  1. On a side note, Valerian and Laureline was adapted into an anime by Satelight less than a decade ago, before Macross Frontier was released.
  2. Twenty years ago, French director Luc Besson (Nikita, Leon: The Professional) gave us The Fifth Element, which was actually a good sci-fi film not made in Hollywood. On July 21, 2017, he'll give us Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, a theatrical adaptation of the popular French sci-fi comic book series Valérian and Laureline (which was one of the inspirations for The Fifth Element). The film stars Dane DeHaan (Andrew in Chronicle, Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2), Carla Delevingne (Enchantress in Suicide Squad), Clive Owen (Dwight in Sin City, Mr. Smith in Shoot 'Em Up), Rihanna (overrated pop singer who helped sink Battleship), Kris Wu (some Chinese singer, as these films must somehow appeal to the Chinese market), John Goodman (Hound in Transformers: Age of Extinction, Fred in The Flintstones), Ethan Hawke (Vincent/Jerome in Gattaca, Jesse in Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight), and Rutger Hauer (Roy Batty in Blade Runner, Cardinal Roark in Sin City). Will it be as good as The Fifth Element, or will it be Jupiter Ascending bad? Only time will tell. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets @ IMDb
  3. Given that I've only worked with the N-Strike and Vortex lines, I will say that the Deploy CS-6 is the all-time worst. Six years ago, when I got the Barricade RV-10 as my first Nerf blaster, my brother was deciding between the Recon CS-6 and the Deploy. As the sales clerk demoed both blasters, the Deploy jammed right out of the box. As a result, my brother picked up the Recon instead. Aside from that jamming problem, the Deploy CS-6 fails at everything else. The transforming gimmick is useless in Nerf Wars and the flashlight is outright lousy. Of course, like all Nerf blasters, you can mod the hell out of it to get some decent range, but why waste your time on it when you can just pick up a Longshot CS-6 and mod that instead?
  4. Takara Tomy's latest Nerf commercial. Too bad the blasters in Japan cost more than twice as much with significantly shorter firing distances.
  5. Those are ancient Nerf blasters you mentioned, so he didn't include them because the technology of the '70s and '90s simply doesn't compare to modern blasters.
  6. Who didn't see this coming? Bryan Singer Reportedly Not Returning for Next X-Men Sequel; Franchise Being "Reconfigured" X-Men Reboot on the Way, Sans Bryan Singer FOX's X-Men Issues: Jennifer Lawrence Unsigned, Deadpool Defections, Gambit on Hold Is FOX Planning an X-Men Soft Reboot Already? FOX Eyes Another X-Men Reboot and Third Deadpool Movie
  7. Transformers: The Last Knight Reshoots at Paramount with Bumblebee and Isabela Moner (Ricer Warning!) Transformers: The Last Knight Director Michael Bay Takes the Autobots and Decepticons in the Medieval World
  8. To summarize: 5. Crossfire Bow / Blazefire - Never cared for it, anyway. 4. Slingstrike - Why pay for a slingshot when you can build one yourself? 3. Terradrone - I feel bad for anyone who paid money for one. 2. Barrel Break - But it looks badass. 1. Deploy CS-6 - Who didn't see this coming (other than those who predicted the Mega Centurion)?
