Godzilla...

So after working 10+ hours yesterday, I grab something to munch on and sit in front of the TV, determined to tune everything out for a while. I didn’t exactly know how easy that was going to be.

When I turned the TV on, it was already on the cable station FX. I like that station; they have good shows sometimes, movies on once in a while. So I decided to just leave it on the channel for a while and see what it was.

It starts with Mathew Broderick talking in the same voice he has in every other movie looking at large eggs. Within a second, Hank Azaria is there looking at some of these huge eggs. Pretty soon I figure out that I’m watching the latest Godzilla remake from a few years ago.

It is truly a horrible movie. Basically, Godzilla has babies in Madison Square Garden and they have to blow it up to kill them all. Then they bomb Godzilla on the Brooklyn bridge. I didn’t want to know that much about it, but it was like a train wreck and I couldn’t stop watching it.

The girl in the movie is so incredibly girly. Somehow, these four people are 15 feet from Madison Square Garden when its blown up and somehow, none of them are injured, have a scratch or are remotely dirty. They spend a good 5 minutes running around Manhattan from Godzilla and there is not one other person anywhere to be seen or another car driving.

I like action movies. I even like the old original Godzilla movies, but isn’t there a point where it’s all just a little too unrealistic? Especially when Ferris is the big hero in destroying Godzilla.
