GOJIRA X MACARONI



Steven Sloss makes excellent use of impassive men firing rifles and the soupy injury effects in Jun Fukuda's Godzilla films, crafting a nifty, time travelling conflict between the King of Monsters and two Macaroni megastars. Godzilla as a big game target is a pretty great concept too. It fits in nicely between the moneyed plutocrat who thinks he has a close, personal relationship with a God of Destruction in Godzilla vs King Ghidorah and Godzilla 2000's boring storm chasers.

Scrivello's short also delivers on Toho's habit of abortive, would-be crossovers. Hoping to repeat the success of the studio's King Kong match-up, Shinichi Sekizawa proposed a Batman vs Godzilla project in the mid-60s. Details are scarce regarding Sekizawa's treatment but in my mind's eye Adam West and Burt Ward have been blasted with a growth ray and are high-fiving the Big G over King Ghidorah's cooling corpse.

"I LIKE THE WAY YOU DIE BOY."



Jamie Foxx's Django and Christoph Waltz, his quick-draw dentist pal, track three slobs ripe for a killin' in Quentin Tarantino's long-mooted slave trade flavoured western Django Unchained.

Expect dynamite, hideous violence, and extremly salty language this holiday season.

"You've lost her forever, Django."



Excerpt from Sergio Corbucci's Django, showcasing Franco Nero's lethal drifter-man, and Luis Bacalov's elegiac pop score.
