  1. Darth Maul was the best! Mainly since he had the least dialog...
  2. If I were hungry enough I would sell her for a loaf of bread too though. Macross Plus in 3D I would go see, along with DYRL, or Frontier, or Yamato - any of them in 2D or 3D at a theater would be great, but it doesn't happen anywhere closer then NYC for me.
  3. "The Last Starfighter", modern computer graphics would be good for it, and I don't think it could get much worse plotwise. Sort of related, the recent "Clash of the Titans" got sour reviews but it was really no worse or better then the original. A few Japanese sci-fi movies from the late seventies and early eighties, I remember one that had sparklers on the back of a spaceship. The live action Yamato shows that the Japanese can do spaceships now. "Green Slime" might be a good contender - even though I liked the original
  4. Heard about this earlier, glad to see it is still on the radar.
  5. And we complain about the robotech wallet being a ripoff...
  6. Just read about this on sci-fi, and it sounds like "it's an alien movie, but we don't want to call it an alien movie". The mumbo-jumbo to actual information meter went off the scale... http://blastr.com/2011/01/that-alien-prequel-is-not.php Really hard to say what this will be, so far it sounds like an alien movie in everything but name.
  7. Nah, Darth Barf - too bad John Candy will not be able to voice him... (He would be the evil half man half dog, his own best friend - very handy in the Star Wars universe.)
  8. Ditto, I thought it was a decent enough popcorn flick (nowhere near the same class as Aliens or Predator, but decent). I refused to see a movie that had a promo showing the facehuggers bursting into a pregnancy ward, if a movie has to stoop that low in and advertisement, then I know full well it is not for me...
  9. Looks like the Film is still holding it's own. Now, when is it getting to the US? http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/?yr=2010&wk=53&p=.htm
  10. No, the film was *really* bad - the single most important thing in that movie was Palp (love that shorthand btw) trying to turn Luke, but it was handled so terribly it was laughable. That plus the lightsaber fighting was atrocious. The only reason it is not the worst film in the franchise is Episode 1 and 2 came later...
  11. I did (second) for two reasons. 1 - The poor guy doesn't get enough love. 2 - He is a man of great passion, for food, and the other thing... 3 - He is the Macross character probably closest to myself, sadly.
  12. There was no option for "It is GI - Joe, which means it can't possibly be good."
  13. Only problem is that Luke did not kill Vader, Vader killed himself chucking ol grumpy face down the energy thingamajob.
  14. That would wrap it up in one more movie, so probably too much to ask for. (considering it takes em 20 years between releases...)
  15. There is a chance it will be good, I mean, for every 1000 "The Day the Earth Stood Still" remakes there is 1 "Shop around the Corner" remake...
  16. Tat's "Big Brother" in these here parts.
  17. Only problem is that Zombie is looking in the wrong place...
  18. The Star Trek franchise had nothing to do with the syfy network though, except in reruns.
  19. Then we have a difference of opinion and I'll leave it at that.
  20. I'd like to see more shows done in the anime tradition of a single season or two as well. If the show does well then the writers can leave a hook for a second season and a third, but get the main plot for each season done. Best example of this being done in the US would be the first season of Heroes (I try to forget it had more then that)
  21. Which is exactly my point, even the movie with the best 3D to date was not really ready. As I said before, trying to look at anything other then the focus of the action caused a headache as things could not be focused on - and that is just not natural. It can be argued that 2D regular movies are not natural either, but our brains (at least mine) does not get a headache trying to watch them (unless they go for the other gimick that is currently in style, namely using too many fast cuts of too limited a duration - but that is a seperate topic)
  22. To be fair, till the collapse of the Japanese economy they were thought of the same way. (as proof I put into evidence that terrible late eighties movie where a Japanese car company bought a US auto-maker, I think it starred Jim Belushi)
  23. You really ought to check out their website. Something called Stargate Resistance was released, but it is getting shutdown in a couple weeks. Other then that there is nothing new on their news pages since early January of 2010 - so it's best to count it as dead.
  24. Both color and sound were added long before any type of home viewing was possible, excepting the filthy rich who could afford a home theater. THX, I could never really tell the difference between a movie with it and a movie without it. The main problem with 3D is they are STILL pusing it too early, stereoscopic works for viewmaster pictures but watching a movie in 3D for a couple hours - when you are forced to focus your eyes where the film decides you will focus them does not work. A well done movie can get around the problem to some extent, but even Avatar got on my nerves when I tried to focus on things other then the main part of the action.
  25. You'd be surprised by the way we sometimes go overboard disecting it...
