OOO is less than three years old. Pretty much everyone here has already seen it and those who haven't will likely be getting around to it sooner than later. Black is from the Showa era - hell, there are probably users here younger than Black. And because it's such an older show, odds are a lot of people here aren't going to go out of their way to watch it without some incentive. Making Black the next LWW show means some people who would otherwise pass on it might actually give Showa Rider a chance. I think that would be a great thing.

And from a practical standpoint, when we did W last year, which was the same age as OOO at the time, nobody ever posted in the threads.

Took the words right out my brain.

Which honestly bums me out, because, as you said, Australia have it really good with the Godzilla movies. The only ones I've actually had to import were Godzilla '85, Godzilla vs Biollante, Godzilla vs Mothra (Heisei), Godzilla vs Space Godzilla, Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla vs Megaguirus from Hong Kong through eBay (don't worry, they were licensed copies through Universe Films that had English subs and Japanese audio as options).

Maybe one day all the Godzilla films will be licensed for release in both the US and Australia (and other Western nations of course). One day.

If we were to do a Godzilla LWW, we should choose which of the films we'd watch or pick a theme for the LWW series. Like "The History of MechaGozdilla" were we watch the movies with MechaGodzilla in them. Or we could do a "MonsterArts Movie Marathon" were we watch the Heisei movies in order since MonsterArts did focus on that last stretch of the Heisei movies. Something like that could make a LWW Godzilla work IMO

Also, since the new Godzilla movie is coming out next year, I'm hoping that's a push to get the older back into print and into stores and hopefully gets the license purgatory movies out on DVD finally.
