  1. No… You can do all of the things to entice people into watching this piece of shit film. It was a turd then and it’s still a fucking turd. No matter how many special features and a 4K transfer you put to polish this turd. It’s still a fucking turd. Don’t get me started on that fucking song by Poo Doody that he did for this fucking piece of shit film.

  2. I sort of don’t mind this one, it’s Godzilla, a monster stomping around, nothing overtly stupid about it. This is quite an upset because the director is one of the hackiest hacks to ever direct a movie, and he has demonstrated numerous times in numerous movies what a hack he is.
