A Big Honor For The Big G!

Flashjeff · 23 Oct 2004

You'll never guess who's gonna get his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in late November----GODZILLA!!!!

That's right, folks! According to an item I read in the entertainment section of my local newspaper, The Big G will be immortalized on November 29th, the date of the Japanese premeire of "Godzilla: Final Wars", said to be the last movie in the ver-r-r-r-r-ry long running series!

Who'd a thunk that an overgrown green lizard would become so popular to gain such an honor here in the States? I don't know about you, folks, but I think that's a hoot and a half!

Seriously? I'm proud of the big fella...

Apollo · 24 Oct 2004

I am also proud of the big monster!! Well done Big G!!! I knew you would be accepted one day....

A BIG CHEER FOR MY FRIEND, GODZILLA!!

Hip, hip, Hurray!

Here's an online item about the Big G's upcoming honor from Yahoo! News:

So a guy in a rubber suit is going to show up for the ceremony. It would be better if Godzilla came for the ceremony with the size he is supposed to have; ie. as tall as a building...haha... What big footprints he can leave on the pavement!

My thoughts exactly! Great minds think alike, Miss A!

In all honesty, I don't know why they would give Gojira a star.

Flashjeff · 1 Dec 2004

Hey! Why not? After all, he's the most famous monster in all of show business! I think it's too cool for words!

How was our friend G's ceremony? Any news or pictures? I'd love to see if it was a rubber-suit, or a suit made of cloth!

I'd love to see a pic of the ceremony too, Miss A.! I'm sure there has to be a pic floating around the Internet somewhere....

Oh no, it looks like a normal plastic doll and not a rubber suit with a man inside...

I have found this picture at: Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines

Yo, Miss A.! I just saw the pic! Serious bummer! They coulda done better than that! Sheesh! I woulda put on the rubber suit if someone paid me for the honor!

Yeah, it would be more lively this way, if you put on a rubber suit and walked around... Much better than a doll...

Flashjeff · 6 Dec 2004

What woulda been really cool was to have a live action short film of the Big G trashing L.A. on his way to Hollywood to receive his honor! He coulda used the La Brea tar pits as cement to put his footprint in! HA! Sometimes, I'm so clever I scare myself!

I had a small role in the events of Godzilla's induction into the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I arranged for and wrote the text for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors' proclamation of Godzilla Month and wrote the history of Godzilla for Johnny Grant, the Honorary Mayor of Hollywood.

I have a photo I took at the ceremony on my homepage, to see it click here:

The suit that appeared at the ceremony was a specially-made event suit that Toho makes for such appearances. It is rubber and was rigged up to shoot out vapor from its mouth. Tsutomu Kitagawa, the Godzilla suit actor who has played Godzilla in most of the Godzilla films since 1999, was inside the event suit for the ceremony.

You'd have to see the suit up close to really appreciate it.

OIC...thanks for sharing info!

The Star and the star

I took this photo of Godzilla with Toho executive producer Shogo Tomiyama after the star had been unveiled.

Apollo · 6 Feb 2005

NIce picture of our big friend! Thanks for sharing. This is the best picture of the ceremony so far!

The Scroll

And thank you!

The item that Mr. Tomiyama is holding (the shot is a little dark due to the sun angle) under his left arm is a scroll declaring 50th Anniversary of Godzilla Month by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. I wrote the text and arranged to get it. A photo of the scroll is below.

THanks for sharing!!

OH! I am soooo proud of the BIG G!!!

Today's Los Angeles Times has an article on the Godzilla star. Unfortunately, the link to it is no longer any good. But if you want to see it, you have to register with them.
