    Love the Godzilla binge watch. I tried to revisit all of them a couple of years ago but I think some of the lesser ones are better left as a nostalgic memory so I ended up skipping to the standouts. 

    I had started a marathon of the series from before King of the Monsters dropped and got halfway through before burning out completely ha. So I finally finished the Heisei era and the rest now finally! Plus since it had been a few years I revisited the older entries that I was hazy on and wanted to give another chance. 

    If curious, I got my full ranking here: https://boxd.it/fafj4

    Reviews slowly coming in.

     

    2012 era Emmerich has returned?

     

     

     

    Oh man Brad Jones now that's a trip down memory lane, I didn't realize he was still going. I've found his opinions (esp for schlocky stuff like this) lines up with mine pretty well so I'm hyped to find out what's really going on with the moon.

    They're still doing this dumb black and white gimmick?

    I generally agree with this sentiment (Logan, Mad Max, Parasite were dumb) buuuut this one even in colour was lit in a way that emulated a classic look and it could work really well, better even. I doubt this gets a theatrical release in Canada so hopefully it's on the disc at least.

  4. I’m hoping the show is like the x files for kaiju. Just following Monarch on different adventures, a literal monster of the week format. But the synopsis claims it’s about a family discovering the monsters or something lame like that.

     

    Glad to hear the next theatrical entry is still in development (presumably Son of Kong with Wingard directing). Hopefully we get some more movie announcements, fingers crossed for a Godzilla 3 or Mothra film.

    THE IRISHMAN - This isn't bad but I'm aghast at the incredibly high reviews it got.  And rarely do I say this, but it was too long...did this really need to be as long as Return of the King?  Also, was the CGI cream they put on DeNiro/Pacino's faces really distracting to anyone else?

    I honestly think it may be Marty's best film and the best of his gangster epics for me (it being thematically similar to Once Upon a Time in America helps). The CGI is distracting at first but I honestly forgot about it after the first few scenes, I got used to it. Him beating up the guy at the grocery store is still really bad though ha.

    DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE - Holy shit this was great.  With Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99, and now this, I think I'm now officially an S. Craig Zahler fan.  Looked him up and he doesn't seem to have anything else in the oven right now... I wonder if COVID scared him away from movies or something.

     

    LAMB - I feel this movie is too minimalist for such a bonkers premise.  Its eerie and unsettling in parts and it should've had more of that. 

    Dragged is his best imo, I think his producer/the production company he was with went under when one of the main guys got metoo'd which delayed things. He has a few projects and scripts of his in development but nothing concrete.

  7. At least we got one proper JL movie out of this but what a shitshow. Keaton is my guy, best Batman, best Batman movies but why wasn't he brought back for a Beyond film instead? And having him as a mentor figure with Batgirl as the lead Bat hero in the DC universe is just bizarre, seeing the Bat family on screen would've been much cooler. I get Affleck didn't wanna come back but just recast/soft reboot it. The continuity between these is already non existent so what's the harm.
