
