Friend's post on Facebook about this vid: "No Mothra, a new foe. Some say that looked like Rodan, but it's not him either. They're saying that there is no other Toho monsters in the film. They're calling these creatures MUTOs, though that's probably an acronym for the secret program that created them. Unless this is a huge misdirection, Godzilla is the only classic monster in the film."

Whenever Godzilla got the upper hand while destroying Tokyo, Gamera, guardian of the universe, would always seem to fly in to the rescue. I expect no less in the new movie.

And if they are going to have a movie, bring all the fire-breathing saber-toothed Chernobyl-deformed flying reptiles and giant insects into a blockbuster movie like having Stallone, Bruce Willis, Schwarzenegger, Statham, Van Damme, and Ving Rhames all in the same movie.

But wasn't Mothra's cave creepy? It scared the crap out of me when I was little. Larvae.

I am not sure I like Godzilla's birdlike head - it's quite small compared to his body and looks as if he has a beak. I can't help having a soft spot for Gojira's rounded features and large expressive eyes.

but I love it now! I'm sure he'll look great on the big screen.

Here's a few shots of a fairly accurate toy of Big G

We haven't been to a theatre to watch a movie since Wyatt Earp, and that was only because a friend of ours was in it. Godzilla must be seen on the big screen and I can't wait!

Godzilla...

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

I've grown tired to of both Mothra and Ghidorah at this point, though I'd be more open to Gigan.
