I'm in Colorado now, (have been for the last few days) and if there's one thing that means, it means that couch potato mode has been activated, as my family here and I show each other cool things, movies and tv shows, that we've seen recently and liked. It's also a chance for me to catch up on my pop-culture education without a younger sibling to worry about; thus, last night I showed people Godzilla, (2014) and they rebutted with Pacific Rim, and then we went in a completely

So earlier today, I made a comment on a video regarding the 2014 Godzilla movie, saying that at the time of it's release I really liked it, still do, but that I thought King of the Monsters was a massive improvement.
Somebody then replied to my comment, saying how despite his disagreements, he respects my opinion regardless of his own feelings on the movie, and is glad someone was able to find enjoyment in it.
I'm just kidding, here's what he actually wrote:
HAHAHAHAHA
[UPDATE 08/30/2019: I have re-reviewed this movie. You can find the link to it here.]
Hello, folks! I'm finally back with another movie review.
So just for a kick, I made a tier list of all the Godzilla films that I've seen in full so far. I tried to be objective, which is why the 1954 original is at the top, but I also factored in my personal enjoyment factor as well, which is why KOTM is in Great when I would have put it in Good if I hadn't factored in enjoyment.
[NOTE: This review is heavily laden with references to many details of Godzilla lore. As a courtesy to the uninitiated, I have put various links to places where you can get information on the subjects at hand. I highly recommend that you read them, as otherwise you'll have no clue what I'm rambling about.]
The gorilla warfare isn't even here yet and everyone's already going ape.....
badum-pish
Okay puns aside I was asked by a few people to talk about my thoughts on the upcoming King Kong movies and do I think we're being set up for a crossover between the first rate great ape and the big gray goliath, Godzilla.
After experimenting with Botnik's Predictive Word Keyboard, I have finally completed my bot-based take on Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Read on if you're looking for a (hopefully) good laugh.

And now for something a little different. This is going to be a long one, folks.
So this past weekend I went to see Godzilla Minus One. It’s the first movie I’ve gone to watch in four years. For those of you not even aware this was a thing, have a trailer:
I don’t remember when, exactly, I first discovered Godzilla. Just that I was a little kid, maybe about six or seven, when I first learned of the giant, spiny-backed dinosaur beast prone to smashing Tokyo and battling other giant monsters. I have a pretty good memory of my first Godzilla movie, though. I’m quite certain it was a movie from the 1960s – “Godzilla vs. Monster Zero” was the English title, though I’ve since learned that its original Japanese title is along the lines of “Giant Monster
I was going to title this post "Godzilla 1998: A Good Remake" but God hates click-bait titles.
Well, it's been a while since I've done...well...anything on this site. Pony-fatigue is still running strong and my mind is catching up from several years of immersing myself in almost nothing but MLP (from a personal entertainment perspective). But now I'm back, fresh from the theater with a review of Shin Godzilla.

I'm sure I'll get back to pony eventually...
Warning! Spoilers Ahead!
Happy Holidays to you, friends, ponies, and overall friendponies and fellow bronies one and all. Here's a little treat I've got for you, in honor of the latest Godzilla: King of the Monsters trailer, and something to reminisce over on this cold time of the year. What can I say? Giant monster films are sometimes the most entertaining films out there. Nyaheh.
