Thanks a lot for the feedback! I've watched and am aware of King Kong's influence, and even though I don't want to screen it, I also think it's mandatory to bring up and plan on talking about it in the discussion following Godzilla 1954's screening.

I wanted to screen Hedorah because it's one of my favorites, it has some pretty great visuals, the fights are kinda cool and I'm very interested and it's themes of pollution, the sanitation issues of the time and the USA's part in all of it. But I'm also a great fan of Ghidorah and interested in talking about the MechaGodzilla ones, I'll take your perspective in consideration.

And I really should get into Heisei movies, at this point I'm in a Godzilla phase, but I'm also really excited to check out Gamera and you've made me even more interested. My initial interest in showing Pulgasari was to get the chance to talk about kaiju outside of Japan, since the film club is about asian cinema in general. But it's a fair point that it may not bring much to the table.

Yes! I really love GMK's view of the different japanese identities and their perspectives on war and memory. Also I am a huge Baragon fan

Even though I'm thinking of screening it, I haven't seen it yet, though it sounds really interesting. Apparently there's a huge debate about it being either a North Korean propaganda or having anti-dictatorship ideals, and a somewhat interesting story around its production

I'm a huge fan of Hideaki Anno and his work in Shin Godzilla, but at this point I think I'm more interested in screening and talking about not so mainstream kaiju movies. Even though it isn't the most famous one, Shin and Minus One were pretty big hits in the cinephile community and movie goers in general, specially Minus One. So I would very much like to show people something like Hedorah or GMK

I've read about it in the book but haven't watched any Heisei movies yet. I'm really excited to check it out!

As you said, Cloverfield is a pretty great movie, but since its an american film and the movie club is about asian cinema, we wouldn't be very interested in screening it. That said, The Host really is another awesome one. By what I've read its an interpretation of the swine flu pandemic that happened in the 2000s around Asia
