Pretty girls and Lego, now I feel the need to visit Denmark.

My doors are open

Denmark is all about cycling down to the docks on a summer day and drinking beer all day, and checking out girls.

That's it. I'm moving over there.

Ooooh yeah, my imagination gave them a LOT more credit than they deserved... I suddenly miss Mothra. *shrugs* Oh well...

Hi Viktorcrayon,

Fond memories of Denmark, specifically Copenhagen.  Yes, we visited the Little Mermaid statue, but I also DO remember the lady with the bulls fountain you described.  I think I have a picture of it somewhere.  Anyway, Copenhagen stands out as one of the most friendly European cities I have visited.  (It was helped, of course, of following Rome and Paris, so we had nowhere to go but UP).  I spent the most time in Germany (a total of about 5 weeks, spread over two trips), but always thought if I ever go back, Copenhagen would be on my list of places to re-visit.

And you should get paid by your tourism board for remark about heading to the docks and checking out girls ... I think every (eh, non-married??) guy that reads this board is starting to save money for a trip to Denmark.

Hah! 

Thats brilliant.

It's just basically my favourite part about this country (and scandinavia really) there just seems to be an insale huge amount of cute and loose girls. It's not really something you can market like an Eiffel tover you  know... haha.

Should get paid? Considering how enticing he made Copenhagen and Denmark sound in those last few posts I'm convinced he's already on the payroll and doing a hell of a job.

And never mind the Eiffel Tower, some things, like cute and loose girls with accents, market themselves.

Heheh. Yeah i guess i'm sort of on the payroll, since tourism is one of the things that keeps us going. 

I feel i should post some things that suck about Denmark, so i don't look as dubious.

*High taxes (40-50% depending on how much you earn, and some other factors)
*Weather SUCKS in the wintertime. Mostly gray and rain, only rarely som nice snow.
*You have to be 18 to get a drivers license (well... i'm 22 and i havent got mine yet but a lot of people b***h about this!)
*Movies aren't cheap, wich makes my addiction a bit more annoying

Brilliant that you posted that poster, Scott.

Why on earth does it look like golden gate bridge?

Try checking out the danish version

Very different. It had the distinct style of that time period. If you try scrolling trough this page
http://www.ddposters.com/poster/movie_danish.asp

You can see that it's very similiar to a lot of the stuff that was also produced in that time. Only, they were comedies, or banal dramas!

Me and my two boys were watching this on TV a couple years back,and they thought I was ouuuuut of my mind,cuz I lovedit! "Jeez dad,this is stupid! It sucks!"
"What?! Are you kidding? This is super cool! Check out the cool green stuff he spits ou!"
The American General guy is so hyper! He's my favorite charecter in the movie! Like super macho hawk type.And how the actor could keep a straight face was beyond me! A TRUE Bad Movie classic!

Ouch.  I knew that taxes over in Europe tend to be higher than ours in the US, but ouch.

Oh, I think that is from the deleted scene were Reptilicus attacks San Francisco.  You know, that is something you do not see of much in American films - monsters attacking various cities.  Godzilla and Gamera films spread the love out some, but in America it seems like we go for New York with our big monsters. 

[Viktorcrayon]

It is an insalely high tax. But there is some benefits tho.

Harryhausen was pretty diverse>he had the Ymir attack Rome in 20 Millon Miles to Earth.the octopus attack SF in It Came from Beneath the Sea,and though no giant monster ,DC in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. But NYC is a big city,which calls for a big monster.

Oh...My...Ghod!! And i thought Mothra and Rodan spent too much time glideing!

Truth is , i love this flick.
I did an actual Riffing script for this one.Around 650 jokes! Talk about a target rich environment!

A hero that looks like a constipated bulldog, proof that rednecks can breed anywere ( Peterson...sorry, dude), duleing enginues ( The profs daughters), and , of corse, the ugliest sock puppet of all time! Oliver J. Dragons evil twin! ( Lets see you young bucks catch that referance! Hah!) Whats not to love?

I had a ball riffing this movie, and i offer no appologies.
The worlds greatest cheese Danish, REPTILICUS!
And velcomen to the new boy!
Stick around, and enjoy!
