Facts and Details: Godzilla

I've posted about this website before (two years ago), but it merits a revisit.

Facts and Details.com has a special page set up on Godzilla. The title of it is somewhat odd, "GODZILLA: HER STORY, HER FILMS AND HOLLYWOOD'S TACKY REMAKE." It is rather curious about the "her" part of it, especially since the contents refer to Godzilla as "he" and "him."

The page goes through the history of Godzilla and the numerous incarnations of the character. The page includes links to various websites and resources for those who want to delve deeper.

They also devote much space to the movies (early and later ones), actors, the 1998 American debacle, the tokusatsu filming techniques, Godzilla Guidebook and Museum Exhibits and much more. The guidebook they focus on is my travel guide for kaiju fans, The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan and the space devoted to it is quite generous. Here, they include quotes from my 2010 interview with Tom Baker of The Daily Yomiuri.

The site was set up in 2009 by Jeffrey Hayes and updated in January 2013.
