Original Godzilla In U.S. Theaters

saudadelinux writes "The original Gojira is in theaters now through July. See the *uncut Japanese version* of the film as it was really meant to be seen, as a serious anti-nuke picture, not just Saturday afternoon UHF fodder."

    It would be cool if Greenpeace projected this film on walls, boats, etc. during their protests. And maybe have someone running around dressed in a Godzilla outfit.
    That, mixed with the long hair, round eyeglasses, hemp clothing, and Joni Mitchell music, would be a sight worth paying to see...

    Look, I hate to push a point, but why haven't movie monsters chomped down on Canada's tallest moument? Is it some kind of Americentric thing?

      Come now. Everybody knows that gigantic monsters don't like cold weather. Did you ever see Godzilla or King Kong on a rampage while it was snowing? Of course not.

    Unfortunately, due to IP issues with the previously licensed Godzilla Hollywood movie (adn despite this one being the original), it will be called "FireLizard".

    Mozilla representatives are pondering legal action.
