Happy Birthday Mothra

Yesterday marked the 50th Anniversary of the release of the Mothra in Japan.  It is a beautiful film to watch.  The effects by Eiji Tsuburaya are top notch.  Ishiro Honda's direction brings us a film that is masterful in it simplicity.

On Facebook, a number of fans marked the occasion by taking part in a combined viewing where by they all started it at the same time and then "chatted" with each other as it played.  It was a great, communal experience that was a big hit with all who were able to take part.

We hope to make it a regular experience that anyone added to the group can take part in.
