http://masterreplicas.com/customer/communi...tail.php?id=171 A full-scale proton pack is a little larger than my interest in Ghostbusters would allow me to spend, but the ghost trap is small enough that I could find room for it. Pending a reasonable price, that is. Worst case, the product line bombs and I get one for cheap, like I picked up my Aliens motion tracker.

Need help identifying an anime.

I thought you had a thing for magical cat-girls. -

bsu legato replied to Dangard Ace's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I like your ideas and want to subscribe to your fan magazine! Perhaps they could add the additional twist of messing with the shows chronology! They could begin the show in the exact middle of the story, and then procede to tell the story simultaneously back towards the beginning and forewards to the conclusion. -

bsu legato replied to Dangard Ace's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Sounds perfect! All they need to do is to transport the setting into an alternate earth that's vaguely post-industrial revolution or early 20th century with two or more great city states in a perpetual cold war, in a kinda-sorta european hamlet. -

Could that secret heritage perhaps involve a impossibly strong, nigh-invulnerable super robot that was built by his grandfather? I don't think anime has really ever explored that idea. -

Agreed. They should really spend some time focusing on them battling the undead and/or ghosts as part time shinigamis. You know...to keep things fresh. -

Bowling Hearts AX, the thrilling second season to last year's Bowling Hearts. Its your typical High school/romance/magical cat-girl/bowling/comedy. -
What are you dressing up as on Halloween?

What's in the box? -
There's fansubs out for episode 2 now. For me, this will really determine just how much longer I watch this show.
-
So what...you want a quasi-realistic Street Fighter? I eagerly await your proposed take on the "Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku" or other signature moves.

When I said I wanted a "darker, more mature" take on the property that wasn't what I had in mind...

If anything, they have to sell the movie in spite of it being Trek. If there's any single "brand" that needs rehabilitation, it's Trek. I think you seriously underestimate the apathy that 99% of the movie-going public must feel about yet another Trek film.

It looks like we won't be seeing a He-Man movie any time soon. Now we will never get to see a realistic depiction of Teela* *Thanks to EXO for that one

There isn't nearly enough plywood in those sets. And WTF is with that snow....looks nothing like soap chips. How do they expect us to accept this as TOS era Trek if everything look real-ish? And the FLIR pods on that so-called USS Kelvin are all wrong for that mark! It's as if they don't care. You can totally tell that JJ Abrams didn't even look at the copious piles of notes that e-pundits sent him on how to do this movie right.

Film adaptation of Joe Haldeman's The Forever War.
bsu legato replied to Roger's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
OK, so one or the other is derivative, depending on which was done first. I'm still not a fan though. -

Damn, Ridley Scott is a machine. He has more films in development at any one time than some directors have in their filmography. Now, is this happening before or after he does Brave New World? And what about Blood Meridian? Edit: And that Naoyuki Katoh armor looks an awful lot like the Studio Nue Starship Troopers. I'll pass on that. -
So the first episode is out. It certainly has a LOGH feel to it, and even the story of the first episode seemed very familiar. Overall I'd say I enjoyed it enough to download the next one. If it can keep up the space opera feel without being too derivative it might well be one of the only shows I watch this season. Its certainly a welcome break from emo teenagers piloting one-of-a-kind super robots.

Calm down, fanboy. Maybe Chun Li wears contacts.

Macross Frontier Series Discussion Thread *READ 1st Post*
bsu legato replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yes of course....plead ignorance, but continue to argue the "point" regardless. I'm done with you. -
Now this interesting. A movie interpretation of Frontier? Or something the scale of DYRL? Considering that Kawamori's movie/OVA versions of Escaflowne and Aquarion were both drastically altered retellings of the story, I would fully expect Frontier to follow the same course.

Macross Frontier Series Discussion Thread *READ 1st Post*
bsu legato replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Ho-lee Christ. Are you really that obtuse? Neither of your links really address how the term is used in a narrative, either in literature or in tv/film. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring_(narrative) Therefore we can safely say that the Mao-Sheryl connection is NOT a red herring, but rather a simple narrative dead end. Now, Bilrer on the other hand, could be considered a red herring. When we first see him, everybody was convinced he was part of the then-mysterious Galaxy faction. Later, he makes some cryptic remarks about bringing the galaxy together, etc. Uh oh...it's looking like he's a bad guy. But in the end, the dude just wanted to meet Minmay. -

bsu legato replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
It would have been a red herring if Sheryl Nome was, in fact, NOT related to Mao Nome. Character with the same surname....makes a Mac Zero movie...then BAM!... not actually related. Not exactly a Shyamalanian twist, but at least that would have met the definition of a red herring. And, it would have made as much impact on the actual story as her actual relation did. -
Boba Fett's trigger discipline in the first picture is appalling.

Macross Frontier Series Discussion Thread *READ 1st Post*
bsu legato replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
lol....That's....STILL not what it means, no matter how much you want it to. And nobody is arguing that these fact were important, but rather that there was no point to them in the first place. Sheryl's relation to Mao (not to mention her producing a freaking movie based on the events of zero) could have been completely omitted from the story without making one iota of difference. Hence, the Nome connection was pointless*. Which was The Duke's point to begin with. *caveat: Maybe Kawamori has some big shocking reveal in the eventual Frontier movie. But I doubt it. -
Macross Frontier Series Discussion Thread *READ 1st Post*
bsu legato replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yes, well it's still not a red herring. I'll accept this as your unusual way of conceding the point. And the more I think about it, if I had any attachment to Mao I'd be annoyed that they reintroduce her in a photograph, only to (ostensibly) kill her off-screen. Never mind the huge disconnect between the girl we knew in Zero and the PHD-laden old lady we see in Frontier, because none of that gets explained anyway. Ah well, it doesn't really matter in the end. Sheryl's grandmother could have been named "Dr Lector" for all the difference it made in the story. At least it wasn't somebody with a really important name, like "Dr Ichijo" or "Dr Jenius."
