    Oh, I disagree. "So, you're a little Breaking Bad fanboy? Psych!" That might have been the best part of the movie. That was up there with Angie Dickinson in Dressed To Kill.

      So you are all for ripping people off if they are people you dont like? Interesting...

      For the record it wasnt that big of a deal but it wasnt needed. I doubt anyone saw the film ONLY because of him and I guarantee it only happened because he wanted nothing to do with the film and got back end points or something out of it. (and no I dont care what he said publicly he is full of it) The annoying part was he could have been useful in the film past when he died. Just pay him an extra million and kill him off at the end it wasnt like he was doing this for artistic reasons or anything. Or just not hire him and put in [random older actor looking to revitalize his career] and be done with it.

      Personally I hope in this film they kill Milly Bobby Brown early because, well, I really dont much like her as an actress

        We can't have kids in disaster movies - especially if they have to be saved - because if any of these disasters actually effing happened in real life no children would ever be in peril.

          If you feel ripped off because a particular actor isn't in a movie the way you thought he was that's on you. The merit of a movie derives from:

            There is only one Godzilla and Raymond Burr was part of the cast.

            The rest are soulless imitations.

              I always wondered: was he in the cast or did somebody (gotta be American International, right?) buy the Japanese print and then shoot a bunch of scenes with him and stick them on for the US audience? As I recall there are 2 different plots and the characters rarely or even never interact. It's like Genesis.

                Also, the one with the two chick twins is great, and the one with the monster with the letter opener head is great (they may be the same one). And the pollution one is pretty good (actually that might be the one with the twins).

                Now I think of it, Letter Opener Head might be Gamera.

                  You got it in one.

                  However the best "insert plot into Japanese movie" movie goes to "What's Up Tiger Lily".

                    Put me in the "I enjoyed this" Camp for the latest itteration of Godzilla....

                    Hell, this is the only non-Disney franchise of the past 10 years that hasn't crashed and burned in the "We NEED to make a cinematic universe" phase (i.e. Dark Universe, DC, Transformers, etc.). Looking forward to the movie in 3 weeks to see where it goes. I want a popcorn movie here and the 2 previous installments delivered that...

                      Hey, I was mildly disappointed with Jon Hamm's basically pointless character and dropped plot thread in El Royale, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the rest of the flick.

                        I took in Hamm's perfomance as comedic relief, which it kinda was. He really is trying to break out of his Mad Men character (also see: Baby Driver).

                              Yeah, I found it this morning. Thanks. For some reason, I thought the thread was newer than that.

                                I intend to watch everything on the AFI 100 at some point. I've seen at least 46 of them already (from the 1998 and 2007 lists; out of 123) and like most of those I've seen. I didn't like 2001 or Clockwork. I didn't like Rocky when I first saw it, but it's been a very long time since then. Deer Hunter was just ok, but you gave me some "tips" for when I rewatch it.



                                Yes, I know these are only american films, but whatever. Gotta start somewhere. I'm sure BFI has one and there might even be one for global pictures. According to Wikipedia, Roger Ebert considers Sight & Sound's rankings the best: "by far the most respected of the countless polls of great movies—the only one most serious movie people take seriously." So I'll probably get around to that as well. Only seen 8 of the 50 on the 2012 list.
