  1. I would not put all of that on Nixon's head, probably not even most of it. The big recession hit in the seventies, we HAD beat the Russians to the moon and so practically nobody cared any longer, and the seeds of the Government can't do anything right paradigm were really starting to kick in then. Back to the present, every time I hear a president (either party) make grandiose claims about space exploration I cringe or laugh since it NEVER coincides with any funding.
  2. Terrible. They took what was revolutionary about the first one and turned it into the garbage of the sequels.
  3. On offset cockpit will be out of the way for loading and unloading of Cargo. Either that or WAY above the loading line. This ignores that fact that as a cargo carrying design the Falcon (old, new, mandibles, no mandibles) is just not all that great.
  4. Aren't you a little short to play Chewbacca? Sorry, couldn't resist. Looks good to me, the voice of Solo is off but we see so little of the actors it is hard to say if that is a problem or not.
  5. Nothing in that trailer really screams "Watch me!" but overall it looks like it will be an entertaining romp.
  6. YES, I have a reason to link this!
  7. On the plus side it is a comic book with no actual audio component.
  8. Thanks again guys!
  9. True - but it is where "The most devoted" RT fans go and there are at least two who LOVE the comic...
  10. If only that were true - there are at least a few on the RT boards proper saying they love it.
  11. It seems I had the wrong question. He has a model of her ship painted one color but when he looked online it was the red and blue color of My Youth In Arcadia. The question is if that particular model came in multiple color shcemes. Attaching the relevant bit of the original question to see if that helps find an answer. I need some help. Recently a good friend of mine gave me some items to do with as I wish. One item was Queen Emeraldas battleship.leiji matsumoto collection no 1 in resin so I wanted to know more about this item. So I checked eBay and found one for sale and it was identical to the one I have except for one thing,the overall color of mine is a silver color but the one on eBay is painted Red,Blue and some other colors. So I have to ask were there 2 versions of this ship? ALSO (me paraphrasing again). The model was released in 1999
  12. A fellow on a miniatures forum is asking about the color scheme from Queen Emeraldas' ship. One of the options he saw online was a Silver color. I don't remember seeing it that color before but I'm not a huge Harlock fan so may well have missed it. Can someone give me a link to post on that other site for the fellow to follow up on?
  13. I seriously doubt that Ron Howard would have taken on a project with an "unworkable" script. This sounds like someone trying to drum up drama for attention. Not saying the movie is good or bad, have to wait to see it for that but RH hasn't made a stinker yet. (Uh oh, looking through his films it seems he directed that Jim Carrey Grinch movie...)
  14. > the characterization of The Old Man as a bad guy He was the quintessential business guy - money is all that mattered. Which to me makes him a bad guy but not an evil guy. That is what was missing from his character in the second movie (the third movie was so bad I can't remember much of it and what I do remember I wish I did not).
  15. That would be GKar. Londo started out as a bafoon, turned into a douchebag, and finally a hero. In the Beginning was the best of the B5 movies even though it was just a clip show to allow people who had not seen B5 to catch up on events. Legend of the Rangers was that series pilot trial balloon on SyFy, only character from the original show on it was GKar I believe. It featured a weapons targeting system that would give the operator a heart attack in 20 minutes (really, someone ought to do a motion study for ANY device in a scifi show before they put the thing on screen). It also featured special effects that made syfy's Airwolf episodes look decent.
  16. I'm rewatching Babylon 5 on the streaming site that has it for free. The first season is even better the third time around then it was the second time around. All the little hints of future events are easier to spot.
  17. Agreed - till the very last one with Maul in it, then they nerfed him all over again. But Clone Wars and Rebels are worth watching, the last few episodes of Clone Wars being excellent.
  18. Was that supposed to be Roy next to Claudia? He got fat. Then it looks like Roy killed Global and Claudia covers it up?
  19. Where would she have learned to swim? Didn't bother me if she did swim in TLJ, I remember falling in the water but not her swimming. Rogue One Space Battle - side story and not part of the Star War "series". DYRL - I would not count that as a "Lesser" movie...
  20. I dislike the RotJ space battle, it was everything that went wrong with the series after that point. Namely that spectacle (MORE SHIPS ON SCREEN!) overtook emotional impact from then on. One big caveat though, I can't think of a Star Wars battle in any movie that did not flow well - lesser movie space battles leave me wondering what the heck is going on at times.
  21. Just saw it (yup, a little late but had a lot to do this past month). Had fun, loved the ending bits. Still far above the prequals and ROTJ, not quite as good as the original two.
