Yes.  I know you all have been clamoring for the next installment of this exciting series for eons now.  Daddy does not disappoint!  Behold: Godzilla vs. Hedorah aka Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster.

This is one of those Godzilla films with a message.  And that message is: “Pollution is bad.  Godzilla love you long time.”  I, for one, totally disagree with that message.  If pollution is so bad, then how come I’m not a starfish?  And if Godzilla loves me, then why would I watch his stupid movies?  I want to see him destroy Tokyo, not save the world (sorry Japan.)

Ah, spring is in the air, so let’s jump ahead about a decade from our last riveting issue of “Godzilla Movie Poster” and visit Son of Godzilla.  This is the heart-wrenching 1967 coming-of-age tale about an illegitimate child trying to build a relationship with his giant, radioactive father.  Minilla will do anything to win his daddy’s approval, but will Godzilla even acknowledge his abandoned love-child?

Who cares!  This movie blows chunks.  Actually, I’ve never seen it, but really, who wants to see a family drama when you could be watching Ninja Terminators?  And besides, we both know that you’re only here to see the art of Son of Godzilla anyway.  Well, it’s after the jump, ese.

It’s a question that has haunted our greatest minds for the past half century.  Who would win in a fight: Godzilla or Gamera?  Well, friends, you have questions but Gimorozo has the answers.  Well, more specifically, we have access to the answers.

I brought this question before my boss.  Not only is he Japanese, but he’s also from Japan and he speaks Japanese!  His response is after the jump.

This is going to kick off something of a miniseries that will last until it’s finished.   Actually, it might not even last that long…it depends on how lazy I am.

Now, you probably realize that Godzilla means a lot to us here at Gimorozo; but, did you know that there is a great artform revolving around the big G?  Of course, I’m talking about his movie posters.  For each part of this series, we will compare three different posters for the exact same movie and see what three very different countries do to market the King of the Monsters (In case you’re wondering, those three countries are Japan, USA, and Poland).

Let’s start at the beginning.  1954 marked the debut of Gojira in Japanese theaters.  It is a cautionary tale about nuclear warfare from a country still reeling from the devastation of the only nuclear attacks in history (so far…my money’s on Pakistan making the next big move).
