They're Raving About "Godzilla Minus One"

Due to the snowstorms that hit New Mexico this week, I have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to see Godzilla Minus One in Albuquerque (that's the nearest town to me where it's being shown). 

However, those who have seen it are raving about it. I've a feeling that Toho is feeling great these days.

Here's a couple of typical examples:

"Holy shit. Godzilla Minus One is the best Godzilla movie I’ve ever seen. Godzilla is a huge dick in this movie, absolutely feral. He goes after individual people and his eyes are super creepy. It’s also a really rousing adventure and redemption story. Hard not to get choked up when they break out the original Godzilla theme music. It’s not just a great Godzilla movie—it’s a great movie." - Bill Breedlove.

"I can't say enough good things about this movie. I heard a friend call it the Gone With The Wind of Godzilla movies and I completely agree. It's getting stellar reviews as well which is not common for any kaiju movie. When the movie ended the entire theater was cheering or crying or both. Of course I'm biased because I'm a big fan but It's easily the best movie I've seen in the last 20 years. Period! The story was like no other Godzilla movie that's been made before it. My recommendation is to see it in IMAX while you can." - Dennis Reid.

 

My thanks to those who posted reviews without spoilers!

Get Well Brent Young!

Two years ago, I was headed into St. Louis, Missouri to go to the bank and to possibly meet up with Brent Young of "The Kaiju Bros."

Unfortunately, I didn't get to do either as Brent was at work and I had a mishap with a sharp-edged traffic island that tore up two tires on The Beast. But we did manage to have a good chat on the phone.

Earlier today, his daughter Tamara posted some alarming news on Brent:

Dear family and friends on Sunday the 26th my dad had a massive stroke caused by a blood clot in an artery in his brain, a couple of days later swelling started and had to have surgery to remove part of his skull to relieve pressure. He is still unconscious. PLEASE SEND HEALING ENERGY, POSITIVE VIBES, PRAYS to him and his family. I love you Dad!

I met Brent years ago at G-FEST and we have been in contact over the years. He is one of he nicest Godzilla fans around. Hopefully, your healing energy will get Brent on the road to recovery and be restored back to robust health.

I checked my archives and found the photo at top of Brent at G-FEST in 2008 with Don Frye.

Get well, Brent!
