Good to hear Patrick has a new book out, maybe it’s time to refresh ‘Cruising the anime city’, I’m sure there’s been a change or two… 😁 I loved Godzilla minus one. I want more but I really don’t know where they go with it and maintain the quality. OTOH I am an insane person that would dig a remake of Gorath. 🖖
To continue Matt’s unhappiness, the lack of the American presence really stood out to me. They tried to hand wave this with the whole “America is very concerned with the Soviets right now and don’t want to escalate tension…” and I was calling B.S. in my head. IIRC MacArthur had a deep love for Japan, but even if I have that wrong he could never ignore all the Americans who would have died in the Tokyo attacks. And how the hell did Japan have a functioning tank battalion, and some of the worst undergunned tanks ever made to boot. So yeah. There were aspects of the film that hit wrong. But I still loved it because it didn’t suck compared to Amerigoji films. So there. And Coca-Cola 4 LIFE you suckas! 😆
