BTS’s comeback has been overshadowed by dating rumors, exposing the clash between K-pop’s obsessive superfan culture and the artists’ right to love freely as the industry expands globally. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/16/world/allowing-k-pop-stars-to-love/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #kpop #southkorea #bts #aespa #winkook #hybe #smentertainment #hyuna #tripleh #cube #kpopdemonhunters
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?

Anyway... Cloverfield? Cloverfield.
(I have a theory if Monsterdon ends up doing Cloverfield as to why it hits so much better.)
Wasn't The Lost World released after this?
Ohhhhh, that shot on the bridge is r o u g h. Even by 1998 standards.
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.
Okay. I gotta say this.
If web search serves me right...
...iguanas are generally herbivores. They like fruit and flowers.
And I can bet you that a couple of tons of assorted fruit and flowers would be way cheaper and have less mercury.
So, from some BTS featurettes I've seen, Godzilla was a combination of a few partial animatronics on bigature (big miniature) models, and some CG. I'm not sure what was in use for the underwater scene, but I'm going to say bigature?
