  1. Yukikaze is not dead! Platz releases a 1/144 kit of the Hammerhead/Flip Knight: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10200575 I hope it includes the laser and the generators, as the CG illustration does not show them.
  2. It started already a month ago: http://gundamguy.blo...-parody-by.html Oh and MG Nu 2.0:
  3. The FM Falcon is one of the greatest kits in SF modeling history, and you really did it justice. Congratulations!
  4. If not, the solution lies in painting the thing black.
  5. It would have been too cool to go the anti-"futuristic comic superhero" way (not that I ever expected that). (Watch Tempbot for a similar approach) But why has every piece of SF hardware have to look so generic these days? The last design that really impressed me was the Nu Galactica.
  6. With Shaw being infertile, the squid might as well be a sole product of Holloway's infected body that just needed a womb to grow. Did anybody notice if the frescos in the ampule room change into something specific when the humans enter, or are they just decaying?
  7. If you need a bioweapon to eradicate humanity, a stable Ebola/Marburg virus would surely be more cost effective... On the other hand, maybe the goo has the potential to turn every form of life on a planet into a destroyer of it's own kind. Within the movie, the concept seemed underdeveloped, when the effect of the goo only led to generic rubber-mask zombies. The Trilobite birth direction was better, but the scene was not handled too well in terms of pacing, when in the following sequence with Weyland awakening the movie lost momentum again. Too many potentially epic moments wasted is my main beef with the movie.
  8. Remember that one good sequence from the first Appleseed movie?
  9. Maybe we go to the cinema for different reasons. When I watch a Guy Ritchie film or even the latest Bond, it's not really important which absurd contrivance they're selling as a story this time, but the magic lies in the in-movie universe, the style, the interaction of the cool dudes in a world of mindless violence. There, Tank Girl & Flux had the potential, colorful universes and vivid characters, a goldmine for talented screen writers and directors. The Flux movie even had the looks and a plot that would have worked in the hands of the right people. Well, both franchises ended up with untalented directors, under inspired actors and just the right studio interference to finish them off for good. In Martin's own words: Considering the recent devolution, a remake is inevitable anyway.
  10. Superb Work! Makes me want to get one of the old 1/144s and mod the hell out of it.
  11. Mining source material that is all about style and attitude for full-feature plot lines is missing the point. Do you listen to rock music for the lyrics alone?
  12. So someone made a full-length feature from Neill Blomkamp's viral for Adidas?
  13. Ok it's up for preorder. Official prince is (ouch) 7800 Yen, but it's down to 5850 at Hobbysearch. Awesome details on the kit, check out the new pictures here
  14. So you thought the Collector's Edition was the end of all things Blade Runner? Make Room for the Anniversary Collector's Edition:
  15. I stumbled upon this nice CG illustration of Algerian Superhinds. You can see their big brother (Mk IV) in action in the movie "Blood Diamond".
  16. Both the Aeon Flux and the Tank Girl movie rank pretty high on my "Wasted Opportunities" list. High potential source material diluted for the masses. Reboots to the rescue, please. (Well, Tank Girl did at least get a comic reboot, with mixed flavors)
  17. Eww, this looks as true to the source as a Nickelodeon version of "Apocalypse Now" would.
  18. It doesn't get much weirder than this one... MiG-25 Flight von MiGFlug Warbird Rides auf Flickr
