Godless Godzilla and Godzilla at 50

pjones writes " Monster Zero reports that Toho has taken the God out of 
Godzilla leaving us with the affectionate if diminished name of 'Zilla.' 
But only the American Godzilla will become godless. 'Godzilla' is reserved 
for our suitmation favorite, while his rival, now called 'Zilla,' is the 
name for the computer generated star (?) of Godzilla 98. And yes we will 
see the two in mortal combat with 10 other monsters in Godzilla: Final 
Wars. In the meantime, Godzilla at 50 events are beginning world-wide. 
Leave it to Kansas to hold an academic conference, 'In the Footsteps of 
Godzilla'. In San Francisco, the plans are more gala where more films and 
more Godzilla involved personalities are part of the plans for 
GodzillaFest which will feature 20 films (not all feature Godzilla). Any 
other Gojira/Godzilla/Zilla events?"
