List of top 10 fictional bears is underwhelming and sparse.
No Katahdin? The hell kind of a sick joke is this?

Is this worth watching? I saw it has a really abysmal rating online. That's never stopped me but I don't want to slog through a long film for maybe a few minutes of good monster action.

Been a bit since I last seen it, but I recall the first half being a tad bit too slow for its own good outside of an honestly hilarious attack on some campers where one explodes into feathers.

From the point of view of a martial artist, which Tokusatsu series are the best in terms of quality fight action? You know, series that reach the level of a Hong Kong movie or a Sonny Chiba series, but without the accompanying sleaze?

I've heard some people say that the Godzilla film contest that eventually spawned Biollante, someone submitted a draft where Godzilla was being mind controlled by Hitler. Is this true?

I don't know. But it'd be cool if Toho published (or maybe they did and I'm in the dark) a collection of all the entries they received from that contest.

Here's one for fun, what if if these directors got to direct a Godzilla movie of their own? How do you think their takes could turn out if they adapted the King of the Monsters to their own vision? Who would be in the cast?

Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Sam Raimi.
Tim Burton.
David Lynch.
Christopher Nolan.
Zack Snyder.

Can anyone name an example of a film whose first and second trailers were so radically different so as to promise two totally different movies?

The Comic-Con First Look and Official Trailer 1 for Suicide Squad. The Comic-Con First Look made it look like a dark and serious movie, while Official Trailer 1 made it look like an action comedy movie.

The Japanese and U.S. trailers for Godzilla 2000. The Japanese trailer is very serious, while the U.S. trailer is full of action packed fun, excitement and Rob Zombie.

White chocolate, baby! I appreciate the more delicate, slightly floral flavor.

None

I really don’t like chocolate, unlike the vast majority of the human population, for whatever reason

Milk chocolate. Dark is gross and white is way too rich.

Considering this is a huge topic when it comes to science, i feel like asking this is worth a shot.

Which do you guys think is the next frontier is, and which one should we focus on exploring more? The ocean, or outer space?

Personally, I think mental health should be the next frontier. I think there are SO many things about the human brain that we don't know that could save tons of lives if we discovered them.

If you're asking between ocean or space, then the ocean; let's get our planet 100% before we move on to others.
