Forkboy, I'm going to shatter your world beyond belief (dial-up warning):

[Call Me Wesley]

Since we all know how much you believe in Barney Godzilla, as seen here:



Here's the truth. There was a man inside it! Haruo Nakajima:



Fun facts: The costume did weigh 242 lbs, and the temperature inside could raise to 140° F. So he could only move a few feet before he needed to take the head off and breathe. He passed out many times in it and destroyed Tokyo purely by accident.

I'm soooooo sorry to tell you this. Don't cry. I'm sure there's a real Gojira somewhere. ;)

[Dr. Strange]

1. It's a photoshop.

You can see the pixels.

[Call Me Wesley]

2. No, it's not.

And who knew that the inside of an Ewok was the same for Marvin as well?

[NJmaverick]

3. Is that your autographed photo? How did you get it?

:P

[Call Me Wesley]

4. It's not me.

Can't we be a bit serious here? I provide proof that Barney Godzilla really wasn't what we believed he was (and especially the inhabitants of Tokyo after having large parts of their city destroyed by it!) and all I get here is being mocked and accused of photoshopping. I only have MS Paint, anyway, and I don't know how to use it, because it's soooo complex.

And Big Bird wasn't real, either. Sorry to tell you:





:P

[NJmaverick]

6. Next thing you know you are going to try and tell me Alf wasn't real

[Call Me Wesley]

11. I'm soooooo sorry ... Seriesly!

[Midlodemocrat]

5. Nice work, Hitler. Next you'll be telling him there's no Santa.

[Dr. Strange]

8. Oh please...

you're just upset because all this time you thought you were staring at the package of a dinosaur.

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Dude. That is one awesome sig line.

LOL.

[Dr. Strange]

21. Yeah it is.

[TZ]

10. hehehe.

Dr. Strange FTW!! Dude you are rolling today!

[Call Me Wesley]

12. Hmm, no, he indeed was real, but ...

he's dead. Sorry! ;)

[Forkboy]

59. The OP is totally vicious and unprovoked.

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. You are the cruel.

:cry:

[Call Me Wesley]

13. I'm sorry, I just want to point out the truth,

even it's hurtful (for me, too!)

Darth Vader was two guys and his voice was dubbed! :cry:

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. You use the truth as a hammer!

:cry:

Dave Prowse is the only Darth Vader. And James Earl Jones was just helping him because he was wheezing from the hot, heavy costume and his lines came out all lispy.

[Call Me Wesley]

15. I apologize. Truth hurts, I know.

My lower lip is already trembling, and ... please, I'm sorry, I'm sorry:

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. NOES!

Sniffle...well, at least they're real in the animated series. So there!

:rofl::hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

18. You're makiing it really hard for me.

But ... They weren't real in the animations. They were drawn by humans. In black and white. On paper.

Sooo sorry!

:hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. I notice that Forkboy has NOT posted to this thread.

He's probably off in a corner, self-soothing.

You meanie!

[Call Me Wesley]

20. He's probably busy, with friends or something:

[Sky Masterson]

37. Wait. Forkboy has friends?

:shrug:

:P

[Call Me Wesley]

38. LOL!

No wait, hey!

[Forkboy]

60. How'd you get my wedding photo?

:wtf:

[Broken_Hero]

19. Blasphemy

next you are going to try and sell me the idea that Krypton didn't explode, and that Kryptonians are not real...whatever.



:D

[Call Me Wesley]

22. No, they're real.

At least that was what this Kryptonian told me, but she said she liked Batman more. :shrug:



And the reason this Kryptonian, whose name is Van-Zee, btw, doesn't look like anything you know from the comics or movies is because she's real. ;)

[kedrys]

36. If she's real, I'd like her phone number please

*swoon* *thud* :evilgrin:

[Call Me Wesley]

39. Okay:

011-899-988-199-911-9725-3

But telepathic contact is easier. Just channel her. ;)

[kedrys]

48. :brainwaves:

Whoa. You're right...! :rofl:

[Sky Masterson]

23. Stuff is nothing short of nerd porn

(Godzilla to Anguirus) Whose the king of all monsters? Whose the king of all monsters..:hide:

[Call Me Wesley]

24. Oh, really, really neat!

Turn my innocent thread into a full blown rubber costume sex thread. Thank you. Really. It's appreciated.

Let's dance cheek to cheek a little first ...

[Sky Masterson]

25. Sooory.. Bad me,,

Would it help if i said it was consensual? :yoiks:

[Call Me Wesley]

26. Think of the kittens!

At least some lived happily ever after ...



;)

[Sky Masterson]

28. And had a baby whatever.

:D

[Call Me Wesley]

30. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

A true love child!

[Sky Masterson]

33. He has her eyes.

:)

[Call Me Wesley]

40. Rofl!

Sure!

[Sky Masterson]

45. Godzilla was such a ladies lizzard!

Some radiated Gorilla-Whales have all the luck. :P

[AsahinaKimi]

31. Oh I Just love her!!! Momoko Kochi

Momoko Kochi's see-saw film career saw her become one of the most visible movie actresses in Japan, only to find herself typecast and her career stalled at the age of 30; yet, thanks to her appearance in Gojira and its American-edited version, Godzilla, King of the Monsters, she was perhaps the Japanese actress best known to audiences around the world.


Born Momoko Okouchi in Tokyo in 1932, she was discovered in a 1953 talent contest run by Toho Films and signed to a contract with the studio. (Her Gojira co-star Akira Takarada was discovered in the same competition.) Kochi's first film, A Woman's Heart Released, was released that same year, and in 1954 she worked in a movie directed by Kajiro Yamamoto, one of Toho Studios' veteran filmmakers, but it was her other film that year that defined Kochi's screen career for the rest of her life.


