Shin Godzilla on BD

[canofhumdingers]

Subtitles for this film are dead to me. Go Dub or go home!

Most people probably already have this, but for Amazon prime members, it's on sale for a pretty good deal at the moment. prime day has offered other Godzilla DVD & BRD as well, but nothing really super outstanding.

Boycotted Prime Day in solidarity with the workers' strike but that's cool they've been discounting Godzilla stuff.

I also tried to avoid any Amazon subsidiaries these last two days.

... accidentally broke that vow early yesterday morning when I absentmindedly watched an episode of Mirrorman on Prime (via Toku).

... but other than that? I ain't no scab, except for Mirrorman that one time.

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. <3

Let's steer this back to Shin Godzilla on BD...a couple posts have been reported.

Well, it seems the physical release is out of print and it's no longer available digitally.

... when Shin Godzilla comes back to print will it be through Criterion or Toho directly? Place your bets!

(Of course, my dream would be Criterion does all three Shin films)

I can't believe that movie is nearly a decade old already. Or that we've had three Hollywood Godzilla movies since then. Where did the time go?

When Shin Godzilla was released, Barack Obama was still the US president, Peter Capaldi was still playing the Doctor, the Summer Olympics were held in Rio de Janeiro, Netflix had only been producing their own shows for three years and still did their DVD-by-mail service, Covid-19 didn't exist yet, the newest Marvel Studios movies were Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange, and this message board was still fully functional.

Well, seems GKIDS just applied to the MPAA for a rating for Shin Godzilla, so it certainly seems like they'll be handling the new release. Crossing my fingers for 4K, orthochromatic, and extras!

Wouldn't suprise me if the Minus One release eventually switches over to being produced by them. Maybe if the GKIDS acquisition had been a little earlier they would've handled it from the beginning and it would've been less scattershot?

I wonder if a Shin Godzilla release from a Toho-owned GKIDS would have the theatrical presentation of the movie with all of the onscreen Japanese text intact. Funimation's release featured a clean presentation with all of the text included as English subtitles. The version of Minus One on Netflix has all of the onscreen Japanese text (location markers, etc.) replaced with English text, while the version that Toho released on disc has the theatrical presentation with onscreen Japanese text.
