  1. And in Predator 2 the lady was not killed since she was pregnant. (*) I forget, who killed the "Doctor" in this movie (shows how great it was, I forgot already...) (*) I must point out that Predator 2 was one of the worst movies of all time and that I am ashamed to have any knowledge of it, the opening gunfight alone is even worse then the Rambo 3 opening.
  2. If non-scifi type shows are OK to list then "Boardwalk Empire" was fantastic. I don't normally like Mobster shows either. It helps that I live 10 miles from Atlantic City I guess, and visit the lake in Mays Landing where a certain important scene takes place.
  3. Best Movie - Yamato, even though I have not seen it yet... Anime Series - I'm always a couple years behind on new series. The best I saw was Full Metal Alchemist (the original, not brotherhood - have not seen that yet...) Video Game - same thing as for Anime... (Played FEAR 1 and 2 which were very good.) CD - Weird Al has not released any new CD in a few years now. Worst SciFi Movie - Don't remember watching any, but it had to be something on SciFi, and I think there was ANOTHER new SAW movie this year...
  4. Take a realistic look at any other company and you will see the exact same behaviour. Look at any movie (with some really visible exceptions) and it will get hyped beyond belief - even if it is total garbage. A studio is NOT going to tell the truth about it's product - it exists to SELL the product and that does not happen if the studio says "it's not what we really want but it's all we have the budget for..."
  5. 100% true, but they did all that stupid stuff with much more Panache - and the original was most certainly not taking itself too seriously. Besides, as my ex-governer says, "I ain't got time to bleed"
  6. Although Parris Island is certainly a bit much (don't want to kill the actors before the movie starts after all) the idea of a boot camp is not new - a two week camp was used for the "Saving Private Ryan" cast and the "Band of Brothers" cast.
  7. Thread Necromancy... Just rented it from Netflix, not bad but certainly not good. My main quible (in a movie that could be ripped apart any number of ways) was that they are on an alien planet - that had a totally different day/night cycle, and there was no obvious difference between that planet and Earth till they got out of the tree cover? An even bigger gripe is that a single Predator wiped out Arnorld's team in the first movie (and Arnold's team was badass, not like this group of goons) but in the sequal 3 tougher/meaner predators don't do any better. But for silly fun the movie it fine.
  8. They also needed to free up the cash to work on the BSG prequal. SyFy is also getting a little less SciFi every passing year.
  9. SciFi said that next season will be their last, the site said that there will be 10 episodes.
  10. Personally I thought Arnie's face looked kinda dodgy in T-Salvation (but I did like the movie overall). What they should do is re-release "The Last Starfighter" with updated computer animation, that would be worth seeing (OK - Maybe not, since the movie itself stunk)
  11. You are VERY good at your job! I don't think RT can get much less succesful and still be kicking.
  12. I've never seen part 3, but considering how much more I like Part II, versus the first part I would have to say I have no complaints about the change in art style or directors... Part II is on of my favorite Anime or all time, even the english dub where the commander of the warship was voiced by Robotech's Exedore VA was great. (I should look for that on DVD, have not seen it in 20+ years now)
  13. Finished watching the second disk yesterday, I thought it was a good show as well. And yes, Lots of sex and violence... The English cast was very good all the way through, not a stinker in the bunch. Only better English cast work I've seen is the stuff Disney brought over lately (Nausica being top notch, Howl's moving castle is excellent as well)
  14. Sentinels has been ready to go for 20+ years now...
  15. In that case, no news is good news - since that is all we ever get from HG...
  16. Beat me to the punch on that. More Yamato is always good news (it does have to improve though). Hopefully the director's cut of Rebirth will take care of the jumpiness of the plot too.
  17. That's been true for almost every game ever made, other then Counter Strike and Day of Defeat. I even remember trying to be a sniper in the original Delta Force game and getting no hits unless someone was AFK...
  18. I read somewhere else that Yamato made 11 Million USD on opening week. Is that true? And if so is that considered a lot of money in Japan? Here in the US it would be labelled a bomb for that kind of opening weekend, but I have no idea what is expected in Japan.
  19. Yes - look at the victory celebration at the end of almost any war (for the winners), WWI and WWII spring readily to mind - the most people killed in conflicts ever, up to that point and the celebrations when they were done were huge.
  20. That's easy - when I come here I know I'll be seeing things about the topic at hand, when going to facebook I see a million posts of "look at me fuzzy toes" for every one that is on a topic I am actually interested in. I suppose there may be some kind of filter to keep that from happening, but I can't be arsed to look for it.
  21. That is because they break one of Anime's unwritten rules - which paraphrased from my Mekton rulebook gooes. "Anime does not have bug like aliens, because nobody wants to kiss a bug"
  22. From the show it is obvious they must "forget" certain defenses over time - it goes without saying that they must have gone up against one of those old Zentradi battle suits before (from the episode where Alto is going through his initiation battle)
  23. Heard of it, but never saw it! This was licensed by the toy/model company that used the Robotech name to sell the models - this was before Robotech the series ever existed. (which reminds me, how did HG end up with the Robotech name - never mind, don't really want to know)
  24. No - and I just looked for the word Meisa and didn't see anything. (I can't get to youtube here at work either, have to watch that later) Besides - the whole point is to not bother me with facts! I WANT MY YAMATO MOVIE! (even if it turns into a big stinking pile of dog excrement) (side note - I did not like the new Gamilas ship designs seen in the opening battle, but I still want it)
