  1. Wife wants to see this - so going on Sunday. I'll let everyone know what I think. As for the RedFace, considering what these guys did to the Pirate Genre, what more did anyone expect?
  2. Some dinosaurs had two "brains", one in the head and one in the tail. The theory I had read was that they were large enough that a signal from the head would take too long to reach the tail (before something bit it, etc...). Since modern whales are larger then any Dinosaur ever was I call phooey on that.
  3. > Terrorist tortures President and Cabinet into revealing access codes for all nuclear silos so they can self-destruct them and nuke the entire country: CHECK Unless they managed that within about 5 seconds it would not have done them a lick of good, I doubt it would have done any good within 5 seconds either. As soon as anyone knows that the president was kidnapped those codes would have been changed. Then again, why am I trying to apply logic to this I don't know...
  4. I would not be concerned based on anything in that "article" at any rate. Basically it is a bunch of people saying things about the process rather then anything about the film in particular. Looks like a piece someone puts together on a REALLY slow news day. That said, I personally think this may be a flop - but the buzz around me has been positive so far.
  5. Your not the only one, I love that show.
  6. I don't think we have to worry about another big budget Will Smith and kid thing again., plus Will not being in this one (so far). Have to agree on furballs, need more of that.
  7. I vote for this version of Optimus Prime. http://www.blastr.com/2013-6-24/optardis-prime-greatest-thing-3-d-printer-has-made-so-far
  8. Just saw the movie last night, although I'm happy I waited to rent it on Netflix it was a solid B movie. All the FX could have been done old school (not saying they were, just that none of them were so over the top that they could not have been done with traditional methods). The plot, acting, and dialog were solid B movie fare and it never seemed to drag. So I recommend it as a rental. (if one were to actually break down the plot it would make no sense at all - just go with the flow) one thing I have to mention
  9. It does not - roughly half the book is in the third season. There is also some stuff in the later books that makes it into the third season as well though. (on the fifth book now)
  10. I liked the time hopping, I don't think I could have kept awake through another Superman growing up sequence. The flashbacks made the background bearable. The 79 (or so) Zod was a doofus compared to this one, a cardboard cutout bad guy. The fights in this one did last too long but at least they did not look cheesy - like the ones in Superman 2 (FX just were not up to the job back then)
  11. The voices for Grant and Lunk were established well before this show, having the VA change either one would be a problem. Having them in the same episode - also a problem. Similar thing goes for Scott Bernard's Fiance and Lisa Hayes, which might be one reason why Lisa did not make an appearance in Shadow Chronicles. Good thing HG does not have the ability to use later Macross series or THIS might actually have come to pass... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkHBh5x8GOg
  12. > Actually, the first film was rather accurate, even if certain... "liberties" were taken with the details. Some of those liberties include. 1 - Ignoring the hundreds/thousands of allies the Spartans had. (thousands if including everyone on their side at the battle, hundreds if just including those in the rear guard) 2 - Making them nearly naked, they wore heavy armor. 3 - They fought in a formation called a phalanx, if they had fought as depicted in the movie they would have been annihilated in minutes. A movie CAN be totally unrealistic and fun (Inglorious Bastards and Dirty Dozen come to mind) but 300 was nothing but garbage. Trying to take it serious at ALL is a very bad idea.
  13. 300 was garbage, no suprised to see they are making more. (garbage that is)
  14. > Are the follow-up movies any good? They are great - but they are a retelling of the story rather then follow on movies.
  15. I have got to see this. Depression is the whole point of Evangelion...
  16. BARELY better. Besides, pointing out that is missing the main point, PS4 costs less.
  17. Sony didn't destroy MS, MS did that all by itself. Sony really took the lesson of the PS3 to heart(*) while MS went into lala land. (*) - Better features and specs mean nothing if your console costs $100 to $200 more then the competition. Magnify that by MS jumping too soon on DRM and you have a disaster. (Yes - jumping too soon. Sony will be doing pretty much the same thing by the time the PS5 comes along, by then most sales will be online and tied to some kind of service though - and publishers will lead the way by only offering future titles by download)
  18. Me Too! I'll be reading reviews to see if it as drawn out as the first one, if so I'll wait for the DVD...
  19. I hope it keeps picking up steam. I would love to see what they do with a Yamato 2 remake.
  20. You complain that I'm mixing books and movies about the same topic and then bring King Kong into it? I think agreeing to disagree is best.
  21. And in neither one did women make much of an appearance. Window dressing at best. The Hobbit was certainly a better read then LotR. As for sales being an indicator of the book being boring or not - I said boring, not non-innovative. Good old Tolkien loved to go on for pages on end about some knot on a tree BORING! Just like Lucas he is remembered more for the vision then the execution of his work.
  22. Debatable at best. That Kirk was older and had more experience under his belt. On the plus side for the next ST movie is that it will have a new director (and writers I presume, the other ones seemed to be JJ's crew as well) - whoever gets the nod will give us a good idea of what the next film will be like (unless the director is an unknown of course)
  23. Considering JRR didn't seem to know what a woman was, let alone how to write one, I don't consider this a problem. (sorry guys but as literature LotR is downright boring - then again, the first Hobbit film certainly dragged along too)
