What's up #monsterdon our fedigroup got approved! Testing testing 123 @monsterdon
OMG you can still download the Godzilla roar .wav file from 1998 thanks to @internetarchive

I encourage everyone who signed up to #theforkiverse to migrate to a different instance as soon as possible, since everything I have read from the people running that place suggests to me that they believe calling it an "experiment" absolves them from all responsibility, and that they will dismiss well-meant advice from people with years of hard-earned moderation experience as hostility from "wet blankets". Dudes, hombres: you didn't make a server for your best buds. You're in charge of the social media experience of thousands of people now. And you're not even acting like you care.
Anywhoo, for new arrivals, check out the hashtags #caturday, #mastodogs, #bloomscrolling, #SilentSunday... and join us for Sunday night B-movies on #Monsterdon.

Root post for #Monsterdon , #Godzilla from 1998 today. I actually remember seeing this one in the theater for some reason. And I mean "I remember that I saw it in the theater," I don't remember much about what happens. Aside from Godzilla being in it.
And I'm going to guess that, at some point, a glass of liquid ripples ominously. That's just a guess, though.
I blanked this theme tune out of existence. Why was this used? Most of it is "uh huh yeah". Mandela effect says this should be deeper underground by Jamiroquai.

I thought she already got fired?
(Remember insurance cold-callers?)
And here's the sequel hook, which then became the animated series hook, I think?
Ah, here's a much more comprehensive coverage of the various 'how it was done' for the effects shots.

Anyway... Cloverfield? Cloverfield.
(I have a theory if Monsterdon ends up doing Cloverfield as to why it hits so much better.)
No Michael Myers comeback moment? Aww.
And for some #BTS...

This is a two-part segment from a documentary about the miniatures work on this film.

Wasn't The Lost World released after this?
Ohhhhh, that shot on the bridge is r o u g h. Even by 1998 standards.

This movie is so unrealistic. There is NO water this clear anywhere near Manhattan.

we might need to do a real Godzilla movie next week as a palate cleanser
