As they say on Fark, Hollywood now officially out of ideas: American studio plans Godzilla movie. But they said that about the previous remake, in 1998. Here it comes again, 14 years later - Warner Bros. / Legendary will make a new one for a 2012 release. Why? Because computer effects have gotten better, and audiences' attention spans have shrunk another 17%, so it will possible to make a movie with no plot whatsoever and only a small portion of Shia LaBoeuf.
I like the old Godzilla movies, but only for about 12 minutes. The crushing and the stomping and the fire-breathing - fun, for a while, when you're a kid or a stoner who suddenly decides to watch every Godzilla movie and write a book about it, man. Because it's like symbolic of stuff. Otherwise, really: this is silly stuff. Add the tiny jabbering twins and it's creepy, too:
In those days, limited munitions kept them from destroying the monsters, but now? You see one of these things coming out of the sea, a couple of daisy-cutters ought to to the trick: Godsushi all over the beach.
