    Turning off the subtitles is not an option for me, other then a-sin, asharp, and a couple of other words I don't understand Japanese... My order is on the way, promised to be here no later then Tuesday.

    Yes, supposed to be a space ship - but it had concrete floors and sunlight streaming in through the windows. It also featured LOTS of people falling from ladders.

    I'm just going to buy it, watch it, then sell it. I should be able to make enough to treat it as if it were a rental. If the series is supposed to be 7 discs (if I heard that right) then future discs will need to 4 episodes in length to make it to 26 total. Are they going to put half as much money into each episode after the first couple? I hope not, the detail is excellent so far - even on what would be the second disc.

    Have to go off track a little, Baltimore MD? The group you met up with wasn't just south of there, with at least one meeting down near Virginia Beach was it? We might have met...

    The Master will not be pleased with you. Hobgoblins was bad, but I'd still have to give the (slight) edge to Manos.

    You must have had a sad life back then... (granted, could have been worse, could have been the CotB kind of sad life)

    I know what you mean, I was expecting a movie... I did not vote for things I have never seen, I admit to starting to watch that once, but it is SOOOO bad I can not vote for it, for I shall never ever watch it. EDIT - Special Mention must go to "Laser Blast", which Leonard Maltin gave 3 stars in his movie review - the MST3K crew had a whole segment listing movies that were far better which LM gave 2 stars...

    Space Mutiny. I've only ever seen it in MST3K version. I was LMAO through the thing. Captain Santa Claus - "Everyone Look lively!" Bot - "But she's dead." My worst list would be Space Mutiny Liquid Sky Manos the Hands of Fate.

    Are you sure they are spiked, they have the "Rain Caps" on the end, no ammo anywhere nearby, and the firing pins are almost certainly removed - but there is no need to actually spike the guns since they are quite harmless with no ammo around, unless they fell on someone....

    Is that any worse then changing the book's hispanic character to Mr mayonaise?
  11. Dynaman
    It just looks better and better.

    They have been, even the Iowa class ships are not really in any condition where they can be put back out to sea in any reasonable length of time. The New Jersey, in particular, is a tourist attraction anchored on the other side of Philadelphia in Camden NJ.

    I'll answer that with another question, If Goldfinger was as great as some people have indicated, why do all the sequals have nothing to do with it? No, 100% serious. CR was downright boring. Far too much exposition on Poker (or whatever boring card game they were playing). As for JB having a past, (different post), no he did not have a past, JB (the Bourne one, funny - only just noticed they share initials, should have realized since JB is another take on JB) is meant to be an anti-JB, the guy without a past working against the system, where the original JB was the guy without a past working for the system.

    Realistically the Sulaco would have had a crew to run the ship - the marines we see are the landing party rather then the Sulaco's crew. Certainly that is not the way it was depicted in the movie, but it is often cited as the unofficial canon. (non-canon canon, how fun). Some marines would have been left behind as ship's security too. (once again, even though the movie makes it plan they do not exist)

    I thought it was leaps and bounds better then Casino Royale myself. Nearly fell asleep in CR.

    > had his rage at the fanbase, he got to have his character killed off, and then what does the guy do? Yup, he NEVER should have killed off the priceline negotiator... Has for Mari, wasn't she the first (or darn near one of the first?) of the REALLY REALLY big anime VA/singers? She was young and probably took the job just to get some money and a little exposure. What she ended up with was the role that overshadowed anything else she would ever do. And unlike those that came after her she probably had no idea that the role would do that. That plus, if that post above is griping, then it is the mildest kind "I am grateful for the role, but it gets tiring sometimes", gee, sounds like something everyone can say.

    If the choice is between that and more films like Avengers, then yes, yes I do...
  18. Dynaman
    Not exactly what I said. The fact that is what movie makers and the public think movies should aspire to is the problem. There was a time when movies like this where the Saturday morning fare for the kiddies, and everyone treated it as such, while the prestige films where things like "Gone with the Wind", "Bridge on the River Kwai", or "Apocalypse Now". The summer blockbuster turned all of that around - and that is not something to be proud of.

    The Original (seventies) Superman. (minus the "Can you read my mind" song)
  20. Dynaman
    No, slam bang action is a prerequisite of a good movie, it alone does not make a good movie(*). The fact that people are willing to settle for such fare in such numbers is a sad reflection on society. (*) - Just like a decent salary is not the definition of a good job, sure a decent salary is a requirement for a good job - but it is not the definition of one...
  21. Dynaman
    That is the perfect summation of what is wrong with movies these days...
  22. Dynaman
    Of which only the Iron Man ones were any good. Hulk - both films were dreadful. Thor can be summed up as Beefy Guy grows up and accepts responsability, Captain America amounts to Wimpy guy gets buff and beats up baddies. At least Superman has to deal with ignoring his father's advice and then with having what amounts to godike powers and knowing he can't use them as he likes.

    I could I forget to list Watchmen as one of the great superhero movies? I loved it.

    There is this lovely line in "It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world" where Ethyl Mermym says "things like this happen because of people who says things like this happen when things like this happen." Or in other words, if people would stop watching mindless movies about superheroes beating each other up for no reason then movie companies would stop making them. Superman showed that it is possible to make a good Superhero picture (original Spider Man and Tim Burton's Batman as well). The problem today is the never ending desire to go further and further overboard with Special Effects. (I should add Iron Man into the good mix, it was at least a different take on Super Heroes and the Stark character is truly interesting)

    Whoops, nevermind, I was thinking Che Guevara... Hugo, although I seriously doubt is a good guy, is only protrayed as a blowhard, opinionated, vain, glory seeker here in the US, or in other words - a typical politician.
