A couple hours earlier my local server went Tango-Uniform and I lost all intranetz. I figured out how to switch my new Bravia onto my old OTA antenna, and was able to pick up a local station, and it was tuned to a very old Godzilla movie, "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", 1957. Was mostly filmed in Japan but did have, I think, Raymond Burr in it (much lighter and sans wheelchair).
Much balsa was harmed in the making of this film (don't banninate me, I've never seen any godzilla flick except for a brief bit of Godzilla meets Mothra, back in college). There was a weak side-love story in this film, and the scientist involved showed his arranged-marriage fiancè the "oxygen-depletion" potion he invented, and one drop killed and dissolved an aquarium full of fish. "Oxygen-depletion".... where have I just heard that term, really recently??
The high-voltage lines around Tokyo didn't kill him, but it appears that's where Godzilla got his flame-breath, ice-breath, and spine-plates that could glow. He beat up Tokyo bad, then retreated to the bay again. Loser-guy in the love triangle finally agreed to use his Oxygen depletion to kill it, and it was a physical device, whose outline was just tattooed onto Hot Monkey's arm; the coincidence/timing here is kinda freaking me out.
Loser-guy detonated the oxygen depletion device, then cut his cables to the ship. Godzilla swam to the surface, had enough air in his lungs to roar one time, but then supposedly asphyxiated (after he surfaced?!?)
Odd evening here.
And, the local channel that I watched this on (called "Comet"), kept playing in the background, and the very next show was the first episode of "The X-Files", which I've never seen. I could get caught up in that...
