The only thing that could make me pay to see that Godzilla movie is if Nathalie Portman is giving out blowjobs.

Looks beyond awful.

Not enough underground sex club to rank that high 😎

I'm not being sarcastic...I will go see any Godzilla movie. I love giant lizards stomping on skyscrapers.

I'm with Dom. Godzilla trailer looks horrible but I will still see it in 3D IMAX on opening week because Godzilla. Plus ****ing Mothra and King Ghidorah, just take my money.

Shazam trailer actually looks fun? After all these terrible brooding superhero movies, maybe DC has learned to make fun snappy comic booky films like Marvel does.

I love Godzilla movies, too, I just wish I had more faith in Warner Brothers' ability to make one. When they can't speak proper Engrish in the trailer, it makes me wonder if they even care.

Maybe Toho can give them some pointers.

Godzilla* doesn't like all this inflammatory talk from you nonbelievers and you will pay:

*Godzilla movies are fantastic especially the early ones. Toho Rules. And the main rule is never let the plot get in the way of displaying a raging monster.

I loved watching the old Godzilla movies as a kid in the 60s, and I've continued to enjoy watching the old Toho movies. My favorite was always Mothra vs. Godzilla, and I've always been enamored with the little sacred Asian twins and their haunting mahara (?) song.

Although I've been disappointed every time that I've gone to one of the "new" Godzilla movies in the past 20 years, and I agree that that trailer completely sucks, since Mothra is in the movie, I'll definitely be going to see it.

And I'll probably be disappointed once again.

If you haven't already seen the trailer, I'd avoid watching it and go in cold turkey.

I liked Three Identical Strangers quite a bit. It's one of the better documentaries I've seen in a while in that it has a point of view, but doesn't beat you over the head with it.

I wrote it up, but it was nothing but spoilers, so tossed it. If you like documentaries it's well worth a watch.

The Godzilla movies and the enormous monster genre in general have never appealed to me. The first Pacific Rim movie was OK, but that's the closest I can think of as far as enormous monster movies that I've enjoyed. Definitely not any of the King Kongs.

Maybe the original The Blob.

Still willing to give Collosal a chance.

This is an an absolutely incredible story. There is not much interesting to the structure or direction of the documentary but the story is beyond belief. Don’t read anything or google it.

Well worth the watch.

Grade: B

Might go see this tonight based on your recommendation. I love a good documentary.

Agreed. But the Shazam trailer is as amazing as the Aquaman trailer is awful. I'll just say too that I thought the Man of Steel trailer was tremendous. I still consider it one of the best trailers I've ever seen. At this point, it's a fool me once, fool me twice scenario.

Like all of Lynn Ramsay's films, it left me cold and a little bewildered.

I'm watching The Philadelphia Story once again. It's perfect. Katharine Hepburn's facial expressions are a joy to watch.

I loved the recent American Godzilla (I don't get how anyone wouldn't if you're predisposed to the genre, fist-pump monster action with actual rooting interests and surprises imo) and it made me stoked for the sequel(s). Skull Island was okay. Unimpressed with this trailer but I'm seeing the movie in theaters unless I'm dead before then.

Rian Johnson had a tweet "give whoever dropped Clair de Lune on that trailer a Nobel prize": https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/stat...89341047635969 and like wtf dude, are you ****ing serious? (Yes I know he's being hyperbolic.)

EDIT: What I wrote last year; I forgot about the parts I disliked, such as anything with the humans:

The main attraction here clearly is the creature, and trying to give equal time to the same "human storylines" we've seen hundreds of times that have hit all these same beats is tiresome. Still, the creature stuff for me was so good that it overshadows that (literally).

I'd like to see a disaster movie like this where you *don't* do the "guy has to get back to his family" thing, where there's not the one smart mad scientist who nobody will listen to until it's too late, where the military isn't simultaneously idolized and treated with contempt. Contagion may be a good blueprint, though I know for a fact that many people would say exactly the opposite.

I'll be there for the sequel in 2 years, rooting for the MonsterVerse to work out. Skull Island next week.

Coherence

A dinner party veers into the surreal when a comet passes by

A pretty good sci fi flick. Low budget and mostly improvised.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer

After his father's death, a boy gets supernatural revenge on a heart surgeon who operated on his father

Bleh. Apparently the same writer/director of The Lobster that some people like and I haven't seen, this movie has the same stilted fake dialog and it annoyed me throughout the whole movie. Also the characters act in weird ways. By the end of it I didn't care enough.

No one's really interesting either, except for the boy causing the revenge.

Shin Godzilla was supposed to be a Dr. Strangelove-style political satire. The monster is in it for 10 or 15 min maybe and the point is to make fun of Japanese bureaucracy.

I loved Coherence. It's a film that greatly rewards you every time you rewatch it. You'll catch something new every time.

Jim Jarmusch's "Paterson" was awesome, though I fully understand that the movie isn't for everybody.

Adam Driver is a poet bus driver... what more do you need.

The end had me balling... and not because it is sad.

Since his inception, Godzilla has been intertwined with social issues relating to the eco system and the negative influence of the burgeoning Human influence brought on and aided by technology.

Regardless of how cheesy one may think the preview intro was, This trailer is exactly that.

I half expect to see the "Smog Monster"...

Zombeavers

Hot chicks in skimpy outfits, stupid (but funny) jokes, puppet zombie beavers, lots of gore, and even a girl who turns into a giant zombie beaver, with buck teeth and a flat tail and everything.

I like when the zombeavers cut down trees to block the roads and pop up through the floorboards of the cabin and have to be repelled with bats like a giant whack-a-mole game.

I recommend it!

It's a dam good movie.

Make sure you stay for the end credits - especially the song.

Zombeavers
Zombeavers

You hear your sweetheart scream
She tells you why, you don't believe her
She saw one in the bathroom
It's no lie, it's a Zombeaver
Contaminated by toxic goo
A random genetic mistake
They're semi-aquatic, they're hungry for you
Boys and girls stay away from the lake

Zombeavers
Zombeavers
Zombeavers
Zombeavers

A cheerful gang of college students
Think they're on vacation
Instead, they're dodging beaver chompers
And facing their damnation

Don't board up the doorways and windows, my friend
It won't do any good
These furry brown bastards are fully equipped
And they'll chew right through your wood
Say goodbye to your golden retriever

Zombeavers
Zombeavers

So brace yourself, you've never witnessed
Rodents quite like these
Oh, Jesus Christ, you can't escape
They've blocked the road with trees

Check your bodies for scratches, you can't be too careful
Their claws are a cause for concern
Yes, once you're infected
It's only a matter before you turn into

Zombeavers
(spoiler alert)
Zombeavers

Look out they're coming through the walls
Your girlfriend's chewing off your balls

Zombeavers
Zombeavers
Zombeavers
Zombeavers, baby
