The fact that it's both made in B&W and takes place mostly at night helps hide the seams on most of the effects (although there's not much to do about the derpy look on Godzilla's puppet head). The model sets were quite well done, though.
Honestly, it reminds me a lot of Them!, another 1954 movie about atomic monsters wreaking havok, in that both take the subject as seriously as possible and take their sweet time revealing their creatures.
So who at Toho said "Hey, y'know this somber parable of a monster movie? We need to make a FRANCHISE out of this shit. We gotta make this kiddie-friendly! We gotta make this shit GOOFY!"
I'm just saying, that original movie is pretty far removed tonally from the likes of Godzilla vs. Megalon.
If I see this commercial whenever I pop in an anime DVD from the mid-00s, my mind is immediately put at ease.
There is an old guy down the aisle who keeps repeating his vague memories of seeing Godzilla: Final Wars, namely the scene at the end of Godzilla and his son walking away.
*anyone has heard of, d'oh
Back at Filmscene to see some old Japanese monster movie. Who knows if sny has heard of it.

They are, because those non-stereotypical cis women are also just as likely to tell the High Queen TERF that she can fuck off forever and let the mold consume her.
Totally off-topic, but did y'all the know the Free State of Florida's citrus industry is basically dead??
This is quite a story:

So @why.bsky.team is no longer mass blocking via this list, probably as a kneejerk reaction to realizing he doesn't know how his own (likely vibe-coded) feeds work. He is instead spending his morning manually blocking trans people and furries
here comes a good coder! here comes a good coder! here comes a good coder!
It's made even funnier by the fact that just before said ending, the movie already did a massive leap by jumping from the Victory tour in 1984 to Bad in 1988 with nothing in-between. So it does a huge time jump at the height of his career... and then just ends. 4 credited editors, BTW.
Hilariously, the movie has no ending whatsoever. Michael performs Bad at Wembley, and the movie cuts to a title card saying "His story continues..." I'm not kidding. Just crashes to a halt where a third act would be, that can't be legally shown.
Michael (2026): Jaafar Jackson gives an uncanny performance of his uncle Michael Jackson in this hagiography covering his rise to stardom as the most uncontentious way possible. Michael is portrayed near angelically, barely anyone else registers bar Colman Domingo's Joe, and turns into long concerts

"I grew up reading shōnen manga and didn't read much shōjo manga, so I felt there was potential in being able to draw for a shōnen magazine. I didn't want to miss my chance."
it's admittedly so funny to get screwed over by shitty AI code not doing what it's supposed to over and over and decide the people telling you to just stop using it are the real problem
My husband LOVES this movie. He convinced me to watch it by likening it to Beavis and Butthead, and the crazy thing is that as far as the tone and its low-key sense of humor is concerned, that description isn't far off!

Why could block the entire userbase of Bluesky, but he will NEVER escape this story as long as he lives.
When the devs pipe up
God, can you imagine the puriteen crowd reading Kaze Ki? They'd go into conniptions. They'd melt down like a nuclear power plant.
He can block all the people he likes, but he'll never escape the phone in the pool story.
"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"
yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up
[louder, as if that'll improve reception] THE BLUESKY DEVS WOULD BE VERY UPSET BY YOUR JOKES ABOUT VIBE CODING IF THEY COULD LOAD YOUR POSTS
The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.
At least when it comes to images, apparently.
