My first Godzilla-related memory was when I was probably about 3 or 4, and I saw GODZILLA (1998) on TV. My dad was watching it with me, and said "What the hell? This isn't Godzilla!" So when I asked him what Godzilla really was, he told me about all the Showa Godzilla films he grew up watching and about how Godzilla was basically indestructible and beat up other monsters all the time. I told him I wanted to see a real Godzilla movie, so my dad ran down to the store and found Godzilla vs. Mothra on VHS. I watched it, and instantly I became a huge fan of Godzilla. After that I started collecting all the G-films I could find on VHS. It wasn't until a few years later I was actually able to begin a collection of all the films on DVD in their full, uncut, Japanese-language glory.
