Godzilla fucked off into the Bay which isn't quite to the sea but it's signaling that it's getting to be about that time

It's wild how effective "parent tells an obvious lie to protect their child from the cruel truth" is in movies like these

Okay I guess I can make this #MonsterdonBingo card work if that "Bridge Collapses". We *are* getting a lot of shots of it. And clearly we're going to have a "Moment of Sacrifice"

I'm joking but this is great drama, and the bridge collapsed! I think I will get my #MonsterdonBingo right at the end here. Only appropriate for the big guy.

What a great movie. This is by far the modern goji that I would say is closest to being my favorite if not for the power of the original's messaging (which cannot be defeated IMHO)
I was a little skeptical in the beginning but I really enjoyed the way it developed its characters, made Godzilla truly feel like a menacing threat, and had plenty of good drama connective tissue. And even stayed relatively faithful to the nuclear horror allegory, if not undercut it a fair bit with the militarism.
Have a nice week everybody!
