    I Am Back

    Hey everyone. I'm sorry for being so quiet these past few days, but Internet connections were pretty crappy at both the hotel and at the convention, so I figured I'd just save the big response for when I finally got home and unpacked.

    My First Convention

    I'd been meaning to put this up earlier, but well, better late than never.

    Tomorrow and through Sunday, I'll be out of town - my dad and I are going to a convention over in Beckley. Dad's going to be vending a table there to try and sell some books.

    Thoughts on Harakiri (1962)

    Wow. This was a masterclass in buildup and tension. I knew about Masaki Kobayashi's movie before - a scathing indictment of the samurai and the honor code that they profess to live by - but all the same, watching the movie had me hooked from start to finish. :scootangel:

    Thoughts on Galaxy Quest

    Finally getting around to writing up my thoughts on this one. I had heard plenty of good things about it from my parents, though I had yet to see it. Finally, we rung in the new year by watching "Galaxy Quest" with dinner.

Movie Review: Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019) · 10:56pm Jan 14th, 2020

Hello all. Finally, finally, finally got my full thoughts and feelings about this movie done and written up in full.

Now, like with my previous Godzilla movie review, the size of this review is pretty darn big, so I will be once again providing a link to the full review on my DeviantArt account if you wish to peruse it.

This is the link. Enjoy!

Whoever wishes to leave a comment about it, can either do so on this post, or if they have a DA account of their own, can leave one on the review over there. I'm chill either way.

I will say, in short, that I had a total blast with this movie, I thought it was a visual spectacle with fantastic monster design, characterization, and action. I also enjoyed a good couple of the human characters, even if some of them are mostly quirk over depth of character. I was most impressed by the film's villains, both human and giant monster, and I deeply hope that this movie's upcoming sequel Godzilla vs. Kong is a slam-dunk of a movie.

All hail the king.

Hail to the king, baby! :rainbowdetermined2:

This is not only the biggest Godzilla, fun fact, but the strongest. Only two things have ever killed him. Burning Mode, and the Oxygen Destroyer. He survived both in short succession, AND and vaporized King Ghidorah.

Good point. He took the two canonical things that killed prior incarnations, in pretty close succession, and managed to survive them both. Granted, he had some help (Serizawa and Mothra) but still, the point stands.

I just really had a blast with this movie. They just did such a great job with the kaiju in this one. I think this might be my personal favorite rendition of Ghidorah, and Rodan had some awesome material too.
