Attention, emergency news!
Attention, emergency news!
Godzilla is going toward the Ginza area!
Immediately escape, catch up, find shelter please!
Immediately escape, catch up, find shelter please!

You guys need to get out a little more.

Yes. I admit it.

I didn't want to point it at you so you wouldn't become embarassed and now I am myself covered in shame for not having done it.

I'm also desapointed and not as much convinced as our Admiral.
Cavorite would be expensive, but you wouldn't need very much of it in order to lift a battleship, would you?

And don't forget the beauty of a ethership floating over the landscape of Io or Venus.

Heh, I can see why - Deepending on your point of view, it's along the lines of 'Star Blazers meets Justice League meets Godzilla on steroids"...

I stopped really following them when I was what - 11? I can remember seeing only one with Aliens - it was the one that had the guys with the thin black eyeglasses and single antenna - somehow they had gained control of Ghidirah, and called him 'Monster Zero". That they made OTHER movies in that vein totally escaped the young proto-geek I was then. 

Those horrid "Gargantua' things? Bleeah...

The "Men in Black" were too easy to defeat, I think. A more shapely 'Bad Girl' wouldn't have hurt either.... 8)

Not a Nick Adams fan, but to each his own...

I really don't mind the 'Protector' meme so much, I think it's in line with the original concept of Godzilla punishing man for his destructive proclivities...

So we have a alternate reality where science turned a bit to other path. Instead of internal combustion engines being the core of our way of life, this universe leans into a more electro-magnetic machinery way of thinking.

Also, the ether, "au contraire" to the ideas of 19th century doesn't affect solid matter, isn't in a fashion breathable and it's very cold. So if we would have space roaming creatures, these creatures would have to have strong electric properties.

As for the Spacial expeditions, what I meant was that I like the late 19th century and early 20th century expeditons to the ends of our world, mixed a bit with the description, not necessarily with the horror imput, of "The Mountains of Madness", by Lovcraft, or the films in earlies 20's where the explorers would find the forgotten cities of long lost civilizations in the middle of the Himalayas.

Not so much, I suspect. Remember, Cavor was dense enough to have created such a large piece to START with. I have serious misgivings about his ability to think ahead. He wrecked his shed by creating an artifical tornado - but I suspect we'd have no reason to worry about Anarchists using cavorite to strip our atmosphere away.

It would be an interesting use of cavorite to form disruptive 'air walls' as defense against aircraft, though...

"It was not an explosion. It's perfectly simple. Only, as I say, I'm apt to overlook these little things. Its that zuzzoo business on a larger scale. Inadvertently I made this substance of mine, this Cavorite, in a thin, wide sheet...."

He paused. "You are quite clear that the stuff is opaque to gravitation, that it cuts off things from gravitating towards each other?"

"Yes," said I. "Yes."

"Well, so soon as it reached a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and the process of its manufacture was complete, the air above it, the portions of roof and ceiling and floor above it ceased to have weight. I suppose you know--everybody knows nowadays--that, as a usual thing, the air _has_ weight, that it presses on everything at the surface of the earth, presses in all directions, with a pressure of fourteen and a half pounds to the square inch?"

"I know that," said I. "Go on."

"I know that too," he remarked. "Only this shows you how useless knowledge is unless you apply it. You see, over our Cavorite this ceased to be the case, the air there ceased to exert any pressure, and the air round it and not over the Cavorite was exerting a pressure of fourteen pounds and a half to the square in upon this suddenly weightless air. Ah! you begin to see! The air all about the Cavorite crushed in upon the air above it with irresistible force. The air above the Cavorite was forced upward violently, the air that rushed in to replace it immediately lost weight, ceased to exert any pressure, followed suit, blew the ceiling through and the roof off....

"You perceive," he said, "it formed a sort of atmospheric fountain, a kind of chimney in the atmosphere. And if the Cavorite itself hadn't been loose and so got sucked up the chimney, does it occur to you what would have happened?"

I thought. "I suppose," I said, "the air would be rushing up and up over that infernal piece of stuff now."

"Precisely," he said. "A huge fountain--"

"Spouting into space! Good heavens! Why, it would have squirted all the atmosphere of the earth away! It would have robbed the world of air! It would have been the death of all mankind! That little lump of stuff!"

"Not exactly into space," said Cavor, "but as bad--practically. It would have whipped the air off the world as one peels a banana, and flung it thousands of miles. It would have dropped back again, of course--but on an asphyxiated world! From our point of view very little better than if it never came back!"

The files appear to be gone ?

I watched the 'first generation' of Godzilla movies as a kid, and wasn't even aware of the 2nd or third generation stuff out there until a few months ago. I spent some time a few weeks ago downloading those via Emule (uses the Kazaa network), and have several burned to DVD. Haven't had time to watch them all, except for the orginal (1954 - Gojira, in the original Japanese with english subtitles) and Godzilla: Final Wars.

They've apparently gone all 'Alien' on me. I don't dissapprove of the change, it just has a different feel than the original few movies. I was a HUGE monster movie fan when I was a kid.

Is there a need to change the divisor? The rules do not state that the allocation of screens have to change from turn to turn therefore the only choices made are that the ship uses screens and how many.
The choice not to re allocate the available screens is the same for everyone using them.
