1) Does Godzilla deserve the title "King of the Monsters"? Why or why not?
Yes; he kicks everyone's ass, both literally and also in his manner of being, his form, etc.
2) Leaving aside Godzilla, who's your favorite giant monster? Why?
Ultraman! (a.k.a. Jet Jaguar)
3) Who is the lamest giant monster?
Newt Gingrich
4) What is the worst giant monster movie you ever seen?
The honeymoon videotape of Roseanne and Tom Arnold... Okay, seriously, "The Black Scorpion"...
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?
Actually, I wouldn't eat Ebirah; I don't like seafood. The rabbits of "Night of the Lepus" might make good meat...
6) More annoying American abroad; Nick Adams in Monster Zero, or Raymond Burr in Godzilla?
Raymond "bloat" Burr... (Nick Adams was fine)
7) Most extreme example of unscientific gibberish passed of as a scientifically sound premise and/or theory.
Creationism...
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?
Cool. Merely destroying Tokyo all the time gets boring...
9) Best monster vs monster fight moment?
Anything from either version of "Godzilla vs King Kong"...
10) Lamest monster vs monster fight moment? What was the silliest (assuming there's a difference)?
There is none that I can recall...
11) Silliest thing you've EVER seen in a Godzilla movie?
The entire "Godzilla's Revenge"...
12) Best special effect you've seen in a giant monster movie?
Hmmm...
13) Worst/least convincing special effect you've seen in a giant monster movie?
Anything from "The Black Scorpion" or "The Praying Mantis". "Mothra" also had some pretty obvious minatures...
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?
15) Is the "musical" number in War Of The Gargantuas the worst monster movie music EVER?
Don't recall it...
16) Godzilla versus Gamera; who'd win?
I'd root for Godzilla...
17) Fill in the blanks: "If I were to be a giant monster, I'd want to be ________ because _______."
Godzilla; he KICKS ASS!
18) If you could be a giant monster for a day, what major city would you most like to destroy?
Baltimore...
19) Those chicks from Planet X are some snappy dressers, ain't they?
For people on LSD...
20) Aside from Minya (Godzilla's pudgy little kid), which giant monster is the biggest pussy?
None I can recall.
21) What do you think became of to those giant bug creatures from the begining of Rodan?
Don't recall them.
22) Am I alone in wanting some of that berry-derived happy-juice from the begining of King Kong vs Godzilla?
No.
23) Who's the better robot, MechaniKong (from King Kong Escapes) or Mecha Godzilla?
Never got around to watching "King Kong Escapes".
24) Do you think anybody got sued over Jet Jaguar's similarity to Ultraman?
Similarity??? They're the same fucking thing!
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?
I'll get back to you on that one...
