Passionate irreverence and satire are to be applauded when offered to an audience in the knowing wink and smile that is hoped to produce a smile. It is the acknowledgement that taking life so seriously can be harmful to the soul, and if that satire and cheeky impudence is aimed at yourself, then it makes the experience of the artistic intent, all the greater.

Everybody wants to believe in aliens, it would make sense to the universe to know that on this one particular planet somewhere in the Solar System, right in the middle of the Goldilocks effect, human beings are not the only creatures who are able to make a complete disaster of their home, it would just be so awkward if we were the only sentient beings who actually cared about visiting another race of people’s home and leaving the toilet seat up and having a discussion about whether reality television is the spawn of the inconsequential.

Every generation gets the Godzilla they deserve. The 1990’s debacle starring Matthew Broderick thankfully can now be put to bed as the nightmare it was and audiences in the second decade of the 21st Century can breathe easy knowing they at least have got a monster so cool that it practically makes all other versions somehow seem vastly inferior.
