I'll probably see it, but I'm not that much into that kind of toku. I prefer the kind with the hot guys in sparkly tight outfits.

To each his own, man. I didn't really expect you to, but I wouldn't be much of a fan if I didn't drop the good word for the big guy. :)

But this isn't merely a toku issue, it's about avenging the name of a franchise horribly, horribly scarred by Matthew Broderick.

Hopefully someone locks him up in a bunker through this, but the real damage came from Roland Emmerich. They already had a script by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio that was pretty good and was given the green light in 1994. Then, once Jan DeBont bowed out as director (which would've been awesome) over budget disputes, Roland came along. Not only did he throw out a script which had already been given the green light for his brainless filth, TriStar gave him more than double what DeBont requested!

Okay. Rant over.

The good news is Legendary Pictures has a pretty good track record of faithful adaptations. What with Dark Knight, 300, and I was told their Clash of the Titans remake was pretty good. Even Ebert gave the Clash remake a thumb's up, and he hates everything...

I hope this means Todd Tennant and James Stokoe finally get their Godzilla comic books published. (you'll have to be logged in to see them...)
