    Noooooo.... Only sortof a joke, those monitor images (especially the targetting screens) are fine. A targeting unit should display the essential information and nothing else - those do that perfectly well.

    Which one, he had two (if the more recent one got off the ground). Back in the early eighties there was "K-9 and Company", where Sarah Jane was given a K-9 by the Doctor. It only ended up being a TV movie rather then a show, and downright horrible it was. The recent show I have not seen.

    True - but Lucas' claim that he had this "Grand" story already done and ready to go, but he had to pare it down to just Star Wars doesn't hold up, the particular rewrite we are talking about is not a minor consideration but the core of the "Grand Story" that was to come later. I have no doubt Lucas had lots of ideas and a basic outline in his head of what he wanted - but that is not nearly the same thing as nearly finished story just needing the final touches. By the time RotJ was filmed everything was more of less pinned down, not before though.

    I don't know about the specifics of this game, but many times this is done so the game can get released in Germany without needing to remove all the nazi symbols. It is possible to get exceptions (for historical documentary purposes, etc...) but it is an expensive pain in the butt from what I've heard. The Indy games, not being truly historical, would have a hard time getting the exception to begin with.

    Never heard of that before - more proof that his great story only came about after the success of Star Wars - the entire prequal trilogy is about Vader's rise and fall (and eventual redemption), none of which fits in with the original Star Wars in any way. Noooooooo......

    No not really, it is how he has convinced himself that he really thought they should be. Although he did have a grand over-arching story of which the original Star Wars was 1/3 (not 1/6) of the plot - the story at that time was very different, the Imperial family (of which Leia was directly related in earlier drafts) were all psionic users - and well known for being so (including leia). For proof of this see the early screentest footage (with Lucas' original abysmal dialog). So Lucas had ideas in his head, but those ideas were modified over time, especially in regards to Vader and Luke - Vader was NOT Luke's father in the original Star Wars, that idea only came up for the second movie (otherwise Ben would have used a better line then "he betrayed and murdered your father", maybe something more like "He betrayed the Jedi and destroyed the man that was your father")

    No need to get angry, just don't buy it - THAT will send a message that George will pay attention to. (well maybe, he is getting delusional - he actually seems to think his newer stuff is good)

    Are you Smegging nuts?

    Darn you! Now I want to see it.

    I'm sure G4 really didn't care if she was faking or not, strangely that is what actors get paid to do. (only person on the entire G4 staff that I think *REALLY* likes games is Adam Sessler - they fired off all the rest. And yes I am a grumpy old fart after they killed off "The Screen Savers" - the REAL one that is).

    The new BSG has been the best. Runners up (some merely for age, rated within what was on at the time they would be best.) Twilight Zone (really, neck and neck for the top spot, if for no other reason then "it's a cookbook!") Star Trek (TOS, others were good but TOS was the best) B5 (budgets and first season knocked it from top spot, Gkar and Londo almost make up for that though, incredible characters with great performances) Firefly (just didn't last long enough, movie was great too) Macross Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood Space Battleship Yamato (second season) Quark (Terrible, Terrible, show - good lord how I loved it) Buck Rogers (ok, it stinks too, but the female lead could easily have Played Misa in a live action Macross...)

    Hell, there have been so many "parodies" of it I can't even remember what the original was anymore. (I do remember Larry Hagman doing his take on the "who shot JR" scene)
  13. Dynaman
    Yes. (but it really depends on who is the designated "creative director" of the day)

    Time to pull out the "Demon Donkey" pic from the Engrish thread...
  15. Dynaman
    They are funny, they are horror, but they are not parody - they don't really make fun of horror movie tropes. Not like the "Scary Movie" did (I did not see "Scary Movie", or any of the other "Movie" titles - the ads alone are enough to tell me that I would NOT like them)

    I'm getting a very BAD vibe looking a those pics - it's like deja vu all over again... (and I did not need a remake of Alien, thanks but no thanks)

    I'm finally watching the rest of FMA: Brotherhood on Hulu. Excellent show (everyone knows that already of course). I'm even sticking with the English cast - they did a great job on it as well.

    3 2 1 is after my time, I grow up on Zoom. (which technically was not science, but I'm sure that someone was using controlled substances when coming up with the show) Bill Nye and Beakman's World were great stuff though. Who can forget Bill's theme music? (at least the Bill Nye part...)

    This is not about Apes, but chimps - and recent studies find them to be roughly twice as strong as humans. Interesting info about more recent studies and a couple DNA differences are pointed out as well. Mostly it boils down to differences in muscle layout. http://www.slate.com/id/2212232/

    He looks like he was out drinking the night before...

    Far more importantly, most audiances do not have a feel for the real mechanics of flight - and would find an authentic dogfight boring and slow. Let's not forget that most "dogfights" were nothing of the sort either - fast planes would make a quick pass, then turn around realllll slow and far away and do it again. It was only when the inexperienced (or foolish) with the less manuevarable plane tried to get in to turning fight that a dogfight occured. (one caveat - a poor soul with a slower AND less manuevarble plane was really out of luck)

    From the title I was wondering how they could do a sequal to Cosmos now that Carl Sagan is gone...
  23. Dynaman
    The movie can end in 1945, the bomb on the Enola Gay gets stuck and he is wearing a cowboy hat...
  24. Dynaman
    It is not the greatest show on TV, but it beats the heck out of Syfy's "reality" lineup... If it gets cancelled I will not be mourning the loss (I won't be cheering like I was for the cancellation of Flash Gordon though.) Probably Deja vu, I don't remember it having any previews. It doesn't help that it had a kind of bland opening reminiscient of just about every paranormal person show ever made...

    The Star Blazers website has reported that an official English Sub of the movie will be released, In Australia, in December. There will never be a Dub of this movie either, the actor playing Kodai has a clause in his contract stating that no one else is allowed to dub his voice. Info is available on the Star Blazers website. So with the subtitled version already there it would not take a whole heck of a lot of work to release for the US region. Hope it happens sometime soon.
