Assignment 7- Isaac

Many of my colleagues are writing about topics ranging from Iraq gaining independence to the invention of buffalo wings to the debut of PBS. And all of these things are very important, as are many other events that happened between the 29th of September and the 6th of October. But I want to talk about something a little more recent, and while it may not go down in the history books I know it affects me and many other nerds around the world. I want to talk about THIS: http://vimeo.com/76176358

If that link won't work for you, that is the trailer for the up-and-coming Godzilla 2014 movie. Again, while this won't be entered in any history books, it is an event that myself and many fellow nerds consider important. The trailer was also leaked on October fourth, so the time frame fits. Now, on with the explanation!

As of now, this event should be marked as good. The visuals, the cinematography, that scream- all good. This also marks the return of Godzilla since the atrocious remake starring Matthew Broderick, and this time his return is Toho-approved, so Godzilla fans can expect a good show. [*Toho is the original company behind Godzilla].
Certainly this event had an effect on my existence- I'm on board the hype train for this movie for sure. As it circulated, and continues to circulate the internet, it seems to be having an effect on geekdom as a whole. Fans of Pacific Rim who know nothing about Godzilla are eager to see the famous kaiju in action, while Godzilla fans like myself are itching to see the newest iteration of the king of the monsters- especially one that doesn't stare alongside Broderick and a pile of fish. Some are even hopeful that the whole franchise will reboot, and we'll get to see King Gidorah in his three-headed glory on the big screen with a huge budget and beautiful special effects to back the kaiju up.

And if that scream didn't give you chills, then you should see a doctor.
