Back from Destroy All Monsters! with Nate.
Mike: How was the movie?
Me: About what you’d expect. Giant monsters battling each other.
Mike: Uh huh.
Me: Though the ending still gets to me. It shows Godzilla, 60 years later, sitting on his home’s porch dressed in a white kimono and greying at the temples. His friend Anguirus is sitting next to him, and he says, “You know…What the hell were we fighting about back then anyway?” And Anguirus says, “I don’t know, man. I don’t know.” And Godzilla replies, “In the end, we were only destroying…ourselves.” Then a single tear trails down his scaly cheek.
Mike: Yeah, that didn’t happen.
Me: Wouldn’t it be awesome if it did? I’d pay to see movies like that.
