About GODZILLA About GODZILLA | What is GODZILLA? “Godzilla” began as a Jurassic creature evolving from sea reptile to terrestrial beast, awakened by mankind’s thermonuclear tests in the inaugural film. Over time, the franchise itself has evolved, as Godzilla and other creatures appearing in Godzilla films have become a metaphor for social commentary in the real world. The characters are no longer mere entertainment icons but embody emotions and social problems of the times. 2018 © TOHO CO., LTD. All rights reserved/ Confidential & Proprietary 4 About GODZILLA | Filmography Reigning the Kaiju realm for over half a century and prevailing strong --- With its inception in 1954, the GODZILLA movie franchise has brought more than 30 live-action feature films to the world and continues to inspire filmmakers and creators alike. Ishiro Honda’s “GODZILLA”81954), a classic monster movie that is widely regarded as a masterpiece in film, launched a character franchise that expanded over 50 years with 29 titles in total. Warner Bros. and Legendary in 2014 had reintroduced the GODZILLA character to global audience. It contributed to add millennials to GODZILLA fan base as well as regained attention from generations who were familiar with original series. In 2017, the character has made a transition into new media- animated feature. TOHO is producing an animated trilogy to be streamed in over 190 countries on NETFLIX. 2018 © TOHO CO., LTD.

  • You're Listening to Imaginary Worlds, a Show About How We Create Them
    1 You’re listening to Imaginary Worlds, a show about how we create them and why we suspend our disbelief. I’m Eric Molinsky. When I was a kid, I used to watch something called the Creature Double Feature on Channel 56 every weekend afternoon. They were black and white monster movies from the ‘50s. The funny thing is, I didn’t really like them, but there was nothing else to watch in those days. The ones that used to freak me out the most were the movies about giant insects like “Them.” CLIP: THEM Usually on this show, I delve into genres that mean a lot to me. But I’m equally fascinated by the stuff that other people obsessed over. It adds another layer of mystery for me – like what is the cult following about? And in this case, I’m not talking about giant insects or the 50-foot woman or King Kong. There’s only one monster that matters. CLIP: GODZILLA DS: It was on Ch. 9, which is a local station in NY tri-state area, and my brother had been watching it, as with all things because I looked up to him, I started watching it, and it was like a real living dinosaur, which I also loved because I was 4 by the way who could shoot fire, I’m 43 and my feelings are still strong about this, who shot fire and destroy cities it was the best thing of all time. That’s my friend Dave Serchuck, who’s a journalist in Louisville.

  • Favorite Artists in Today's Music Wrld
    May 15, 2020 Created by (doja cat & lil uzi vert) (bruno mars & eminem) (taylor swift & rihanna) Dadaism On each of our pages, you will find a “guess the song” section. This was inspired by the Cut-Up technique, an aleatory literary technique where a written text is cut up word-by-word and then completely rearranged, resulting in a new text. This technique can be traced back to the Dadaists in the 1920s, a group of avant-garde artists located primarily in Europe. Since then, the Cut-Up technique has been used in a variety of other contexts. On our pages, we have taken a popular song from each artist, then used the Dadaist cut-up technique to scramble the lyrics and create a new text. We chose to do this to pay homage to and remind us of the avant-garde artists and the history of avant-garde zines. So, if you would like, take a shot at guessing the songs. The answers are found on the final page. We hope you enjoy our little game and, in the process, are reminded of how all zines began.

Doesn't Fulfull PotentialBy Le Night Dominator"Godzilla: History's Greatest Monster" was originally published as "Godzilla" for 13 issues. This paperback volume contains all of them, and in full color (unlike the Dark Horse and Marvel Godzilla reprints). If you're a fan of the franchise and want to get into the comics, I recommend that you start elsewhere. I'm not a frequent reader of comic books, but I'll try my best to provide an insight on why this particular series didn't exactly hit the mark.First of all, the characters are largely uninteresting. We follow a group of bounty hunters as they attempt to take down Godzilla's massive friends and foes for billions of dollars. Illegally, I might add. This sounds like a fun idea on paper, but let's get down to the actual people themselves: The protagonist is a man named Boxer, who loses two young children to Godzilla and wants revenge and has a ex-wife as part of his team.

From the atomic allegory of Godzilla and the beguiling charms of Mothra to the tragic mystery of Matango and the disaster and spectacle of Rodan, The Mysterians, King Kong vs. Godzilla, and many others, Honda’s films reflected postwar Japan’s real-life anxieties and incorporated fantastical special effects, a formula that appealed to audiences around the globe and created a popular culture phenomenon that spans generations. Now, in the first full account of this long overlooked director’s life and career, authors Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski shed new light on Honda’s work and the experiences that shaped it—including his days as a reluctant Japanese soldier, witnessing the aftermath of Hiroshima, and his lifelong friendship with Akira Kurosawa. Ishiro Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa features close analysis of Honda’s films (including, for the first time, his rarely seen dramas, comedies, and war films) and draws on previously untapped documents and interviews to explore how creative, economic, and industrial factors impacted his career.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, Oct 26—Nov 1 Highlighting 10 Tales of Rampaging Beasts and Supernatural Terror
    BAMcinématek presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, Oct 26—Nov 1 Highlighting 10 tales of rampaging beasts and supernatural terror September 21, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, October 26 through Thursday, November 1 BAMcinématek presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, a series of 10 films showcasing two strands of Japanese horror films that developed after World War II: kaiju monster movies and beautifully stylized ghost stories from Japanese folklore. The series includes three classic kaiju films by director Ishirô Honda, beginning with the granddaddy of all nuclear warfare anxiety films, the original Godzilla (1954—Oct 26). The kaiju creature features continue with Mothra (1961—Oct 27), a psychedelic tale of a gigantic prehistoric and long dormant moth larvae that is inadvertently awakened by island explorers seeking to exploit the irradiated island’s resources and native population. Destroy All Monsters (1968—Nov 1) is the all-star edition of kaiju films, bringing together Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah, as the giants stomp across the globe ending with an epic battle at Mt. Fuji. Also featured in Ghosts and Monsters is Hajime Satô’s Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell (1968—Oct 27), an apocalyptic blend of sci-fi grotesquerie and Vietnam-era social commentary in which one disaster after another befalls the film’s characters. First, they survive a plane crash only to then be attacked by blob-like alien creatures that leave the survivors thirsty for blood. In Nobuo Nakagawa’s Jigoku (1960—Oct 28) a man is sent to the bowels of hell after fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run that kills a yakuza.
