Is it out already?!!?!?!?

Is it out already?!!?!?!?

No. I saw it at a festival.

[Maxx]

Godzilla's pretty good.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Godzilla will be getting a sequel!!!!!

[Maxx]

The problem I have with that is that I can't see how they can bring him back without it just being a re-hash of this one.

[Monkey D. Lars]

They need to bring in either Mecha Godzilla or King Chidorah!

I saw The Lego Movie last night and holy crap it's a good bloody movie.

To follow on about The Lego Movie...

I didn't like the live action in the last ten minutes, felt like after 80 something minutes of just being a fun movie they shoehorned in a sales plug and it felt saccharine and sappy. But I'll let it have that for the sheer joy of the "OH NO! They were ready for that!" gag.

[Benjamin]

Really? I thought it was awesome.

My gripe with that scene isn't that it's trying to sell you toys (I don't actually see that) but it sure as hell is making it painfully obvious what the theme and subtext of the movie is. And I get why (making sure the message is received by the kids watching) but at the same time, it just took me completely out of the movie.

That said, the other 99% of the movie is tremendous.

In regards to a Godzilla sequel. There was something I saw in the movie that might have been a hint to the sequel. Or may have just been an Easter Egg.

So... spoilers possibly?

Did anyone else spot something interesting when Cranston and Johnson were in Cranston's old house in Japan? There was what was seemingly a fish tank of sorts in the foreground of a shot where they kept moths, I guess to study them. There was a sign under it that read "moth". But then there was another sign that must've fallen next to it thanks to the earthquakes that simply read "ra".

So yeah. Possible sequel hint?

I know people haven't seen X-men yet but if you had to choose either Godzilla or X-men which would you choose? We are leaning toward X-Men but I mean if Godzilla was this amazing must see thing I'd like to know

[Benjamin]

Watch both, Srar. That's what I plan to do, watch Godzilla tomorrow and X-Men on Friday. I really can't wait!

[Your Mom]

I would love to watch both but we have to hire someone to watch the kids every time we do this so it costs a lot. Unless we saw them both on the same day I guess. That might be a bit much though

[Benjamin]

Hmm. Is X-Men not rated G, though? Maybe you could take your kids to watch that?

EDIT: Oh, sorry, just checked, it's PG-13.

X-Men, definitely. Godzilla is pretty good, but X-Men is apparently the first X-Men film since X2 to really nail the feel of one of these films.

[GoGo Yubari]

I've seen Godzilla, haven't seen X-Men. Of the two, I'd say probably take the chance on X-Men.
