So, it was a comedy, and this was the punch line..? I was thinking of getting DCU, mostly in order to watch Stargirl, but seeing how they handle this stuff, I might wait for the DVD...

That looks awesome. The Robotech intro is playing in my head right now!
-
I'm still hoping this isn't real. On one hand, there is a cool factor, but on the other it looks waaaay to Barbarella. Love her original armor and I hope they keep with it for most of the movie, but I wish they could have at least kept the pleated battle skirt rather than going with the leotard bottom.

Okay, not interested, but John Wick showing up was ACES!!
-
I'm liking the look of it. Looks like it will fit in real well with Gravity and Interstellar. I'll plunk some money down and see it in the theater.

The whole model looks great, esp the water effect. The 'exhausts' from the packs on the otherhand, are the only things I don't like. Sorry. They look more like an explosion effect, rather than an effect depicting an exhaust, and also something I don't recall seeing in the anime. In my personal opinion, I think the model would look just as great without them. And thinking about what's going on in the dio, the Valkyrie is in more of a hover rather than trying to go as fast as possible, so I would assume that the superpacks would be throttled back in this instance.

Lovely work. That is one cool looking Viper!
-
You mean from the backpacks?
-
Yeah, I preordered a couple of the Regults. Just wish the Tactical Pod was also 1/72 and not /100.

Love the light effects and the missiles flying off.

I'm actually okay with this. We may get a third WW movie with Gadot and a second (maybe a third) Aquaman with Momoa, three being a pretty good theatrical run. They can also take their time with them and not rush them, which is always a great thing. In the meantime, we finally get a Supergirl on the big screen for the first time almost forty years, including the time for the new movies production, which will also help reboot Superman and a new Batman already on the way. With Whedon pretty much screwing the JL pooch, and canning the entire Snyderverse in the offing, this is probably the best way to go. And doing so would release Jenkins from having to tie WW in at all with the previous movies. I love Gal Gadot as Diana, but I'll be just as thrilled to get a good trilogy with her in the role even if they never tie back into the Snyderverse. Too many mistakes were made to do pretty much anything else with the previous movies.

Yeah, but 'countering G-force' sounds so much better than changing the angle of the recliner.

That's a pretty cool vid! Guys got more skilz than I!! With USS Defiant off on missions, a new ship has entered the ship yard. This is the 1/1000 Sentinel class model designed by Admiral Buck on Resin Illuminati. Ugh Models was making them until they got a CnD and I managed to get a few. This one will be named the Saber NCC-2556. The main hull pieces are already together and I'm just filling and sanding, as well as mounting it. The nacelles will stay off until after paint.
-
I bought the Art of for the movie, as well as Ido's Journal. Both are pretty good books. Preordered with Best Buy.
-
Wow, the guy they go to do Robin's voice was almost spot on!
-
Yes!! Thought that was a great show and it was ended way to soon! I'm liking the look of this one, but I need a more fast-paced trailer. This tone-down one didn't do it for me. Am also wondering what happened to John and if maybe his disappearance has something to do with the new girl that Sarah says is the 'new her?' I'm guessing the whole 'mother of the rebellion' thing has been switched to someone else. And from the sounds of it, I'm assuming that Davis is playing a cyborg rather than a rogue terminator.
-
Yes!! Want this.

I still haven't watched STD... (still loving the acronym though.) They just seemed to take such a hard turn away from what had been known for decades as the visual-references for the whole Star Trek universe that it was jarring. Same universe, but everything is different! Sure, they could do style changes so it all doesn't look like 1960's Future-tech, but they didn't even do that. Do I recall correctly, that the first draft of the series was going to have a true pre-TOS look to it? Then there is the fact that Discovery is just a butt-ugly ship and the changes they made just before the show started did not help it at all. I find myself more interested in watching season 2 with Pike and just skipping the first season - if I ever decide to waste time on it. Or just waiting for a hoped for series based on Capt Pike to come out... Have to defend the JJ movies though, at least two out of three. Into Darkness was far too much of a TWoK rip-off, but the first movie and Beyond were pretty good. Except for the crappy look of the Enterprise-A...

MechTech - Great work on the windows! Suddenly got a real sense of scale. For meself, my latest build is DUN. USS Defiant returning triumphant to DS9 after a battle during the Dominion War.

Could go for!

Very true. -
They'll probably release Frozen 2 the next weekend to try and cover up this one's opening weekend...

I haven't been a big watcher of the show, but I was certainly expecting the fight against the White Walkers to be more than just one episode... I would have thought they were enough of a threat to push Dany and the others almost, or all the way back, to King's Landing before they were beat. Drawing out their defeat would balance better with the seven year foreshadowing of their crossing the wall. And consider, the Wall was made to keep them out, so if they were defeated so 'easily' (easily being subjective) why couldn't the ones who made the Wall have done it as well...? Plus, I hate that they turned Daenerys into the main villain now. I so wanted her to sit on the throne. I guess having her and Jon marry and share the Iron Throne was not GoT enough. -
Somehow.. not feeling it...

I see them having Pfeiffer as the true Mistress of Evil, but Maleficent being framed for what the 'Good' Queen is doing. Hope so anyway, unlike a lot I liked that Maleficent was only 'bad' but evil. If the first movie had been done more in line with the animated movie, I probably would have liked it too, with a full on evil Maleficent.
