I know you all come here for 1977 stuff, and I’m getting to it, but a client’s email needed to be transferred from one server to another, and I had to use IMAP to transfer tens of thousands of emails from one host to another. Been pulling my hair out with that. But I did manage to get this done last Friday as I waited to see the new Godzilla.

My buds over at the “Underfold” wrote a nice review of the new “Godzilla” film and I love their comparison. Some fan-boys out there were complaining that the film lacked screen time for Godzilla. Although this was not an origin film, it did pay homage to the original from 1954 nicely. In short, that review compared “Godzilla” to the film “Twister” and it is a great comparison. Yes, the film is called “Twister” but it’s more about the human leads, and it’s the same with Godzilla. But, we’re paid off with a great big battle scene at the end of the film that more than makes up for any apparent lack of screen time for Godzilla himself. I for one was not disappointed with the big guy’s screen time, it felt balanced to me.

I saw the film twice, once on IMAX 3D and the second time on a normal screen. Never once did I get bored. The film is well paced, packs in some good story-telling along with nice character development while at the same time building to a nice climax with Godzilla at the center of that scene. It is worth the money and a very entertaining film. 

And that roar… still give me goose bumps, man!
