    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.

    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

    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

    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)

    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)

    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

    > 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.

    The title alone puts me off ever seeing this.
  9. Dynaman
    300 was garbage, no suprised to see they are making more. (garbage that is)

    > Are the follow-up movies any good? They are great - but they are a retelling of the story rather then follow on movies.

    I have got to see this. Depression is the whole point of Evangelion...
  12. Dynaman
    BARELY better. Besides, pointing out that is missing the main point, PS4 costs less.
  13. Dynaman
    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)

    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...

    I hope it keeps picking up steam. I would love to see what they do with a Yamato 2 remake.

    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.

    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.

    Everyone here should know that is a YAMATO tradition and JJ stole it.
  19. Dynaman
    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)
  20. Dynaman
    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)

    If she is I did not catch the reference, last I remember she was stuck in E-Space.[edit] - I see that some DW books pulled her out of E-Space, but I have no idea if they are considered Cannon or not.

    > There is talk of it being a woman........... There has been talk of that since the eighties, and it would be a BAD idea. They want a woman they should bring Romana back and give her a show for a season (they have an excuse, she is in an alternate dimension).
  23. Dynaman
    True enough on how the show unfolds. But if some of these major plot lines are not tied up somehow by the end of the story I will take a hating to the whole thing. Characters whose story arcs don't seem to be going anywhere (Arya, Bran, Dany). Arya deserves a medal for all the stuff she has gone through so far...

    The Village, I knew the "twist" almost instantly. The modern glass in the windows, and SIgourney Weaver's glasses, were dead giveaways. The only thing keeping me guessing was the normal hollywood glitch (is that a clue? Or did the set dresser not know what he was doing?). The film itself was OK, nothing great. The Happening was decent fun, not bad but not great, I would not call the ending any kind of twist though.

    I've read through the end of book 3 and started book 4. Don't worry, the bad guys do not "win". (Nobody wins or loses all the marbles as such) I certainly hope the epilogue of book 3 ends up being shown in the final episode for this season... It is also very hard to say who the good guys really are, Tyrion is neither good nor bad, same can be said for Jaime. The other "Kings" are a mix as well. Since the book/show is based on actual history it should be expected that there is no clear good/bad guys - or winners/losers. (I heard the Red Wedding was based on some event called the Red Dinner - now I will have to get a history book on the subject)
