If I may expound on your "why NYC" theory - it isn't just because NYC is an "every-city", but that it's THE city. That's why Tokyo is always the object of Godzilla's affection. No one wants to see Godzilla stomping around Mashiko any more than the want to see a giant monstrosity razing Peoria. You want the most bang for your buck when watching movies. And when it comes to destruction, you go where the most people are. In Japan, that's Tokyo; in the US, that's NYC. Anyway I have a review up, if you want to read it. I really don't give anything away that people who've followed the ARG don't already know.

Some of us learned how to do this at an early age by watching Bugs Bunny cartoons. Later, we honed our skills on Bill Clinton’s State of the Union speeches" ROFLMAO- Jimmie, thanks for the laugh. That was priceless. I'm so pumped to see this movie!! "We’ve grown up enough to separate fantasy from reality by now.
