1) Does Godzilla deserve the title "King of the Monsters"? Why or why not?
Yes. Fuck King Kong. Look at the two. Godzilla is much bigger than KK, the movie battle between them was inaccurate. I cry foul! FOUL!
2) Leaving aside Godzilla, who's your favorite giant monster? Why?
Giant Squid, cause they are real. Also, the T-Rex from some 50's lost dino land movie. Shit, there are so many. This one was hidden in Antartica. The T-Rex was not claymation, but a suit or animatronic, looked like an evil Barney. There was a cool pleisiosaur, too.
3) Who is the lamest giant monster?
Any of those giant Frankensteins. Wasn't there one movie with two giant Frankensteins? What the flying fuck was the point of that?
4) What is the worst giant monster movie you ever seen?
Aside from the mega frankies, I'd say those lizards disguised as dinosaurs in some crappy movies. (i'm too vague for this poll)
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?
Tastiest- Rodan, like chicken.
Least tasty- Mothra, just because bugs are appetizing
6) More annoying American abroad; Nick Adams in Monster Zero, or Raymond Burr in Godzilla?
Raymond Burr
7) Most extreme example of unscientific gibberish passed of as a scientifically sound premise and/or theory.
Any X-Files episode...
8) How do you feel about Godzilla going from atom-powered engine of nature's wrath to mankind's best defense against the predations of Planet X and/or Seatopia?
Hey, he's gotta do something new. Destroying Tokyo in every movie would get old.
9) Best monster vs monster fight moment?
Been too long, I recall the fight with giant insects in one movie (the one with Godzilla Jr.) was cool.
10) Lamest monster vs monster fight moment? What was the silliest (assuming there's a difference)?
Godzilla vs. King Kong...please...Kong couldn't defeat Godzilla even with Ditka.
11) Silliest thing you've EVER seen in a Godzilla movie?
The "back of the head" shots spliced in Godzilla, so that Raymond Burr looks to be talking to the lead Japanese characters.
12) Best special effect you've seen in a giant monster movie?
13) Worst/least convincing special effect you've seen in a giant monster movie?
Reptillicus.
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?
Godzilla the original...how could they kill him like that. Who's the real monster?
15) Is the "musical" number in War Of The Gargantuas the worst monster movie music EVER?
I dunno about worst, but in one of the Zilla movies, the smog monster one I think, there's a this great cheesy music when Godzilla appears.
16) Godzilla versus Gamera; who'd win?
Godzilla. Gamera sucks. But the recent Gamera movie had some great dubbing. Some guy is pointing at a map and says "We can get there easily. Cool."
17) Fill in the blanks: "If I were to be a giant monster, I'd want to be _well hung__ because __it'd be fun to drown people in semen___."
18) If you could be a giant monster for a day, what major city would you most like to destroy?
New York City, if only to kill Howard Stern
19) Those chicks from Planet X are some snappy dressers, ain't they?
Oh, yes.
20) Aside from Minya (Godzilla's pudgy little kid), which giant monster is the biggest pussy?
The 50 ft. Woman
21) What do you think became of to those giant bug creatures from the begining of Rodan?
OJ killed them.
22) Am I alone in wanting some of that berry-derived happy- juice from the begining of King Kong vs Godzilla?
?
23) Who's the better robot, MechaniKong (from King Kong Escapes) or Mecha Godzilla?
Mecha Godzilla
24) Do you think anybody got sued over Jet Jaguar's similarity to Ultraman?
Not familiar with Jet Jaguar
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?
Reptillicus from Denmark
This poll was too specific for me. I haven't watch any monster movies in years, aside from (bleech!) Godzilla 1998.
