Why do we like monsters, so much?

For me, it's the amazing variety of monsters, from little-but-ambitious amoebas (the Blob) to gigantic, city-stomping dinosaurs (Godzilla), and everything in-between, like screaming carpets (Creeping Terror), malicious celery (It Conquered the World), and gorillas wearing diving helmets (Robot Monster.'

Let the Horror fans have their slashers, their Jason and Freddy and Michael. They aren't true monsters.

What are your favorite movie monsters?

- Crazy. All crazy but I'm.

What did you think of G-2014?

I made sure I saw it in all forms. I was so glad to see a great new representation of Godzilla, I'm sure I forgave a lot of its flaws.

But, flaws: The movie should be about Godzilla; the military's efforts should be tertiary. Who cares about this pale guy who's been in the desert for ten years? This is a MONSTER MOVIE!

Also, I found the Mutoes kind of cipher-like; their design seemed generic, and they weren't used to their full potential.

I liked the re-design of Godzilla as a grizzly bear/snapping turtle hybrid. Looking forward to that well-designed monster in its next movie.

My opinion is the designs, their motivates and goals. It cool to expand my mind on the different evils present instead of a masked killer.
