Godzilla 2000: Millennium (1999) Embarrassed and/or disgusted by Roland Emmerich's attempt to pass off an overgrown iguana as the Big G in 1998, Toho decided to bring the original back to theaters just in time for Y2K. Their idea to better the American film was to have Godzilla battle... a large rock. The sad thing is, as lame as that sounds, it is better. Despite some pretty dodgy CGI, the miniatures and suit work are top notch, and once the rock reveals its true nature, the movie moves into classic kaiju territory. This is probably nobody's favorite Godzilla movie, but it's an enjoyable enough addition to the franchise.
TIL: When many Protestants speak of the Millennium, they are referring to an expected 1,000 year reign of Christ on Earth before Satan is unleashed to usher in the end of the world, basing this belief on a few verses from the book of Revelation. A handful of Early Church Fathers knocked this idea around but, agreeing with Augustine, the Church ultimately rejected this notion as Scripture as a whole doesn't support the idea of a complete Christianization of the world before it ends. Instead, the Church interprets the "Millennium" in an allegorical and moral sense as representing, well, right now, the time between Jesus' first and second coming.
I HAVE SOME NOTES: One notepad, one pencil, and a lot of goofy notes on my daily Scripture readings.
