Okay, everybody hit the showers, you've earned it tonight. One last button to press on your way out folks,
Was GODZILLA (1998) the WORST #MONSTERDON movie of the year?
@CactuarJoe Of the year, _absolutely_ yes.

@CactuarJoe i'm voting this as the worst in the hopes that it will be.

In any case, two and a half hours of Matthew Broderick is a goddamn war crime. #Monsterdon

Then again, it is only the second Monsterdon movie this year. -

The thing about Godzilla (1998) is that it was bad in a way #Monsterdon movies usually aren't.
Usually when a Monsterdon movie is bad, it's because they didn't have the budget to pull it off, or their concept was just weird, or their technical or artistic skills just weren't up to it.
Godzilla (1998) had all those things in spades and more, but it still sucked. Because it was just *bland as shit.*
When a Monsterdon movie is bad, it's usually bad in an INTERESTING way. The tricks to doing something on a low budget are neat, or the weirdness of the concept is compelling, things like that.
Godzilla (1998)'s only passion was in tallying up how much branded ice cream they could sell if they added in ANOTHER scene that reminded people of Jurassic Park.
How compelling

@CactuarJoe On top of that, they horrifically killed a one of a kind creature then celebrated.

@kshernandez YEAH, that was the other thing, too! Complete disrespect for what Godzilla's actually *about*!
Like, we all enjoy a giant monster destroying a city but there's another layer, where Godzilla is a metaphor for human technological hubris, and these chucklefucks had it die TO MILITARY TECHNOLOGY #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @kshernandez "no no you see this Godzilla came about because of foreign militarism, which is bad, and the day was saved by american militarism, which is good (and also more potent)" - the Godzilla understanders who created GODZILLA (1998)

@SnoopJ @CactuarJoe @kshernandez imagine having the bad guys as the French like we were still in the 19th Century.
Hollywood was clutching at straws for baddies once the Soviet Union collapsed.....
