    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/350805 Has anyone pulled the trigger on these Brickyrobo things? They're supposedly like Missing Link for Machine Robo/Gobots. Which would be right up my alley, but the price tag is OUCH! So I was wondering what they feel like in-hand and...

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    In Godzilla movies, the military runs from Godzilla. In G'98, the monster runs from the military. Just ain't right... Also, the French slagging on America is a bit grating...

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    King Kong '33 may not be 'art house', but it is certainly genre-defining. It at least deserves a spot along with Godzilla '54 and Minus One as an iconic film. Godzilla '98 (Ferris Zilla's Day Off, Jurassic Central Park, GINO/Godzilla In Name Only, ), I've said this before, but it seems like it...

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    This is a fairly accurate assessment of the Monsterverse. (And to be honest, the Godzilla films of the 60s and 70s that i love were largely popcorn flicks as well...)

    Godzilla King of the Monsters will course-correct on the music front, for sure. Unfortunately, the movies after don't have quite the same musical punch.

    That's the correct order. Kong Skull Island is set in-universe before most of Godzilla 14, but if I recall correctly, it makes references that make more sense if you've seen Godzilla first.

    Additionally, if you really like one of the movies enough to rewatch it, you could hunt down a Blu Ray or 4K version. If not, you've only paid $5 per movie.

    There's some callback to Godzilla 2014, but I think you could probably watch King of the Monsters on its own, as the critical lore does get a bit of a rehash at the beginning.

    Godzilla King of the Monsters It's from the Legendary "Monsterverse" series. Starts with Godzilla (2014), Kong Skull Island, Godzilla King of the Monsters, Godzila vs Kong 1&2, and the Monarch miniseries is in there somewhere.

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    Right, wrong, or otherwise, I have always assumed that the endless meetings and bureaucracy in Shin was intentional satire, perhaps in part as a response to the Japanese government's handling of the Fukushima disaster, among other things. It was a fun experience to see it in a theater among...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    While we're on the tangent, instead of the "Grungy" Renegade redeco, it would be neat if Hasbro could somehow finagle the unproduced Nemesis Power Warrior from Bruticus. Blast Off could be Fitor, Swindle for Geeper Creeper, probably Tank from Brawl, and I guess Coptor from Vortex. (Or maybe...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I love this idea! The frame system would emulate the mechanism of the original Power Suits quite servicably. I think if you want the end result to be Courageous, then Silverbolt would necessarily have to be the Power Jet. I almost feel like they could reference The Last Engineer in the base...

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    Just finished enjoying the Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestra Hollydaze concert. Haywire3 got to be in the children's choir, and he sang his little heart out. Not sure he will do it again, but he did it once and did it well, and that makes this dad proud!
