I just read an article calling it Battlefield: Godzilla

Anyway, has anyone seen this new Tom Cruise movie?

The roar sounds similar, but it's definitely a bit different (at least before the reverberation). Even Emmerich's Godzilla had a roar that more closely matched the classic Gojira.

(Disclaimer: I don't terribly care about the roar being different; I'm only pointing out that the difference is such that I can imagine fanboys who are more Aspergian than myself feeling differently.)

Are you talking about this?

Honestly, I am just going to end up watching it. As long as I get entertained out of it. I am not that big of a Godzilla fan

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Leslie Nielsen was funny due to how well he played it straight. I don't know if Ed Helms can pull that off.

Too bad they can't get one of the FOUR previous John Connors to reprise his role.

Well it's a reboot so we'd need someone to play the role of Micheal Bein. Future adult John Connor would only be a cameo unless the movie's going to take place in both the future and the past.

It would have to take place in the future and the past if Emilia Clarke is going to play Sarah Connor. Jason Clarke is old enough to be her father. (No relation that I'm aware of though.)

Just saw the Jack Ryan trailer. No wonder Tom Clancy died. He was too embarrassed by tgis upcoming monstrosity.

I know. The movie is so not Jack Ryan it's incredible. Here's my nerdrage, reposted from the forum I originally posted it on:

Did someone forget that Jack Ryan is a New England (Possible Boston) Catholic and very much NOT Chris Pine?

Somebody forget that he was a Marine for a few months (helicopter crash ended that)? That he's fought not-IRA on the streets of London and in his own house? That Cathy knows he's CIA?
That he personally recruited a Medal Of Honor-winning MH-53 pilot and his crew to rescue American black-ops soldiers in Columbia? That he personally manned a Minigun in a hot LZ, providing suppressing fire the whole time? That he promised the dying crew chief he'd send all of his kids to college? And did so?
That he figured out the entire Red October plot in a couple minutes, then made first contact with Raimus? That he shot it out in the missile room with a GRU agent and won? He was driving when Red October rammed the other sub?
That he defused a nuclear crisis (as in, WWIII in five minutes)with the USSR by hijacking the Hot Line to say "Hi" to a Russian he'd met once?

He's killed at least 3 other people in armed, face-to-face shootouts and shot a Minigun at a lot more.

Ryan was never a field agent, he was an analyst who went out in the field a couple times. Once for the Red October, once to help a defector escape, once to get the KGB head to defect. He was there when the Pope was shot, holding a gun on the second gunman.

He's happily married to an eye surgeon and it's a series-long running gag that every time they go on vacation, she get pregnant. "Must be something about strange hotel rooms" The hotel-room gag is deliberately invoked in The Sum Of All Fears.

He's a Marine-trained, very lucky badass who's friends with John Clark, an ex-SEAL with a Navy Cross (later upgraded to the MoH), and Domingo "Ding" Chavez, a light-infantry ninja who joined the CIA after Columbia. The Prince of Whales owns Jack his life, and Robby Jackson is a shotgun-wielding F-14 pilot.

THIS IS A HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A JACK RYAN MOVIE!!!
