So what you’re saying is that Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla is a subtle discourse of the dialectic between moden manners and a post -racial conciousness, played out between giant rubber monsters as a homage to both Chekov and the new radical theatre movement?

To be fair, giant amphibious reptiles have historically been used as frequent stand-ins for African-Americans in racist discourse.

The worst idiocy I found on an internet board was in a Yahoo review of “Godzilla 2000″ where a person referred to it as a “Stupid [racial epithet] movie.” Say what you will about that movie, it was not deserving of a racist attack.

Crappy “adult” comedies do that to, if Pip’s reviews of such at Jabootu are any indication.

That was kind of a nice diversion, but I have to admit, idiocy is so rampant on internet boards in general that I find this place to be a nice haven from that. So I don’t think I’ll be shedding any tears over celnae’s abrupt departure.

And that’s why I love talking about American horror films — it always seems to bring out the obnoxious, idiotic kids.

Celnae,

If you’re saying I’m wrong, that’s one thing. Show me where I’m wrong, and I’ll accede.

But when you come out and call me a liar — i.e., that I am willingly and knowingly spreading falsehoods — that crosses the line between crotchety disagreement and utter assholery. And you know what? I pay to host this site, and I’m not required to let that kind of thing go on, any more than I’m required to allow strangers to wander into my living room to fart.

In other words, welcome to Bannedville. Enjoy your stay.

Great review, as always Nathan. I always look forward to reading reviewts from you, El Santo, and Lyz, probably because I’ve read every single review from the three of you (yes, I have no life and get extremely bored).

Okay, let’s have one last crack at this: celnae, we do not appreciate abusive language or aggressive attitudes here. If you care to rephrase either of your statements into more polite and respectful terms, we will attempt to have a conversation with you. Otherwise, please leave and don’t come back. I hope that’s clear enough?

“And do you have references to back up your impassioned assertion?”

Have you any references to back up the bald-faced lie with which you began your write-up?

“it’s foul filth from here on out”

Fuck that shit! Let’s keep it clean, dammit!
