    Monster/giant monster movies. I really miss horror movies where the monster was a real monster, not some twist where the monster was actually a metaphor for loss. Also giant monsters destroying cities dont get enough love these days.

        Honestly, mainly just classics. I grew upnon the 70s godzilla movies and that whole universe. Alien is one of my favorites. Cloverfield (original) was fun. But honestly there just hasnt been much in the last like 20 years.

      I genuinely loved 2014 Godzilla - to me, it was the right balance of building a believable undercurrent of discovery and not showing too much until it’s time. The airport scene - when a panicked terminal is running from a monster and explosions and then, boom - dwarfing all that enters a foot. Holding that shot, letting the scale sink in - really great.

      I’m really hoping the next Cloverfield is a banger

      I lost track of a ARG stuff “the old site” got shitty.
