1. They need to make those larger. That way, invading aliens that are just kind of invading on a lark
might see them and think better of it.

3. You might enjoy this animation piece:
Two parts, but worth watching. Made by an Italian CGI artist entirely in Autodesk Maya:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wfSHV4zYMw Part II

And yes, there's also a Japanese one at the end. Enjoy!

10. Too much "god" fixation, not enough imagination, and no sense of fun. nt

13. Please don't touch my bags, Mr. Customs Man.

The MST3K sendup of that film is funny as hell.

And as bad as Godzilla vs. Megalon is, at least it isn't All Monsters Attack!. Featuring Minya, proof positive that Mrs. Godzilla was banging Barney behind the Big G's back. I'm Surprised MST3K didn't get around to sending up that turkey.

14. That one is horrible
Horrible special effects, horrible fighting, horrible acting, Gigan just kind of shows up out of nowhere, Jet Jaguar is one of the dumbest names ever, Godzilla looks ridiculous, and the main evil monster is a big cockroach.

15. When Giant Robots say "Shop!", you WILL shop.
And avoid panic buying.

Edited on Mon Dec-21-09 08:05 PM by AsahinaKimi









Do you think if America put up Giant Robots in the USA the Fundies would scream "Its Satanic!!"
Okay now someone has to do a poll about Building Giant Robots in the USA!

17. This guy here in Alaska actually made one of his own too
Supposedly partially functional too, so it was more than just a statue.
