Cinematic homages abound in the new Godzilla. There are obvious ones to King Kong (with Broderick as the Fay Wray equivalent); then there is the constant damp a la Blade Runner and Alien; an extended attempt to outdo the Jurassic Park raptors; even a wink at the Coneheads ("Where'd you find that guy?"

Once you do, we will stop feeling forced to miss college for college itself instead of for the people and ideas that college gave us.
