  1. Past hour
  2. Tried the first two episodes of the new season of One Punch Man and yeah, I'm out, I can't, I'll stick to the manga. That first season was an anomaly and we all knew it, One Punch Man was never destined for a full anime series to cover the whole thing, it's just not gonna work, not even because of the massive quality gap from season 1 to 2 and 3, and but just 2 and 3 in general just look awful without comparisons, it's just bad.
  3. I saw it in IMAX Saturday night and I really enjoyed it overall. Works better as a generic sci-fi action movie with an alien as the focus, rather weak Predator movie IMO, but it was enjoyable overall, action packed, violent, not bad. Not really the direction I'd like to see the franchise go overall, but clearly Disney is looking to hit on multiple fronts, some R rated stuff, some PG-13, some live action, some animated, I'm okay with all of it as long as it doesn't drop to the quality of The Predator or anything like that again.
  4. Today
  5. I don't disagree that Frankenstein is a great story however there is many many more books (manga included) sitting on shelves that deserve a look at for a fresh new movie too. And the audience wants that.
  6. TBF, it's a great story if writers/directors stick to Mary Shelley's narrative instead of interpolating their own ideas, changing endings, or otherwise change things that make the creature and his relationship to his creator so engaging in the first place. There's a reason the story has endured- Mary wrote a bestseller that continues to enthrall to this day. I may have to give my copy a reread, as it's been a while since I read it last. Anyway, I haven't watched it yet, but I've been anticipating it, as it looked to follow Shelley's story closely, at least judging by the trailers. I hope it doesn't disappoint on that front (haven't read any spoilers).
  7. Mild spoilers, but also very funny:
  8. I am in for a Metal Build Barbatos, depending on the price point and options they include. If the release includes the various armor and weapons to make 1st thru 4th form I am more likely to spend $300 versus just one of the forms.
  9. I'll just say it, GDT is an over-hyped director. He has good ideas with pretty cinematic shots but his films don't deliver like they should. Also, Frankenstein... again? Hollywood should have stopped at Young Frankenstein.
  10. Yeah, Nin Nin Games reopened their pre orders too at their original price so I was able to get one there.
  11. Haha, I bailed out of Frankenstein after half the runtime. There were some beautiful shots and memorable scenes, like the demonstration you mentioned, but these were outweighted by the issues I had by then. The way the narration was presented, it never dragged me into the movie. Scenes felt disjointed as if shot by different directors, the character interactions couldn't have been worse if they werd directed by George Lucas, the music was off, and the cinematography and VFX were all over the place – the introduction in the polar circle felt like it was shot entirely in Unreal Engine. This should have been a homerun for GDT, so I'm still puzzled what went wrong.
  12. There was a clear note on ami's english-site regarding their non-japan PO opening 11/10 11am JST. at any rate, HLJ's po is open again, but you cannot cancel it anymore per their new cancellation-policy https://www.hlj.com/dx-chogokin-vf-31a-kairos-macross-delta-10th-anniv-banc723086
  13. I thought amiami was already sold out earlier. Were they really just that late to open for PO?
  14. Was just wrestling with my armored AX. Honestly was a lot of suffering that I wouldn't bother going through with on more than just the one unit I own, even if another was given to me for free lol I'd rather they finish up those supers, or released sets of those double missiles that work with or without the super's shields. Or as far as pipe dreams go, replace the wing hinges on this and any future 31 releases with the AX hinges with hard points, so Lil Drakens can be slapped on without funny adapters, even if the position is kind of off.
  15. some macross-fan at bluesky with her SDF-1 reissue...
  16. Most likely Bandai just limited shop-allotments yet again as it did in the original pbandai release since it's not a hero-valk. At any rate, this reissue is still open for importing at ami as of this posting-time: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-193946 Honestly, quite a price-hike at msrp for a naked reissue without supers or armor parts. Bandai gotta Bandai...
  17. To be fair, that was accurate to Arad's Valk in the show.
  18. Indeed. Safety orange just doesn't strike the right tone..
  19. Maybe I need to get another set of the normal super packs and paint them in gray too.. although, honestly, Messer's set in black looks pretty decent out of the box. If only the armor pack didn't come in freaking day-glo orange.
  20. Havent gotten any armor parts for the 31 but i would def want the 31A scheme armor parts.. that light grey/white/darker grey combo slaps!
  21. Lol ! Well done and very entertaining!
  22. Gonna have to get an available set and repaint. Because that looks cool 😎
