Happy Monday everyone, and welcome to
the first day of October. Like I said yesterday I am going to try and
make this month a themed month of all ghosts, goblins, monsters, and
other scary things done in a funny way. October is my favorite month
of the year, really kicking off the whole Fall thing as the weather
starts to get cooler, the leaves really start to change, and SyFy
channel does their thirty one days of Halloween, which is my all time
favorite holiday.
So I said I was going to cut back on
the dedications so as not to burn through them too fast. Well I was
going to need something else to do to replace them so that this
written part is not too short, and for this month I am going to talk
about the subject of cartoon.
Today's subject is the king of monster
.... Godzilla! I wish I could tell you that I remember what my first
Godzilla movie was, but the truth is I have no clue which one it was
that introduced me to the big G. I do remember the first one I saw on
the big screen, which was Godzilla 1985, or Godzilla Returns to us G
heads. Watching this giant radioactive fire breathing reptile
smashing a city as child really made a impression on me and started
the love of men in rubber suits play fighting and stepping on model
cities. The great thing about the Godzilla series of films, is that
they are not just fun cheesy movies about guys in rubber suits, there
are a few that are just very good movies. The original Japanese film
Gojira, is a classic movie that never seems to get the respect it
deserves. Gojira is a movie that deals with a tragic love triangle
and the weight of one man having to choosing between sharing his
weapon of mass destruction with the world, or hiding it from the
world in fear of what it could become. All of this is there while a
giant monster destroys the city killing millions. Godzilla has given
me alot of joy through the years.
Well that will do it for today people,
I will see you again on Wednesday for another fine edition of Not @
All, and hopefully another monster themed cartoon. So take care and
I'll see ya soon.
