Well, that was fun. Before the main feature, we had a goofy old short called "Soapy, the Germ Fighter", which may have actually made me laugh harder than the main film. That said, most of the jokes for Mothra were pretty good. There were a couple of toy car jokes, and a lot of jabs at the dialogue (that dub, tho), but most of it was in very good humor. I really didn't need that comparison of the cocoon to... Um... "mothballs", though.
Seeing Mothra on the big screen was a treat by itself. The bluescreen effects were pretty obvious (and the group behind me couldn't help laughing at a couple of the miniature still shots), but oh, man, those city sets and Mothra herself! The larva suit looked fittingly enormous.
Getting my extra goodies online now. It was a fun night.
