Been watching Japanese monster flicks all my life. Love 'em all, including the crummy one's.
I do wonder about a few things though:
Does the letter "X" hold some significance in Japanese culture? You have the aliens from Planet X in MONSTER ZERO, Gamera fought Monster X, there was the X From Outer Space, humans construct the Super X fighter to combat Godzilla in GODZILLA 1985, there is the new Monster X in GODZILLA: FINAL WARS. Is it just lazy screenwriting? Just wonderin'.
Why do characters in these films always repeat what has already been said? JAPANESE SCIENTIST: "I belive the radioactive drool found on the side of the Geisha house belongs to Godzilla." NEWSPAPERMAN: "whaa, huh...Godzilla?" A moment like this appears in almost every film. Are Japanese people hard of hearing? Just wonderin'.
Why are ALL the American "actors" in the recent Godzilla films so lousy? I mean, nobody can possibly be THAT bad and still land a acting gig. I honestly believe the AD goes out on the street and shanghai's the first round-eye tourist they see. These guys can't really be professional actors can they? Just wonderin'
