That was pure beauty. I didn't realize how many Godzilla movies there were.

"Godzilla: Final Wars" director Kitamura got a lot of things wrong, but he got at least one thing right: most Japanese fans hate the American Godzilla... and who can blame them? There's even a joke in the 2002 Japanese Godzilla film (a direct sequel to the 1954 original) where a Japanese military officer asks, "Didn't Godzilla attack New York a few years ago?" and another replies, "No, the Americans thought that was Godzilla, but it wasn't."

"Final Wars" had its problems, but it was great to see the real Godzilla deck Godzilla-In-Name-Only.

Definitely. If you have a multi-region player, go for it. You can probably get it from the Japanese Amazon site.

Some guy on eBay is offering a (U.S. compatible?) DVD of the film right now (as "Rebirth of Mothra 3"), but it doesn't look like it's a professional release.

Isn't that the truth...

I'm finally in the home stretch to complete a collection of all the classic Toho monsters in 1/150 scale, having pre-ordered Kaiju Freaks' gigantic 1964-style King Ghidorah resin kit.

Here's the Ghidorah, plus Image's Rodan kit in the background...


And I've finally got a line on in-scale resin kits of the Giant Condor and Giant Octopus, the final monsters I need to complete the set. But with Bowen Designs issuing so many must-have statues and busts, it ain't easy.

I'm still missing Minya, but that's a plus.

That is so cool!
