Hey guys, what’s up with the Geek Wedding promo??? I went to geekwedding.com but it’s just a generic wedding site that says the geekwedding domain is for sale…
Did they get their own domain wrong in their promo?
I believe their website is The Geek Wedding… I see podcast info there, so it must be the place!
Thanks for the “Gojira” DVD news. The uncut original was actually screened at the Kennedy Center here in DC last year. The environmental message of the original was mentioned again and again in other Godzilla films, but was mostly background noise for the rubber-suited monster battles. However, I did enjoy Gojira thrashing the American Godzilla in the recent “Final Wars” film.
