Largely yes. The millennial series was more willing to be silly at times, but in general they’ve focused in recent decades on a serious tone.

In October, Minesota University Press is releasing the original novellas of Godzilla and Gozilla Rides Again by Shigeru Kayama, for the first time in English.

Does anyone know if Criterion plans to re-release this set in a more bookshelf friendly edition? The enormous size of this set has prevented me from buy it because I don't have anywhere to put it with my other blu ray/DVD movies.

Anything's possible but I wouldn't count on it

I learned a while ago that it works best as part of a presentation (though I prefer the other shelf's to this one!)

I keep mine positioned next to the Bergman set so it sort of looks like the Persona arm is an extension of Godzilla's body

Who knew Netflix released their kids series Bookmarks and you thought it worthy to be next to Fellini and Bergman.

I've got mine on a dedicated shelf for big/otherwise irregularly sized box sets, along with Criterion's Zatoichi box, the Arrow Gamera and Shawscope sets, and that big Neon Genesis Evangelion box.

That makes a lot more sense thematically, and I used to do something similar in past residences. Thankfully I can store those in the add-on Billies very easily now. Shelf space is everything at this point, but I'll probably consult a few of you about storage options eventually.
Honestly, the packaging for Trainspotting bothers me more than the giant Godzilla set. At least with this, I get the idea to have a cool design. I have zero idea why anyone would make Trainspotting's packaging so complicated and ill-fitting - it serves no fun or thematic or fashionable purpose.
