Agreed. The potential for fu*kupery is just too great with a contraption like that. In fact--with something like that in the room: just find yerself a lean-to at a table in a corner somewheres with a couple of brews; just wait an' see what sh*t happens.

I shudder to think of the stated insurance value for this little parade lap session...

Seriously? Is this guy doing a bit?

Is there a little hint of this in that concept design, perhaps? Always liked these tough lookin' little buggers, when properly modded...

I suppose it's a good thing I hadn't seen this before our flight... Fu**it--we're still going again next year.
-
Good God---why is this not more widely known?! Okay, granted: it was 40+ years ago now... But nevermind that Hollywood bullsh*t; where's some actual footage?

Took my son to the air show this weekend. Sorta on the spur of the moment, went on Sunday as well as Saturday. Took a ride on a Huey--worth every cent. As we walked out to load on the chopper, I was thinking: man, this is a mistake; you're gonna scare the boy to death, he's only 6. Hell, the boy's even more insane than me, it appears. Grinned from ear to ear the whole time, an' all he could say during and after the flight was: "isn't/wasn't that awesome, dad? aren't you glad we did this? that was so awesome!" It was hard not to well-up a little as I shook hands and thanked the pilot & crew afterwards. They sat us in the gun-well; I finally got to see if from my father's point of view.

Aw, it wasn't so bad. Some of the dialogue struggled--but it still had me LOL'ing more than once. It was easily about as good as anything you'd get from an episode of Family Guy or South Park.... --"...I can't wait to see it, what are you gonna call the film?" --"I want ass, the motion picture! Hah ha ha hah ha!" --"oh God!" *haaalllgggh* I must say: I'm not exactly a fan of this whole re-releasing-classics-in-HD trend. It shows up all the flaws, pits, scratches and pot marks in every set piece, costume and actor's face that previously would have gone unnoticed. Kinda ruins the magic, ya know? But there is one redeeming aspect to it all--just remember: Carrie Fisher's not wearing any underwear beneath her costume, 'cause Lucas convinced her there wouldn't be any need for bloomers in space. -
I made it through one segment, but didn't bother to come back after the commercial break. A bit on the "dafuq is this?" side.

So much awesomeness is better taken-in in half-hour increments. Too much in one sitting, and you risk overloading the viewers' brains, frying some cells or something.

Ahahahahaha! *screeee--wham!* --"Ooh! I just fu**ed this thing up pretty bad. That's a problem..." --"...Watch the exit on this right turn. Wall comes up quick." Yeh. Sorry GM. Didn't mean to demonstrate yer car's an understeering pig that's gonna plow the sh*t outta whatever's in its way when drivers get in over their heads. Which they inevitably will.

Seconded!

Hear hear!

You know what. ____ you, Hollywood. ____ you, right in the ____.

As for those guys... meh, fu*k them they don't know what they're talkin' about.

That was friggin' awesome.

Damned hot little number, that Merc.

The more trailers they release, the more I think: I bet the guys at Asylum Films are going "you know what, fu*k it. Just. Why bother." This is looking more and more like a mockbuster of the original all the time.

Well, unless Milius is directing this one too, big ol' meh. Wait--he's not retired/dead/blacklisted/etc, is he?

*prepares to dodge politically-correct tomatoes & pitchforks* I suppose if you really wanted to make a statement, you could go see it in one of those "Iron my shirt, bi*ch" t-shirts. But really. 'ew the fu*k is Eve Ensler? Not trying to be a smartass; I'm not familiar with her or that work.

I appreciate and applaud the obvious effort that goes into the production, I'm glad there's still some folks out there doing it old-school, and trying to do it well. I can't say I'm a fan of the--how shall we say--overly emotive(?) style of character animation though. Makes 'em look like they're having muscle spasms or something. And can we say: jiggly boobs? Dale looks like she's about to start tearing soft tissue.

I skimmed Russ Fischer's review, and I must say: I am intrigued. After getting past the sh*ts-and-giggles stage of seeing all that action and violence--and that bada$$ muthafu**in' car--as a kid, I came to appreciate the first 2 for the great movies that they are, warts and all. For me, it's the amazing amount of effort and attention to details that Miller et al put into those films that have made me come to appreciate them on a whole different level. From the characters' dialogue, that isn't too wordy but still speaks volumes as to their relationships to each other, like Charlie and Roop; to their wardrobe and makeup, like Toecutter's gang's tattoos, or the evolution and continuity of Max's uniform from the 1st film to the 2nd--a lot of it is so subtle or seen so briefly that it really takes multiple viewings to catch it all. But it all works towards fleshing out the world the characters are in, helping fill in the backstory so that it lends their world a depth that a lot of other movies can't match. Fischer's review reads as though Miller has once again brought this herculean effort and attention to detail to his latest outing, and I'm actually considering going over to the theater across the street after work to check it out, come this Friday.

Dafu*k is that? Turd brown?

Okay, as luck would have it, The Lost World: Jurassic Park aired on TV again a few nights ago, so I got to re-watch it. I take back my previous post. I was wrong. It was so bad (compared to the book).
