Godzilla has received a Japanese citizenship certificate. Address: Shinjuku-ku, Kabuki-cho, 1-19-1. Date of birth: April 9, 1954. Reason for special residency: "Promoting the entertainment of and watching over the Kabuki-cho neighborhood and drawing visitors from around the globe."

A replica of Japan's undisputed "King of Monsters" was also placed on top of the district's iconic Toho building. The Japanese film company will release a new Godzilla film in 2016, following the success of a 2014 Hollywood remake by British director Gareth Edwards. Godzilla attended an awards ceremony in April, where he was presented with a sash from Shinjuku mayor, Kenichi Yoshizumi.

In other news, Sony Pictures could lose its license to kill make James Bond films after an agreement with Metro Goldwyn-Mayer expires later this year.

    " Sony Pictures could lose its license to make James Bond films after an agreement with Metro Goldwyn-Mayer expires later this year. "

    I am praying to Jesus Fucking Christ that they kill the franchise before they retcon James Bond into a Black, transvestite, gay, lesbian, paraplegic, hermaphrodite deaf-mute.

    That's funny. I wonder what "it" would look like with all those attributes.

      It will be like the black Stephen Hawking in a pink tutu rolling around giving it up to everyone and everything while hearing no complaining as he delivers awesome Austin Powers like pickup line is his robotic voice, or at least that is how I just imagined it.
