I hate that this is even a thing.

  • Godzilla is a metaphor (either intended or simply ingrained in the Japanese psyche) for Hiroshima and Nagasaki
  • King Kong is a "Beauty and the Beast" love story

They are from different eras and are important films in their own way.

But we end up getting this shite because monsters must fight monsters, apparently.

It's all a load of fucking shit and devalues the importance of each movies. It should never have been made.

Anyway, I haven't seen the movie but Godzilla would win. Atomic breath. Come on guys, the monkey's dead meat that you can't touch for a hundred thousand years.

It'll be interesting to watch someone establish a bank in a space station.

Inevitable, probably.

For all fallen, from any conflict, from any side.

They gave their lives.

What a shame. A lot of guys will have worked hard on this, perhaps going on a journey from initial enthusiasm at the novel gimmick to anxiety over real-world usability.

Sadly they're going to lose all their money or, even worse, find a way to pay back the VC.

I'm a Brit. In 2016, my best friend (who's not a betting man) walked into a betting shop and placed a £50 accumulator on Clinton winning the US election and the UK voting to Remain in the EU.

Dead certs, right?

58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.

Don't forget, Porkshire, Wankashire and the Norfuck broads.

He's going down for a long time, and personally I think he's an over-confident, misguided fool.

But I don't think he's a crook, in the sense that he originally set out to be dishonest from day one.

I think his well-intentioned, cocky plans turned to shit when he found himself playing a game of cryptopoly with other people's real money and landed on the "Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass 'Go'. Do not collect £200“ square.

I feel ever so slightly sorry for him. His entire life is now fucked.

"Room for a couple more in there?"
"Yeah but make it snappy"

I mean, you couldn't be more right. This is aid-point zero.

This conflict couldn't be more zany if it tried. Russia will be asking the moon for aid next. At least India have got something up there which Russia could steal, melt down and make into an Arquebus or something.

Ditto. Both my wife and I were heavy smokers and moved to vapes. As soon as I used a vape I thought "this is the solution!" after trying to quit smoking many times for decades.

They really provide 80 to 90% of the satisfaction of a cigarette and take the edge off those moments when you damn well need a ciggie.

After a couple of years of vaping I find it now much easier to do without them for a few days, although I do like one with a beer.

You have to have been on that 10 or 20 year journey of smoking cigarettes to understand how hard they are to put down, and vaping was the tool that got me away from burning the evil tobacco leaf.
