Is it normal i want to watch a godzilla movie with my best friend?

79% Normal

I'm a huge fan of Godzilla. Own all 28 movies in their original Japanese versions. I'm really looking forward to the new Godzilla movie coming out and I wanna take my best [female] friend to see it, but she really doesn't like going to movie theaters, which is understandable. So I asked her if we can at least see one of my Godzilla dvds together. However, she's not into the whole sci-fi monster movies like I am. The thing is, we see each other a lot, we get along fine, and we always make each other laugh. It would really mean the world to me if me and her sat down and watched at least one Godzilla movie together. I've always wanted to share something I care about with someone I care about. But again, she does not like those kind of movies. So I don't know whether I should continue to ask her to watch Godzilla with me, or if I should just drop the whole subject. I don't want our friendship to break up over this.

If she doesn't like those movies, she doesn't like them.

How would you feel if she kept pestering you to watch some film franchise you thought was crap and had no interest in whatsoever?

In my opinion, you should drop it. Get over the fact that you don't have this in common, and focus on the things you do have in common!

The fact that you think your friendship is at risk over this is truly saddening.

  Well I know she happens to love the classic sitcoms like I do such as The Jeffersons, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy. We also like The Three Stooges. We also like to watch cartoons like The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy. It seems that when it comes to movies and music, we're totally opposite. I like Godzilla, King Kong, and Planet Of The Apes while she likes something else. I like heavy/death metal music while she likes classical music. She also happens to love my artwork.

    Well there you go. You have enough in common to get along, so why not appreciate the friendship for what it is rather than focusing on what it isn't and will never be?
    
    You could always find another friend similarly enthused about Godzilla. No need to put all your eggs in one basket.

I think you are putting the cart before the horse. Why not wait a while before you start trying to get this girl to do something she has absolutely no interest in doing, with you.
Personally, I don't blame her. I love scifi, but I've never enjoyed those movies, especially those comical Japanese ones with the voice overs, lousy acting and special effects. I'm positive that there must be something fun for a boy and girl to do together, after puberty, that doesn't involve watching clay model monsters trampling Tokyo.

  Well I have known her for 2 years. And she knows just how crazy I am about Godzilla, and all these other monster movies. In fact, she tried finding me a Godzilla action figure for Christmas but was unsuccessful at purchasing one. Instead she gave me a Christmas card with $30 in it and on the card she wrote "I want you to go buy yourself a Godzilla toy." Either way, I was very flattered that she at least made an attempt. It's not like I'm asking her to sit down and watch all 28 movies. I would just like her to watch at least 1.

I think she's being pretty hard-to-get-along-with. If I was your friend, I'd watch the goddamn movie even if I didn't like it. It's only one movie, and it's doing something nice for a friend; giving their interests a chance. I don't like James Bond movies very much, but I watched a marathon of 'em with my brother because it was something we could do together. It'd be unfair of you to take advantage of your friend if she had sat through one movie and you pushed her to see another, but that's not how it's happening. At the moment, I think SHE'S the one being unfair. I mean, if she thought she'd be scared of disturbed by it, that's one thing. But it sounds as though she won't even spend two hours of potential "slight boredom" with you. Yeah, great friend...

I suspect that the Godzilla movies are a metaphor for a romantic relationship in this instance .

The Godzilla franchise was supposed to be pulled in 1968 but it was at the height of it's popularity and this was back in the Great SHOWA Era! There was a few Great hits in the first half but it got even better after they continued it in 1969 to 75. I gave other incarnations of "The King" a watch they were dynamic in their own right but for Me SHOWA is where it's at!

Instead of having her sit down and watch a movie she doesn't care for, how about watching a movie you both would like?

    Well they say opposites attract. I'm into heavy/death metal music while she's into classical music. She likes bugs and spiders while I like cats and dogs. I love pizza while she hates it. I like video games while she likes blackjack. You get the picture. Point is even though we have different interests, we still get along with each other.
    
    I used to know a guy who was also into heavy/death metal music like me, but he ended up being such a needy annoying prick whom I've cut out of my life.

Holy shit, there's 28 of them?!

Maybe you should just find out what kind of movies she likes and try to watch one of those with her instead.

  Of course I'm willing to sit through one of her favorite movies I may not like just to make her happy. So I don't understand why she can't do that for me.

    Maybe because she thinks, since you're her friend, you won't insist on her sitting through a movie she won't like just because you like it.
