Man, that's really, really good. I love that so much. Ebert was the man.

Yeah, I really miss Ebert. The dude was easily my go to critic for everything I saw for years. Even on movies I disagreed with him on, he at least was able to articulate why he disliked a film in an entertaining way. His pans are some of the best things period I've ever read. There really isn't a critic like that for me know that I can really go to and trust. Ironically and kind of embarrassingly, I thought Devin Faraci would take up the mantle until he was revealed to be a certified creep.
Yeah, for me too, mostly. I do recall he and Siskel reviewing Aliens - both gave it a thumbs down. Their reasoning was that they felt the movie unnecessarily put a kid in mortal danger to extend the movie. Seemed like a really out-of-left-field complaint especially when considering that all of those characters were in mortal danger from the moment they set foot on the planet.

I just have to say, both of these trailers made me hard.

I am an absolute fanboy and have been since I was 6. I need these in my life.

I know absolutely zero about them, so that makes sense now.

(Pushes up nerd glasses to the bridge of nose)Typically, Godzilla, Rodman, and Mothra are all on the same side. Honestly, it doesn't matter, because even the Japanese early Showa films could never keep hero and villain monsters straight anyway.

Oh God, Dennis Rodman is in this? They must've thought his negotiation skills with Kim Jong would've translated.

Well, he's already been accused of being an alien so might as well!

The trailers make it look like Rodan is a bad guy, too. Flying over the city and leveling it, fighting the fighter jets, etc.

This is a crossover which should happen.

At its core, this is a remake of Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster.

I think it'll start off as G-Man vs rodan and mothra then gohidra (or w/e) will pop out and and they'll join forces to fight him/her.

Which is what happened in Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster.

Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster came out in 1964.

No one really needs to be up to speed on all those old Japanese movies; just know that there are a bunch of really big monsters stepping on things, breaking things, and fighting each other. Only this time with far better visual effects and none of that hilariously bad dubbing where someone says something but their lips are still moving after they've said what they said.

Totally didn't notice this until this morning. Dennis Rodman would definitely win.

New commercial, but same trailer that was released over a month ago, just FYI. It's basically just an ad to check out the trailer again.

I appreciate them taking these movies global for scale (e.g., San Fran (I think) in the last one, DC this, etc).

But do you wonder if the Japanese fans get a little upset their country is not getting curbstomped as well?

There's no way this movie doesn't spend significant time in Asia. That market is too huge even for a typical blockbuster, let alone a Kaiju film
