They should use this for the victims and survivors of the 2011 Japan earthquake.

@eder1987doom H.P. Lovecraft.

@wickerspin1119 That wasn't a debate, that was a book recommendation. Calm yourself.

@GunnarMcGriff God damn I didn't know this was going to become a debate. You win alright.

@wickerspin1119 I understand the quasi-supernatural thing, but that's not enough to qualify as Lovecraftian (even if he's giant and he comes from the sea). Lovecraft doesn't focus on the oppressive melancholy we see in Godzilla 1954, he focuses on madness. There's a sense of dread to both of them, but of very different flavors—Lovecraft is more existential. His horrors make us feel insignificant.
You'd probably have to read some stuff by him to see the distinction. I'd recommend him highly.

@GunnarMcGriff Tell you the truth I never read lovecraft. I just absorbed the jist of his themes through the surrounding culture. Sure there's something primal about Godzilla, but there's something about him that also feels sort of quasi-supernatural. At least that's what the film gives the impression of. Maybe it's the whole melancholy air of the first film that gives me that sense. Now I definantly want to watch it again.

@wickerspin1119 Listen, I love Lovecraft with a passion, but Godzilla is NOT Lovecraftian. His nature is much more primal than the sort of existential horror Lovecraft wrote about—he's a dragon, a Leviathan, nature's rage personified!

@supah1337B Good sir, reading your comment while listening to this infinitely meaningful song...just nearly brought me to tears.

@GodzillaXAbudAwwal
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but what are you? A fucking idiot? It's kinda a movie but it's just a political statement about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Do some analysis every once in a while.

the american godzilla (the one with the eggs) is an utter disgrace to the character. watch Gojira (1954) or the american release with ray burr -Godzilla: King of the Monsters (1956) to get a real sense of godzilla. it is completely different
