1) Does Godzilla deserve the title "King of the Monsters"? Why or why not?
Hell, no! King Kong whupped his ass in that one movie!
.
2) Leaving aside Godzilla, who's your favorite giant monster? Why?
The Amazing Colossal Man, because that's what the ladies call me :P

3) Who is the lamest giant monster?
Mothra - who couldn't beat this thing? - just light a giant candle and let nature take it's course!
.
4) What is the worst giant monster movie you ever seen?
The Stuff - a giant pool of goo that gets itself sold little by little as a yogurt-like treat(!) then possesses the person who swallowed it.
.
5) Obviously Ebirah (the giant lobster in Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster) would be the tastiest giant monster (a little melted garlic butter and you're good to go); after him/her, what monster would be tastiest and why? Who would be the *least* tasty and why?
Well, Gamara (a giant flying turtle) would make a delectable soup, but the sludge monster (from Godzilla vs. The Sludge Monster), being composed entirely of pollution, probably wouldn't.

6) More annoying American abroad; Nick Adams in Monster Zero, or Raymond Burr in Godzilla?
Oof, impossible choice - I'll take Nick Adams.

Heyyyyy, THAT'S greaaaaaaat....
.
9) Best monster vs monster fight moment?

10) Lamest monster vs monster fight moment? What was the silliest (assuming there's a difference)?
Too many to choose from!

King Kong becoming stronger from chewing on high-voltage power lines.
.
12) Best special effect you've seen in a giant monster movie?
Well, this is a cheat, but the spider at the end of THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN was giant to him...
13) Worst/least convincing special effect you've seen in a giant monster movie?
NIGHT OF THE LEPUS - Ahhhhhh! The giant killer bunnies are coming for us! No, that's not an ordinary rabbit filmed knocking a Hot Wheels car around - we're all doomed! Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
.
14) Aside from King Kong, his son, and Mighty Joe Young; has any monster movie really moved you with actual pathos for the monster(s)? If so, how?
Well, who hasn't felt for the Toxic Avenger?
.
15) Is the "musical" number in War Of The Gargantuas the worst monster movie music EVER?
Y'know, the psych boys spent years trying to wipe all traces of that movie from my memory and now you come along....
16) Godzilla versus Gamera; who'd win?
Godzilla - Gamera IS just a big turtle, after all.

Mecha Godzilla
.
24) Do you think anybody got sued over Jet Jaguar's similarity to Ultraman?
Well, nobody got sued over the first Ultraman ripoff - INFRAMAN!, did they?
.
25) As I'm sure you've all been focusing on Japan and the USA; who's the best monster from somewhere other than Japan and the USA?
