    NIN rules... I thought the special effects looked good enough to stream for free. I've only watched the first sequel once, feel like this will be the same.

    My opinion... The trailers looked like crap. Nine Inch Nails sucks. Jared Leto is an a-hole. Plot sounded dumb to begin with. Not even worth streaming when it drops for free on Tubi.

    From what I’ve been hearing, he’s not even the worst part of the problem here. Just bad acting all around and a bad script giving a lot of goofy dialogue and terrible story.

    I don’t know, they seem to be lacking a carapace. Although the face thingies are a bit crabby. Hopefully they more like snow crab, cause that stuff is so good even without seasoning or butter, nice and naturally sweet. Now I’m gettin hungry again

    The Predator race seem to be based off of crabs, if I'm reading their morphology correctly. If that's the case...

    Between you and me, I suspect it likely owes a fair bit to the fact that those ~1 million people who survived the First Space War by luck or good judgement ultimately spread out a bit rather than staying in a single large community. It's not just the survivors on Luna or in the space colony clusters at the Lagrange points. The survivors living on Earth spread out and founded a bunch of small towns and a couple small cities as we saw in the postwar arc of Super Dimension Fortress Macross. If the clones chose to live in or near those same small communities, you could end up with populations small enough for that to start to become an issue. (One male soldier in the postwar arc implies that men outnumber women after the war, so it's possible that a cloning with an eye towards rebalancing the gender ratio may have contributed as well.)

    A million people is orders of magnitude above what you would need to minimize recessive disorders. I suspect the hereditary diseases have more to do with the cloning itself than limited numbers, although they do tend to complicate other without some management.

    I did some checking, and it seems that Predator: Badlands producer Ben Rosenblatt confirmed your hypothesis is correct in an interview with IGN published yesterday. Per Rosenblatt: TBH, that borders on "distinction without difference" in terms of my reaction. "No humans were harmed" is kind of the antithesis of a Predator movie, IMO. The Predator taking down a goofy all-CG space critter and getting splattered with food dye doesn't have the same visceral impact or invoke the same fear that seeing one kill and take trophies from actual humans does. The same goes for watching our intern space hunter whack a bunch of unfeeling robots. (There's a reason the Star Wars prequel trilogy used droids as the enemy... so they could be offed en masse without the audience sympathizing with them at all.) I'm not sure the comics, games, etc. have ever been canon there... but the second movie didn't really do anything except briefly let the protagonist into a misty, indistinct room on their ship for a bit so they could spook him, hand him a trophy for reasons unclear, and then go about their business. They stayed pretty inscrutable. It's not the same as having one of their interns spend two hours getting the snot kicked out of him as a focus character.

    It's entirely possible that the PG-13 was achieved solely because of the blood and other bodily fluids being non-red. I'm reminded of the Transformers movies getting away with Bumblebee essentially doing a Predator spine pull, in slow motion, in crisp 8K IMAX 3D Smellovision UHD, because the enemy wasn't human and the "blood" was a yellow-green "robot juice." The property was doing that as soon as the second movie. And that's even without considering the comics, games, etc. The fact they have a proper species name at all - "Yautja" - means they've long been de-fanged.

    @tekering ummm…WOW! That’s going to be a big boy! Holy cow I can’t wait to see this. 🤯
  13. tekering
    After months of neglect, I'm finally back at work on the SDF-1... or the Prometheus, at least. Note if that's the standard kit, it doesn't include the photo-etch parts, the LED lighting kit or the waterslide decals... but it does include a large sticker sheet! 😅

    Pretty much the moment Leto was announced I knew this was gonna go downhill. I’ve never liked him, I think he ruins a lot of films and no idea why he was even chosen in the first place for this kind of project with his track record.
  15. Hikuro
    That is Disney and what’s left of fox trying to play it safe to get dollars. You’d think they had learned their lesson in previous films but alas.

    They have been producing the v2 1/60 since 2008. How do they not have this down pat yet. And yes i understand they went to a different factory but they should have the planning in place to prevent quality issues.
  17. jenius
    How were they able to do 0A toys but not the VF-1?
  18. danth
    I swear I have a 1/60 Hikaru on order from somewhere. Probably already paid for. I couldn't tell you which website. I hate this. It's like everything has turned into a kickstarter. EDIT: The good news is I was able to search my email and found an update from AmiAmi. Looks like I didn't prepay at least.
  19. tekering
    Thanks, but I didn't realize how low-resolution the game models were... 🫣 That might be adequate for a tabletop gaming miniature, but it certainly won't look good at 1:60th scale. 😒
  20. grogall
    Yep! It's like large and small modules that then make up the large part of the castle! It's Minifigure scale and will be quit large. The main tower alone is almost 70cm high. But also expensive with the first two main building adding up to €450 and next years Astronomy Tower being rumored to cost €300...

    I honestly didn’t realize until last night after reading this here that they made that mistake again. The great thing about the Predator is that not only are they creepy unseen killers, but that they gruesomely take trophies. This movie is was already sounding too tame, but now it’s a bit too silly for me to care about. I may still check it out on D+, but I’m really not excited about it.

    Inexpressive Kashiwada & Expressive Oota An odd-couple romance comedy about a pair of high school students: a hothead named Oota who has no poker face to speak of and the girl he lowkey likes, the phenomenally stoic Kashiwada. He's openly fascinated by her and is absolutely determined to do whatever it takes to crack her deadpan expression and get a visible reaction out of her, no matter how immature. Basically, the central premise of the series is one of those little kid crushes where they annoy the object of their affections as a way of showing interest. It's cute and refreshing, in a very innocent sort of way. Oota's such an open book that Kashiwada seems to have no trouble at all telling what he's up to and foiling his plans.

    Is that the one built out of all the regular sets in the line put together?

    Here is a link to the 31A head from MDS. As mentioned, it's straight from the game without any alterations. I saved the whole head as an STL, but also made separate files of the head by itself and the eye pieces by themselves in case you would want to print them out of different materials. I also included and FBX version just in case that's easier to work with. At a minimum, I would think you have to model a ball joint into the base to adapt it into the DX, but hopefully this gives you a good starting point. Let me know if you have any questions. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hJxO8ozaP97cWCX36qCHfz3M7c5ZLI3_?usp=sharing

    Nah. I'm sure it'll be impressive once fully completed, but I bought the micro-scale full castle grounds set on a deep sale and haven't looked back, that's pretty much all I want and need from Harry Potter Lego.
  26. Seto Kaiba
    Wait, it's a PG-13 Predator movie? That definitely feels like a misstep. I might've been tempted to see it in theaters, but now I think I'll wait for the streaming release. Sounds like they're making the same mistake as the first Alien vs Predator movie too. Well, yeah... but that's not an indicator of understanding the content of what's being said. I can record and play back birdcalls and the vocalizations of primates, but that doesn't mean I know what they're actually saying. I'm definitely with you there. The less we know the better, because their inscrutability was the main thing that made them scary. They were the Unknown and the Unknowable. You can't make them scary again as an unknown menace once you've been to their home and met their mum.

    As soon as I can get me some top coat, it will be done. It’m just doing panel lining and the decals on that guy
