Huh, I don’t think I’ve posted this guy yet. Still holes in MotD, even after all this time.

    “Hi, I’m Dogora. I’ll be your MoD. Now let me introduce out guest Gajin, Robert Dunham.”

    Diamonds are a Dogora’s best friend.

  • Here’s a rather neat idea for a monster movie. Too bad it falls to pieces at the end.

    I think I want to make “DOGORA” my new euphemism.

    How so? I’ve never seen the movie — the last time it was out on DVD it was gone before I could get a copy. But I understand it’s considered both a very original kaiju movie and in some ways a rather flawed one.

  • The Rev.

    I’m not sure if he’s serious or making a pun based on the climax.

    I’m a bit ashamed to say that I’ve had this DVD for years and have yet to watch it. This may be the impetus I need to finally get to it.

    Too much diamond heist antics and too little giant space jellyfish.

  • bgbear_rnh

    sadly, just like real life :(

  • A little bit of both, actually. As I recall, the subplot (which amusingly enough is about jewel thieves) sort of goes to pot at one point, though the specifics now escape me.

    It’ worth a watch. I’m rather sorry I never picked it up.

    Yeah. After seeing the ‘pick up a bride and drop it’ scene, along with the ‘levitating coal’ sequence, I really wish the monster was the star.

    Like Joe Bob Briggs says about Kaiju Eiga: “The monsters are the stars, the human actors are furniture.”

  • Flangepart

    Okay…I meant to write BRIDGE…but ‘bride’ woulda made a good scene too.

  • bgbear_rnh

    Hah, I thought it was a homage to the scene in King Kong when he dropped the not-faywray lady.
