Godzilla Gets Hollywood Walk of Fame Star |
2004-11-30 |
I dont know about anyone else but I've always had a soft spot for Godzilla..... Godzilla received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, 50 years after he stomped onto movie screens and hours before the premiere of his latest film, "Godzilla: Final Wars." Producer Shogo Tomiyama appeared at a ceremony outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where the 2,271st star is located. "I'm here representing Godzilla. Unfortunately, he cannot speak English," he said. "We're very excited he is being honored in America." He is more deserving then a lot of other star receivers..... On screen, the fire-breathing sea creature was spawned by nuclear weapons testing. He made his appearance in Japanese theaters in November 1954 - while the United States was conducting nuclear tests in the South Pacific. A version starring Raymond Burr made it to theaters in the United States two years later. |

#6 SCuttlebutt is that pretty soon the GODZILLA series will be no more - too bad, I'd always wanted to see the traditional Gizzy do combat against all of his contemporary versions, to includ The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, etc. |
