Viewing Notes

Went down to Hollywood Blvd Cinema in Woodbridge to see this on the big screen. It’s been one of my favorite Godzilla movies so I am very happy to see it in the theater finally. Sadly it was a DVD projection, which I expected. But at least the sound was cranked up to drown out most of the talkers and waitstaff.

Unfortunately NOTHING could drown out the woman behind laughing loudly at nearly every single thing happening on screen. EVERYTHING. I talking things that aren’t even funny. Was simply bizarro to witness this annoyance. At least a near capacity crowd was on hand to see this classic presented in Japanese.
