Today Show used the Spectres version as background music, with a clip from the new movie, promo for weekend box office sales. From chorus to middle of solo.

That was a no-brainer on "Today's" part.

Watched the movie Saturday night on HBO streaming. Thought it was very entertaining and lots of good laughs during the fight sequences.

My friend's mobile was borrowed by his 8 year old son and texted me and two other music/film geeks and proclaimed "you guys, this is (name) we just saw Godzilla vs King Kong!! It's the best movie I have ever seen! Lots of monsters fighting! So cool! You guys need to go see it!". We have this ongoing 4-way text chain where we discuss deeply sports, music, film, etc. Then it get "hijacked" by an 8 year proclaiming his love of Godzilla. Just a reminder that sometimes we take ourselves a little too seriously and along comes an 8 year old to set you straight.  |

I invite forum reviews of the movie. I saw the last Godzilla movie in the theater, of course because Bear McCreary covered "Godzilla" for the closing credits. As a piece of cinema, I had reservations, although the CGI and action I thought were plenty decent. Haven't yet seen the current effort.
On paper, I can't imagine that much of a fight, what with Godzilla's heat breath, radioactivity and building crushing strength, and imperviousness to human's weapons of war.

Was good.The main character was Kong and they did him well(as they did in Kong Island).Nothing compares to the first bunch of Zillas(up until around The Smog monster) but I've been told some of the 90's Zilla(mecha,etc) were pretty good.The first one is a classic because it was as much a morality play as it was a monster movie).My fave gorilla of all time is Mighty Joe Young(Harryhausen was king).It was great meeting Terry Moore at a Chiller Theatre.

Classic Kong would probably fare better -vs- classic Godzilla's hot-smoke breath than the more recent Shin Godzilla's plasma beam.

Awesome. Might Joe Young rules. I'm the oldest of three brothers and when we'd play together, while my mom was at work, I'd put my toddler brother John on the turntable of my kiddie record player and sing "Beautiful Dreamer." That NYC nightclub depicted in the movie was, and remains, my idea of what a nightclub should be. When Might Joe Young was on "Million Dollar Movie," we'd watch it all week. The first awareness the young and future Buck had of being attracted to women was with Terry Moore in that movie. |

I haven't seen the film, but I imagine the first minute is taken up with Godzilla turning Kong inside out, and then the rest of the time is spent with him peeling vegetables, making a nice stock out of ape bones and generally preparing the rest of the ingredients for a Big Monkey Stew...

Im not going to say if you're wrong or if you're right; but you are incorrect. |

The first awareness the young and future Buck had of being attracted to women was with Terry Moore in that movie. Buck-we had to fight Howard Hughes for Moore.LOL.She was a sweet lady.Sat next to at Chiller Theatre, one of my fave character actors Joe Turkel of course later known as the Bartender in The Shining but worked for Kubrick in the 50's(Paths Of Glory).Was 90(correction-he's 94 now and still going so he was 73 then) but looked great and told me he was a Brooklyn boy. Yeah that nightclub had more smoke than air.B movie actor Nelson Paiva(who was also in the Creature From The Black Lagoon)was one of the drunk idiots who got Joe Young drunk.I watched it on Million Dollar Movie too.You'd get a kick out of my N.Y. tv guide collection(I have every N.Y. guide from the first Lucy's baby in '53 thru '70 and most of the 70's-they hold up until they got bigger and had glue instead of staples)one of the first things I'd check was what was on Million Dollar Movie every week. To me the Beautiful Dreamer scene is awesome.You know how kids want to grow up and be some hero I wanted to be Joe Young climbing up the tree and saving those kids at the orphanage. |
