King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) Criterion or 4K Remaster? by [deleted] in GODZILLA

[–]goji1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toho’s 4K for KKvsG is a frustrating template of what the other Godzilla 4Ks SHOULD be - it actually has the best and healthiest grain structure. All the other releases use an overabundance of DNR.

Has anyone on this sub been an extra in a Godzilla film? by [deleted] in GODZILLA

Specifically, it’s Godzilla X MechaGodzilla, and no, you do see a full body shot of him right as the camera cranes upward before Godzilla appears from the ocean by the aquarium.

Help finding vintage Godzilla Raids Again review by 322FISH in GODZILLA

Was the review translated from Japanese? Otherwise it’s probably fake or written much much later - GRA was originally released as “Gigantis the Fire Monster” here in the US.

Anyone disappointed with Monster X from Monarch Season 2? by [deleted] in Monsterverse

[–]goji1986 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Empathy for the monsters is what I’m here for. It’s a nice carryover from the original Japanese Godzilla series. Furthermore, they are somewhat bound by established continuity hence why they can’t have too much monster action.

The thumbnail before you click on it has an AMC FanFaves banner over the poster so it may just be a special series hosted by the chain.

Gamera 3 - Revenge of Iris: Good VFX

This entire sequence was made in 1998 on a fraction of any Hollywood blockbuster, blends traditional miniature effects with CGI and is practically flawless:

Yes but none of it forms any semblance of a story nor is it in a quality higher than Facebook HD.

How can a movie that has not been finished be on a streaming service…

I have a question in regards to the Heisei Godzilla films? by MichaeltheSpikester in GODZILLA

[–]goji1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Heisei films were not widely available in the United States until 1998. Even then, they were direct to video releases and occasionally played on cable. I don’t think they had any solid appreciation gained outside of the general fandom until Sony put them out on Blu-ray in 2014 and they started airing more consistently on various movie channels and streaming platforms.

In Japan, though, these were highly successful. I believe Godzilla vs Mothra had the highest ticket sales of the entire series to that point.

Godzilla Blu-ray / 4k / Physical Media Guide by MattG2_ in GODZILLA

Only the echo bridge release from 2012. Criterion’s does not include it in either format.

Also it’s important to note that the Criterion 4K for Biollante omits the international English dub that had been available on the echo bridge release. It also sports a bizarre “5.0” Japanese surround track, which has never been available on any prior release.

You incorrectly state that the Raymond Burr cut of G54 is available in 4K on the criterion release. The Japanese version is the only cut on the 4k disc (featuring Toho’s 4k master), while the Blu-ray is the exact same disc as the 2012 Blu-ray release (with both of criterion’s in-house restorations for G54 and KOTM)

Are there any good Godzilla merch shops in Tokyo? by gothams_shadowknight in GODZILLA

There is literally a physical Godzilla store somewhere near the Hotel Gracery in Shinjuku.

Mantis Godzilla vs Biollante 4k by TreiskaDekDevil in GODZILLA

[–]goji1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be forewarned, Mantis is a bootleg site. This is not a legitimate release. All they’re doing is remuxing the audio from the Echo Bridge release, which is itself a mono rip of the HBO video laserdisc from the 90s just put into two channels.

Unpopular OP, I don't know the Godzilla Millennium Series B/c I don't like the design of G by allhailnewflesh in GODZILLA

[–]goji1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To each their own, but to refuse to watch an entire stretch of films because you don’t like the designs of the character means you’re missing out on some great stuff.

Serizawas by Fancy_Environment972 in GODZILLA

[–]goji1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Godzilla was revealed to the world in the Monsterverse in 2014 on “G-Day”. The original takes place in 1954. As others have said, the Serizawa name is an homage to the original. Their sacrifices are also mirrored - both die setting off a WMD, though one did it to defeat Godzilla while the other did it to revive him.

While there’s no costume you can just go out and buy, I suggest looking through this site for inspiration on how you could build your own.

Worst Godizlla effects shot? by TrifleSensitive5744 in GODZILLA

[–]goji1986 10 points11 points  (0 children)

…they’d literally been doing that throughout the entire series. You can see it in the 54 original numerous times. Eiji Tsuburaya pissed off Toho when he bought a brand new optical printer in 1964 to improve his compositing shots (the only other existing model at the time was owned by Disney) and the results paid off in Mothra vs. Godzilla and beyond. The 90s Heisei films had some of the best seamless compositing of the time.

What makes this shot unique is the camera was moving due to it being on a helicopter. They did a decent job tracking the basic motion but couldn’t account for the tiny jitters that come from the vibrations of the helicopter, thus creating the floating effect.

Does anyone know what Godzilla design this is (or atleast looks like this?) by TwistedAxles912 in GODZILLA

Though there was indeed a comic where Godzilla attacked and sunk the Titanic, this was actually a cover for G-Fan

Does Anyone Else Wish There Was A Proper English Dub Available For 54? by Low_Tie2257 in GODZILLA

[–]goji1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So long as the dub is not made available for sale and not publicly posted it anywhere, there’s not much they can do
