The Good Doctor

Sure, but that is all very far removed from what the characters in this story were dealing with. Minus One was still plenty critical of Japan from the low-level POV it was portraying. I certainly never got "pro-imperialist" impressions during any of my watch through just because it didn’t bother mentioning Manchuria or Korea.

One could argue that the worst thing a country can do is inflict suffering on its own people. Violates the whole purpose of its existence.

That is a bizarre accusation as Minus One is extremely critical of Imperial Japan. At least as far as all the senseless deaths they caused.

That is an awesome piece of trivia. Goes to show how well thought out this movie was on so many levels.

I said “good”, not “successful”. The Hollywood Godzilla movies are just schlocky popcorn fun and so are most the Japanese ones.

Balrog busting out the other good Godzilla movie in the last 50 years and hoping none of us know it’s the only example he has.

Probably books too. I’ll have to ask a jobless liberal woman to confirm.

Let’s not pretend like 99% of Godzilla movies are even trying to be like Minus One in most of the ways that we appreciate it for.

Probably. Though in fairness, I work my ass off and still make time to read when I really want to. Not as much or as easily as I’d prefer, but it can be done. So I don’t wanna assume too much.

Was talking to a friend about this movie a couple days ago. Even with recency bias is worn off, I still maintain that this is easily the best new movie I’ve seen in several years. Dune part 2 is another strong contender but I think Minus One gets the crown. It just does what it does so damn well.

Whoever they are, it sounds like it’s working out for them.

Oh boy, a new country to launder send American tax payer dollars!

Next Joker casting.

That’s messed up. Where are men supposed to use the toilet now? Outhouses?
