Dork Art: Patrick Connan's Godzilla

Hero Complex is selling three versions of Patrick Connan's stunning Godzilla poster.  Want.  Want!  WANT!  We're just a few short weeks away from Gareth Edwards's Godzilla remake and the anticipation frenzy is reaching new heights in the ITMOD household.  I've got the new blu rays, I'm still plugging away at some borrowed DVDs; I am well on my way to being a proper Godzilla freak like co-dork Matt.  But what happens if this new film sucks...or worse yet it's just meh....like Pacific Rim.  *shiver*  Expectations and nerd culture go hand-in-hand, it's a terrible burden.

Speaking of remakes...

I am seriously loving these Godzilla trailers being concocted by the good folks over at Legendary Pictures.  Focusing on the real world devastation, as well as Gareth Edwards's Christopher Nolan styled approach to Kaiju Horror rather than the beast itself.  We get glimpses of Godzilla (plus other big bad monsters), but just enough to tease without spoiling the effect.  I'm done with the marketing from this point forward.  I want to go into this Monster Epic with as little knowledge of the creatures as possible. Time to start closing eyes in theaters.  I'm committed (in more ways than one).  OH!  And I am sooooo happy that they've kept the H-Bomb horror.  Dare to dream folks, this Godzilla might be the real deal.

Dork Art: The Faces of Godzilla

This is an old print but it's been on my mind since I saw the Hall H teaser for Gareth Edwards' new incarnation.  You'll notice that the above image does not contain the animated series version or the Roland Emmerich abomination.
