Cloverfield monster vs Godzilla

[Bullet Magnet]

I can enjoy a movie while I'm there like any other. Afterwards, I can tear it apart on a scientific basis. If the writing, directing or acting is so poor that it cannot distract me from these issues, then it's not going to be enjoyed by most people anyway. If the sicence is so insultingly poor that it swamps the entire experience, then it deserved whatever it can get. In the case of The Core, it was a blessing in disguise since is distracted everyone from the terrible writing.

You haven't lived until you've seen The Core with a group of geologists.

[OANST]

I may never live.

[Hobo]

I hope I don't ever live.

Can you please give us an in depth look as to why it as so retarded?

Fuck you, asshole.

[Bullet Magnet]

Saved, once again, by professional physicists.

[Mac Sirloin]

Fuck you, asshole.

I didn't mind it as an adventure movie, but as I recollect it had the scientific footing of a turd made out of nipples.

.... Dudes .... Godzilla's a fictional film. Physics or "reality" is worth sh** in fiction.

Anyhow, while I appreciate Cloverfield more, Godzilla takes my vote. Godzilla could handle missiles, nukes, hordes & hordes & hordes of monsters, and was originally going to fight Satan in a cancelled flick. Godzilla has whipped out some Matrix-styled moves on Super-Sayan Aliens, Kangaroo kicked an Alien Monster in the crotch multiple times, and--GodzillaDammit--Crushed Bambi into oblivion.

I don't think Cloverfield can compare to a crazy ass Dinosaur like that.

The problem with comparing two giant beats with questionable science behind them is that in each of their franchises, sometimes between films (or in films!) of the same franchise, they have different physics that apparently make the whole thing possible. It was ridiculous back in the fifties, but even worse now since film-makers obviously make an attempt at realism, but they do this by discussing an interesting few points (often by having a scientist character shoot down an infeasible idea from another character) while completely ignoring all the rest. It's anyone's guess as to whether this is a better, worse or more infuriating situation than before, but it causes problems in versus comparisons when considering two monsters meeting each other, when the lack of science of one would give it an unfair advantage, while the "science" of the other would cause the immediate death of his opponent from natural causes.

Either let them each subsist on their own unique movie physics, in which one therefore wins before any real contest needs to occur, or establish some sort of consistency, in which both are quickly reduced to a bloody pulp of their own accord.

The entire exercise, and all its possible solutions, are more futile than usual.

..... Godzilla is so awesome, he literally kicked his own ass in Godzilla: Final Wars ......

I will keep this up all day, to the point at which not even I am amused.

How would you feel about Galaxy-sized robots fighting on top of the Milky Way?

Not what I meant. I've never seen the movie.

Possibly something along the lines of how one might feel about humans fighting on top of a human.

But, you know, more big.

[Bullet Magnet]

It makes about as much sense as ninjas fighting on top of dandelions seeds suspended in the wind. Less sense, actually.

I would see that movie.

[Bullet Magnet]

It would be a screaming good time. And utterly nonsensical.

I bet you're a riot at parties.

[Bullet Magnet]

I am not forced to suffer parties.

What do you mean, then?

[OANST]

What do you mean, then?

I meant, fuck you for trying to draw BM into a seven paragraph description of the failed science of another film. And I meant it. Fuck you.
