  1. Whatever you could do, would be greatly appreciated. I'd compensate you for it too, if that even makes any sense. In any case, for those of us who chose the dark side and watched the fansubs, I've got some points to discuss: Can't think of anything else as of now, but I'll post up more thoughts as I come across them...
  2. I'm not too proud to say that I went the fansub route either, but oh well. "When" Bandai Visual finally decides to open this up to those of us outside of Japan, I'll gladly support it legitimately. Meanwhile....THOSE TWO EPISODES ARE FRAKKING AWESOME...
  3. I don't put much stock in the words of career critics. I want to see what the fans have to say; what WE have to say. I will be there on the 19th with my 18" alien figure, ready to be thrilled or disappointed...
  4. Hijikata is probably cruising around on some vessel that will dwarf the Andromeda in power and dramatic effect, to be seen later in the story.
  5. You can say that about any group of characters in any movie. You've watched Star Wars right? Aren't the Jedi in the prequel movies the dumbest, most clueless miserable bunch of idiots there ever were, what with everything that was going on in front of their smug Jedi faces? Just watch Prometheus, I'll bet you may even like it...
  6. Damn straight. Say what you will about the prequels but at least they tried new things. Not too crazy about the X Wing do-over either. Why even bother to do episodes after 6 if this is going to be the case?
  7. Pretty clear to me it was Luke. In any case, I hope they copy Empire for episode 8 as they did with New Hope for episode 7; seeing Luke ride piggyback on Rey while she runs around and does flips will be hilarious...
  8. I couldn't even watch Apocalypse through all the way the first time, I thought it was that bad...
  9. I stopped enjoying Fast after #4, which is where it should've ended. As for Scarlett in the Shell, I thought the movie was incredibly slow paced and equally shocked that it was only an hour and forty six minutes long; it felt like Return of the King, as the story moved so slowly. Part of my frustration was my inability to sympathize with Scarlett's pain; there was this painfully obvious identity, who am I crisis going on but it was so simplistically presented and acted so shallow and carried no weight through Scarlett that it just didn't work for me. Yes, this is probably the best anime to live adaptation there is, but that isn't staying much, since animated to live adaptations are Teh suck, anyway. Maybe if they had picked an actress who's worth a little more than T & A and/or have writing that isn't such an "empty shell" to begin with...
  10. Just saw this movie last night. I'll say it is simultaneously my favorite super-hero movie, as well as one of the saddest movies I've ever experienced. I was truly depressed leaving the theater. And how long has this movie been showing? The theater was packed for this...
  11. Hey boys, I know that this thread mostly covers the latest, greatest, and most exotic machines on four wheels, but I was hoping to get your opinions on a dilemma I have with my own cars. I've been told that airbag systems, that normally NEVER get serviced during the lifetime of a vehicle, face increasing odds of not working or even malfunctioning as the years go on. Also, I was in an accident a few months ago where the airbags seemed to do more damage to my passenger than they did in protecting her from harm, from what I could tell. Putting this car back on the road was also more complicated with the blown airbags, as insurance immediately totaled it and then I had to replace the airbag system. Therefore, I was thinking about pulling the fuses(s) and disabling the airbags in my vehicles, since I am starting to doubt their functionality as well as their ability to safeguard my passengers and I, anyway. Lastly, I drive around in my '69 Charger that obviously has no airbags, and I figure if it's good enough for the Dodge it's good enough for all of the other vehicles. The cars in question are my '97 Camaro Z28, '98 Mustang GT, '99 Firebird T/A WS6 and an '01 Mustang GT. What say you, MW gearheads?
  12. Never noticed that ship had only one turret in the back, not to mention the two in the front. What is with the new EDF ships having less turrets than that bucket of bolts Yamato?
  13. Yeah I know. I was refering to the cast and their specific storyline, which many refer to as JJ Abrams' Trek. And if Justin Lin is now helming this particular cast and universe then I'd say it's probably over...
  14. Lord knows I'd actually be able to sit in my living room if I didn't have it piled up with books, games, cd's and movies...
  15. Not only that but I like having hard copies of media. Movies, music, games; I have hard copies of all of that stuff-I even have cassettes for my 80's metal bands. I can't/won't rely on streaming only....
  16. It just doesn't make any sense not to subtitle it right away. When, and even IF Japan arranges a deal to distribute 2202 with English support in other countries, the majority of the people who would have purchased 2202 legitamitely won't want or need to after they've streamed/downloaded it through piracy. Is there more to making profit and marketing and all that? Maybe, and I sure wouldn't know about it, but this matter seems pretty clear to me...
  17. Interesting point about the lack of subtitles: that including subtitles NOW would prevent them from selling 2202 to distributors in other countries if people had already bought the blu rays from Japan directly. I get that; however piracy will definitely distribute 2202 long before any deals are struck between Japan and the rest of the world. In the long run, Japan should've included subtitles from the get-go, IMO...
  18. I must resist temptation; gotta save up for that Oda Non bunny girl with the vibrators on her boobs...
  19. Well asides from the Legioss' and the Treads, wasn't Art 3 mostly original work?
