    In the action presented on screen, yes. Most of the time it is physically within the realm of the possible for the human body to withstand the stunts that were seen in Roger Moore's movies, the stunts (or should we say, CGI) seen at the start of CR were impossible. No human can jump as far down as the characters did and not have two broken legs (at least). Even worse - they REPEATEDLY jumped that far. And since we brought up Roger "The Spy Who Loved Me" is the best Bond movie ever. Possible exception of Goldfinger of course. He did have a lot of stinkers, "Golden Gun" being a dreadfully boring mess, not to mention the abomination that was his final outing...

    I didn't see Quantum in the theaters due to hating Casino Royale so much. I thought Quantum was a far better movie. Maybe I'm getting old, and tired of way way way WAY WAY over the top action sequences - the chase at the start of Casino was so obviously impossibly fake I just started laughing. Follow that up with the interminable gambling scenes where I nearly fell asleep from boredom and you have the formula for a bad movie experience. Quantum appears to have learned from the mistakes and made the action more believable - for a Bond film that is (no Bond film is believeable of course, but there is a tipping point that Casino went way over)

    They are rushing it out before the you know what picture gets released...

    Finally got to see the add, I'm already worried that it will have too little actual Muppet presence... Nothing wrong with Amy Adams, she was great in the movie Enchanted.

    It did pretty terrible in it's second week in the US. There is a chance it will bounce back this coming weekend though.

    I can't watch the trailer here at work, but the Muppets can do no wrong. (only thing wrong with most of the Muppet movies has been the Muppets not getting enough screen time over their human costars, with the exception of the original Muppet movie, oh and Rizzo the Rat has to go)

    Protip2 - Just because they know about it does not mean I approve of letting them wallow in it. The kid at the sports game? It should be legal to slap the parents if they did not discipline him. Then again I'm one of those cavemen that think indecent exposure (kids with their underwear showing), public cursing, and public intoxication should be finable offenses.

    The creators of Battletech simply stole all their (good) designs, at least HG did purchase the rights to SDFM.

    Just went to see it today, gonna have to buck the trend and say it was pretty boring. Yelling - check Fighting - check Running - check Lame jokes - check fun, nope.

    If anyone is on dodgier ground then HG though, it's the creators of battletech.

    It was also low budget, which is the main reason it was shot at night, in back alleys, and parking garages. It's a good thing Stan Winston was such a genius with making low budget look good.

    It should have been PG-13, just for Spridle giving someone the bird.

    My personal favorite was the one from the seventies, which was very Tongue in Cheek. I halfway remember the ninja moves one (fleeting images of it in my brain). The Keifer one, all I could think of while watching the first couple minutes is the version from the seventies. If you want to see a Dumas book done right, watch the French version of Count of Monte-Cristo (Christo?) with Gerard Depardiue (I spelled that wrong too). That is excellent, while the US movie version sucks (both of the ones I've seen).

    I'm sure they have a contract to animate the whole thing, but it is standard practice to animate part of it, check it for any problems and correct them before finishing. This is part of what makes the excuse for the SC animation "proportions" a joke, HG HAD to have seen test footage of the characters before giving the OK to animate the entire thing. The alternative is they had no idea what they were doing.
  15. Dynaman
    Your reading more into what was said then what was said. They had some test footage done (could have been in house but does not have to be), they like what they see and are ordering more. Either you are much better at wry humor then I, or you are taking my joke too seriously. As for why they did not follow up SC with this new project more quickly, my guess is that despite the claims that the RT staff knows what they are doing - they thought that the live action movie was going to be out by now and didn't want anything they did getting in the way.

    I think I understand their reluctance to show cells of the movie while it is in production, If they show one new cell a month during that time the whole movie would be on the web before it got released...

    Just watched a promo clip for "The Three Musketeers" on TV last night (Comcast on Demand, movie previews section). First off, they specifically refer to it as a "Reboot", I'm getting sick of that word - how the H*LL do you reboot a book? A new movie is just another movie based on the book, NOT a reboot. Then on to the movie itself, it appears that they had to add in giant flying boats and ninjas, and Constance (I think it's her) is now a swordswoman... Why did they even bother calling it "The Three Musketeers"? PASS

    I thought it was Billy and the Boingers' "You Stink, But I Love You"

    His most violent movies were rated R, which a minor could not get into legally without an adult. Putting the same restriction on video game sales is a good thing - perhaps it will clear up the amount of foul mouthed "dialog" that gets thrown into videogames simply to get it that coveted M rating.
  20. Dynaman
    The major problem with that is nobody watched it... (Don't be upset, by my definition I'm nobody too)
  21. Dynaman
    I did that with Ultraman way back when, now I watch it and laugh since the monster has a zipper in the back and slippers on... Nothing wrong with a good scare - if it is too scary they kid can always turn off the TV. I've got a problem with the foul language that seems to be required these days though.

    Robot Chicken, I have never seen a Robotech reference on the show, that says something about the actual cultural impact and popularity of Robotech I think. (sadly there have been no Star Blazers references either)

    Don't forget Peter and David did a special together as well. It's floating around on the web somewhere. The writing of the episode was not the problem, it just didn't seem to gell for some reason. I think part of it is the character chemistry is a bit off, no offense to the guy playing Rory - but the show is better off without that character.

    All the elements of what should have gone into a good Who story were there, but it left me cold for some reason. I'm still watching Who each week but I'm afraid the show is in a slow period. (and I'm not a Matt Smith hater, I think he is OK - it's just hard to follow a REALLY popular Doctor and get a fair shake, just ask Peter Davison)
  25. Dynaman
    Not really, look what happened to scifi (er, syfy). I don't watch the reality crap on there - but more and more of it keeps appearing each season. Quantum Kitchen anyone? I guess I should be fair, there was no idiotic animated sitcom on syfy this season (unless I blocked it out after that outer space astronauts things from last year)...