Yamamoto's protégé Ishiro Honda was making a science fiction film with a very topical storyline, called Gojira, and chose Kochi to play the female leading role of Emiko Yamane. In addition to serving as the center of the story's romantic subplot, her character provided the means to the resolution of the main story — it was as solid a dramatic role as a 22-year-old actress of limited experience could ever hope to get and Kochi did extraordinarily well in it. A year or so after its release in Japan, the rights to Gojira were sold to an American distributor, Joseph E. Levine, who proceeded to re-edit and reshoot parts of the movie, transforming it into Godzilla, King of the Monsters. Released in America in 1956, it went on to become the most widely seen and known Japanese film ever issued in the United States, finding a huge audience not only in the 1950s but across every generation since. Kochi's face thus became perhaps the best known of any Japanese actress outside of Japan.



In her own country, she soon found her acting work largely confined to monster and science fiction movies, including Half-Human) and The Mysterians. In 1959, Kochi decided to pursue the formal acting training that her early discovery by the studio had prevented her from receiving. By the early '60s she was doing Shakespeare on stage and primarily working in theater, with occasional appearances in television commercials. She did little film work again until 1995, when she was offered the chance to reprise the role of Emiko Yamane in Godzilla Vs. Destroyer, the final Godzilla film in Toho's original cycle of movies. Her performance in the role was very touching and affecting, and her presence in the movie became one of its major selling points to the public in Japan, where the decades hadn't dimmed the luster of the original movie or the quality of the acting in it. It was to be Kochi's final role — the actress died of cancer three years later.

[Call Me Wesley]

32. Nice to know her background!

Thanks for that! :hi:

[VenusRising]

34. OMG!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:


:loveya:

[Sky Masterson]

35. What?

:P :hi: :loveya: :rofl:

[VenusRising]

43. You're too funny.

Not a thing.

You just keep on being you! :* :hug:

[Sky Masterson]

44. That or insane

;) :hug: :hi: you! :loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

41. Of course, his monster pr0n

get's the thread really going. Nobody cares about the scientific truth that most of these creatures from the documentaries aren't real , but when they see Godzilla doing 'it,' it's like 'OMG!'

I'm going to bed, sobbing into my pillow. Really.

;) :hug:

[VenusRising]

42. I care about scientific truth.

But monster pr0n is "teh funny".

Don't sob too loudly, you'll wake up Heidi. :P

:hi::hug:

[Forkboy]

58. That's just wrong.

:rofl:

[Sky Masterson]

61. How could it be wrong?

If it felt so right? :crazy: :P

[Forkboy]

62. With those spikes on Anguiras you'd think they'd do it missionary style.

Though when you're Godzilla's size I guess you do it whatever way you want. :)

[Sky Masterson]

63. Size matters a great deal i guess

:P

[Forkboy]

64. Hey, stay out of my wallet!

Do you know how hard it is (so to speak) to find condoms in my size? :rofl:

[Sky Masterson]

65. It was hidden behind your Stryper fan club card.

Here is your wallet back.:eyes:

I have problems finding ones that fit too.

Thank god for these. :rofl:

[mgcgulfcoast]

27. he must be pretty big!!

[Call Me Wesley]

29. He does look taller than average:

:hi:

[JVS]

46. What sick bastard drinks tea while taking a break from wearing a rubber suit?

[Call Me Wesley]

50. It's probably Sake.

I mean, that's what I usually drink when in a rubber costume. Or would, if, ah, nevermind ... ;)

[Fire Walk With Me]

49. The camera adds 600 feet.

[Adsos Letter]

52. That's a whole different world, right there...

:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

53. It's just a Godzilla tea ceremony.

You know, you destroy Tokyo, you get a cup of green tea. ;)

[jobycom]

47. Of course there was a man inside it. Godzilla ate him! nt

[Call Me Wesley]

51. Looks like the man had his revenge

and ate the poor monster from the inside out. :hi:

[SIMPLYB1980]

54. This thread is full of win.

:thumbsup:

[Call Me Wesley]

55. I know. It's a shame!

;)

[Sky Masterson]

56. A Fork'n Gigan(tic) kick

:D

[Forkboy]

57. And to think I thought you were my friend.

This cuts deep. :cry:

But since you brought it up, here's some more fun facts:

Nakajima's also played Rodan, a Mothra larva, Varan the Unbelievable, King Kong in King Kong Escapes, Gaira in War of the Gargantuas, and others.

Nakajima won the "Mangled Skyscraper Award" at the 2008 G-Fest in Chicago, his first trip to the U.S.


One of the original sketches of Godzilla had his head shaped like a mushroom cloud.


Gojira was the first Japanese movie to employ storyboards before filming.

In today's dollars, Gojira would have cost $65 million to make, and was the most expensive movie made in Japan to that point.

The first suit design was made of a cheap latex that hardened so bad the suit was basically unusable whole. So to make it easier on Nakajima, the suit was cut in half and held up with suspenders and used for close up shots of Godzilla's lower half.



One early design had Godzilla with warty skin.


In the movie Godzilla vs Destroyer, suit actor Kenpachiro Satsuma passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning from the steam effects built into Godzilla's suit for that movie. In water shots, if he fell forward the suits would rapidly fill with water and he had only a minute or two for the crew to undo the suit and rescue him, as he couldn't move face down in the suits.


The suit actor in the millennium series of Godzilla films, Tsutomu Kitagawa, says he hates destroying the miniature cities as he sees them as works as art.


There's actually a version of Godzilla I've never seen. Italian director Luigi Cozzi made a colorized version of the American version of Gojira back in 1976. It's never been shown outside of Italy. It's been dubbed "Cozilla". I can't even find a bootleg copy. :(

Now, take your blaspheming ways and hit the road!

:P
