Star Trek Beyond (the not The Search for Spock)
Mommar replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The reasoning for Justin Lin is retarded too, they want the movie to be more like Guardians of the Galaxy... so more f.u.c.k.i.n.g. Star Wars and NOT Star Trek. At least after Into Stupid came out Orci had said he wanted a harder Sci-Fi Star Trek(whether that was true or not I don't know.) Obviously he was overridden, so might as well step into producer mode and make some money off the next wreck. -
I don't know. Was just curious. I'm not defending the wrong color, I'm disappointed it's changed from the correct color to something off. I don't know much about how factories work so I thought I'd ask about that.
-
Don't they also own their own factories where knowledge like that could be a mandatory requirement for workers as opposed to renting factory space and having to deal with whoever works there like Arcadia has to?
-
Hey Man, are we going to get some Merry Christmas SDF-1 Cruiser pics?
-
Man, I don't look forward to pre-orders.

... you must not know what singing is, just because she can belt out high notes doesn't mean she can't or isn't singing. You may not like the sound of her voice but she's not yelling, that's a pretty classically trained high note she's hitting and sustaining, and it's impressive. Even the way she holds/moves her jaw is indicative of someone who has had massive amounts of training, and except for the exceptionally high note after the bridge she's making it look virtually effortless... not the sign of someone who is yelling.

I may not like Frozen (and according to my brother it means I have a cold, dead heart... which I maintain is in keeping the title of the movie) however I can't deny Idina Menzel has a rather incredible voice. I also find it amusing every time that part of the movie comes on my little niece tries as hard as she can to sing along.

The Chewie figure is exactly the same as the recently released Black Series Chewbacca.

I'll bet you're right, the factory guys don't know what they're doing. Obviously Arcadia had it right so they know what they were going for. Even though this is the "final" production model that doesn't mean they can't get back to the factory and ask them why they can't figure out the saturation... hopefully, anyway. It's not a bad color as is, but disappointing after the corrected photoshop pics.
-
No saggy neck though.
-
This is all lame whining. Everything you want explained was done in other materials that weren't part of the films. Nowhere did they explain opening the wings helped the lasers converge or dissipation of heat in the movies. That was all EU stuff... which doesn't count anymore (if it ever did) anyway. So the original handwave isn't even a handwave.
-
It's a joke based on how many years it took them to re-release the Ozma 25 already.
-
You keep talking about it like it's some sort of personal ego trip for some guy who designed the new X-Wing rather than "we need tweaks to these older designs, come up with stuff and we'll pick the best looking one." As a matter of fact I just gave you the handwave, they needed something new but not for marketing and this is what they settled on.
-
Nah, I don't like that movie.
-
So here's the two main reasons they changed the X-Wing. 1) It's thirty years later and if they used the exact same design people would think they were being lazy, they would want to know why there weren't new fighters but if they completely removed the most iconic fighter for something new people wouldn't like that either because most people only say they want "change" when reality they want something very similar/familiar... which this will be. 2) Merchandising, now they have a NEW X-Wing to sell (Hasbro/Lego/etc...) If it looked like the old X-Wing nobody would need the new Lego kit. It still fits the Lucas parameter for Star Wars to a T, it doesn't make any real world sense (nor does it need to) and it's rife with merchandising opportunities. Get over it.
-
Given that it's Ozma I wouldn't expect a re-release until 2018.
-
Unlike the JJPrise I'm going to maintain to the last the new X-Wing looks good.
-
It doesn't look awkward or off balance at all to me. I like the staggered look of the wings.
-
But it's different, and different is scary.

May cause sneezing, tiny scratches and erectile dysfunction.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Coming May 2, 2014
Mommar replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This would be a good idea, they would actually KNOW how to make a decent Marvel movie, they've already made one of the best for Marvel. -
Damn, well it was a good idea but notching it with an x-acto blade or razer hasn't made a dent. I'll have to see if I can track down some sort of rotary device.
-
I'll try this. Thanks for the idea.

This is a helluva example of putting all of your eggs in one basket. Also, why are all of these files just floating about in e-mails and not all in links to other secure servers on particular locked-down networks with special passwords for said networks? Have they not heard of layers for security purposes? All the hackers might've got then were a few bits and bobs of business info and some throw-away temporary passwords for all of the real data that *should* have been changed once read.

I'm with Duke, the original Trilogy doesn't need to be rebooted in any way. Having two Death Stars makes perfect sense from a modern spacecraft design standpoint anyway. Typically the first one is proof of concept and the second one is built on the lessons learned from the first in a more streamlined capacity, which is precisely what happened in the movies (this happens with lots of other engineering projects as well.) Besides, why not have the ability to blow up two different planets at the some time rather than just one?
