    Even better is the news that Funimation is re-releasing the first season, and Second Barrage.

    Well, its awfully hard to judge....anything....from that trailer, considering that its all just rapid cuts and jittery footage. But I do like the notion that the future war isn't happening the way John believed it was going to, assuming we can take his VO at face value. I mean, if they're going to do these movies (and they obviously are) then they might as well mix things up and throw something new at us. A simple, straightforward story of John Connor "teaching people to storm the camp wire and smash those motherfarters into junk" would be so predictable and fannish. And speaking of camps, the shot immediately after the T-600 shows a guy climbing out of some sort of pen, with many people below him and the same T-600 in the background.

    But it's not supposed to be an adaptation of any particular Hellboy comic. It's a new, separate story from those, and as such is not limited to whatever established continuity the comics have. If Mignola sat down tomorrow and wrote a new "Hellboy: Son of a Bitch" comic about Red & son, would you cry foul because it hadn't been featured in previous comics? Besides, Mignola worked with Del Toro on the picture and he didn't seem to have a problem with it, so I'd rate it as a non-issue.

    Quoted for greatness.

    Holy crap, I didn't even recognize that. *flogs self while rereading 1983 ROTJ Cinefex magazine*

    Burn the heretic!

    I'd heard that beforehand, and was a little worried at first. I love , but I was worried he'd play Krauss just as broadly. Thankfully he played it fairly straight and allowed the humor to come from Hellboy, where it should. I looked him up while checking on Princess Nuala, and apparently he's in a live-action Tekken for '09. I hadn't even heard of that one.

    Guh....that would be the worst thing they could do. Shoehorning in some new character from outside the existing core group solely for the purpose of answering fanwank is never the answer. Unless the plot takes a drastic 90 degree turn, the NUNS should remain anonymously in the background.

    I'm actually shocked that nobody is talking about this. I saw it last night, and while I enjoyed the first one Hellboy II is heads and shoulders above it. Del Toro has really grown as a filmmaker in the last few years, and getting sole writing credit really allowed his unique vision to make the transition from page to screen (we never liked you anyway, Peter Briggs). It's essentially "A Few Dollars More" to Hellboy's "A Fistful of Dollars." ie, more of everything that made the first one great, but with much more depth, characterization and emotion. Here's to hoping that, after Hobbit parts 1 & 2, he comes back to give us the Hellboy equivalent of "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly." I give it a solid 8 out of 10.

    Can we expect one of these topics from you each and every week, for the remainder of the series? Gosh I hope so.

    I like Jane and Perlman, but this looks like direct-to-dvd in the worst possible way. Was that even the real John Malkovich in the trailer, or an animatronic puppet that looks like him?

    Except that the only Alien film this actually happened in was Alien Resurrection, and I refuse to believe that anybody in their right mind* would want to emulate that movie. *Yoshinol-deranged or otherwise

    So now that it's all over, maybe the fault lies in the translation of Alto's line? Could he have referred to it as A Macross, rather than THE Macross? Or maybe it was just a cruel red herring, especially with the promise of Global-related shenanigans in the preview.

    Not to deride any of your well-made points, but who the hell is Song Goku? Isn't he the lead in the off-off-off-off-off-Broadway production, Dragon Ball: A Musical Experience?

    That is second in coolness only to the large scale Spinner replica that Frank Darabont shows up with on the Dangerous Days documentary.

    You took the words right out of my mouth. Live Evil does some really fantastic work, but when it comes to consistency, they're like the fansubbers version of ADD.

    Baka Updates has 'em, for one.

    Personally, I don't feel the need for anything "significant" to happen in the first place. Moreso than a lot of other prequels, anime or otherwise, Pailsen Files seems like a natural extension of the already labyrinthine conspiracy of the original. We have the same protagonist, portrayed the same way we saw him in the original series, the same mecha and art design, and even featuring some of the same music. In fact, if it weren't for the much improved animation, you'd be hard pressed to differentiate this from the original. It's not really about adding anything significant to the Votoms story, it's just more of it. I view it in the same vein as the rest of the OVAs: Some other neat stuff that happens to Chirico.

    Hint: the crash landing is no accident.
  21. bsu legato
    Episode 7 of Pailsen Files is up for download. This time out, Chirico & Co come under sniper fire when their transport aircraft makes a crash landing. Coincidence? I think not!

    Personally, if it wouldn't violate the shows internal logic in about a dozen different ways, I would love to see that. See also: My forthcoming Zentraedi fanfic The Boys From B'rzjll.

    Pretty much. It's as if everybody was on auto-pilot for this one. On the bright side, that "Complete Making Of" book rocks. Hard. If any of you have seen the "Making of Star Wars" from last year, this is pretty much the same deal. A full third of the book is devoted to Raiders, with the remainder divided up amongst the following three films. Great stuff.

    Has anyone checked out the XTREEEEEME Edition DVD yet?

    You guys do realize that Winston not only co-founded Digital Domain with James Cameron, but founded his own company Stan Winston Digital, right? Just checking, before this thread goes too far off the rails with the usual "OMG teh CG!" business.
