  1. Neat looking but bound to suck knowing Palladium's & Harmony Gold's records.
  2. 4 out of 5 stars. That means I've got an 80% approval rating. You other 20% can just suck it.
  3. It was an entertaining movie with a ton of things that didn't make sense. I think the weakest part of the movie was the whole Ninja story. President Zartan plotting stuff with Cobra and The Rock & Wonder Woman on the run was good stuff. But the Ninja story. It was weak, didn't feel like it belong with the rest. Would have been better if the Ninjas were in their own separate movie or instead of using the Red Ninja temple and Ninja court they should had Snake Eyes and Jinx just follow them to a Cobra Base after the prison breakout and confront Storm Shadow there.
  4. Saw it earlier tonight. I noticed that many scenes feature in the trailer doesn't even appear in the film. There's also a scene (shown in bts reel) of all the Joes trading shots with Cobra on the helicopter.
  5. No none at all but I do require that we cuddle afterwards.
  6. Every person here is welcome to express their willingness to have sex with me.
  7. As a kid I knew professional wrestling was fake but not GLOW because I saw that girl's elbow sticking out.
  8. What's a front page?
  9. The world's biggest? I'm pretty sure I beat her by at least 50 pounds and likely someone beats me by 100 pounds.
  10. Wait two SDF ships. One of them a ship that won every battle both lost in combat against a single ship of Khyron. Man characters are incompetent in Robotech.
  11. Last year I was working on making a short (non-Macross*) fan film. My funds were limited so I ended up making an even shorter prologue for the longer short I really would liked to make. When editing is complete on this prologue I plan trying my luck on Kickstarter to see if we can raise enough funds. On kickstarter you usually offer some incentives for your backers. I've been brain storming several ideas and one of them is exclusive merchandise. Things like official t-shirts only 50 of them will be made and that sort of thing. What brings me here is that I'll need to find a graphic artist who can create a logo. Not asking for any one to work for free but I'll make it clear right now there isn't too much money. What I like to do is offer a deferred payment arrangement. Where I pay for some of the work now but the majority of the payment comes from a successful Kickstarter. If interested send me a PM with examples of your work, background and rates. *Right now I'm not publicly disclosing the nature of the project. I will in private discussions. As a crowd funded project I want to use any possible buzz surrounding it to the maximum potential. I don't want to have people interested in it but no place for them to actually crowd fund it. I wish it was Macross based but I decided against it for two reasons. #1. Cost vs Interest. Production costs are naturally gonna be higher and Macross is too narrow in appeal to raise enough funding to do it right. Not that it couldn't be done. There are plenty of scenes in Macross that just involve two characters talking in a single room. Problem is I think people would rather see mecha flying around over two characters talking about their relationship. #2. Lack of Appropriate Talent. I want to cast the right people for the parts. To do Macross right you'll need to have the right Asian actors. While I do have access to an Asian community not everyone is an Actor or a Model. I'd be essential limiting myself to only a dozen or so actors to choose from. Even if I did find a few winners out of that dozen people do move and stuff trying to replace them would be hard. Ironically a third of my cast and crew are Asian.
  12. Who cares if Megan Fox is in the movie and as April. This is a movie based on an extremely far fetched kids cartoon and comic book.
  13. Old Han Solo fails to stop the destruction of Naboo with red matter travels back in time along with an evil Jar Jar Binks. Young Han solo then meets with Old Han Solo after evil Jar Jar Binks destroys Corellia in revenge. And Tyler Perry plays Mon Mothma.
  14. Last few episodes includes the last one was a welcome change after all those ones about Jedi preshcoolers and cute droids. Death and destruction is this really the same cartoon?
  15. Does anyone really find the concept of playing a cyborg appealing? This guy had his arms, legs and I assume dick chopped off. Then replaced by robot parts. Sure they have super ninja human abilities but they've all been mutilated. I assume many like the cyborg police did willingly. At least Robo-Cop didn't have a choice.
  16. Spammer was using a Ukraine IP and a email from Montenegro. Everyone please write letters to those countries for supporting online terrorism.
  17. We're only humans fighting against machines!
  18. I wish I had my old salary so I could afford these new Valks. Even if did these are still to expensive.
  19. Toshiba's Final Solution Well I got an email answer back from the repair center. Basically they run a couple of diagnostics software programs on computers to look for problem if it comes clean they send it back. They don't tear open your computer to check for a hardware issues unless the hardware issues happens while they're in possession of the computer. They admitted in email that since it is a random issue it could something like a pinched cable but that isn't something they don't look for. I don't understand why people just don't physical look for a problem instead of running a program. Today I called the Support line asking what happens when this problems happens again. Basically even though my warranty has expired they guaranty the "repair" for 30 days after service. Person on the phone said I should revert my computer back to factory day one settings. Something that they had me do already. After reverting it back I shouldn't install any new software and if the computer acts up again with in 30 days I should send it back. If it acts up on day 31 I'm out of luck. Here's a problem about reverting to factory settings and not adding stuff to it. I already did that. We already exhausted all the possible software issues. What is the point of having a computer if you can't add stuff to it? My computer is 3 years old. As soon I try to do something like go to youtube with it or read a PDF I'm gonna get a message that some program is out of date. If I can't add stuff to my computer I won't be using it that much during the next 30 days. If I'm rarely using it the chances that this random will occur again during this time is very slim. Plus if I send it back to factory day one setting it will not have any virus protection. I can install what I'm using now but that would be adding something to it. I'm not gonna be paying bills online without any virus protection. I asked what happens if the problem returns at full force on day 31. I take to a local repair shop and they find it something they failed to find? In that case I get move to a case worker. Here's what I'm gonna do: I will reinstall all my favorite programs and start using my computer like normal. I will likely save very little files on my machine. I will only keep files on it that I use monthly. I will pretty much save every files after done using it to both the computer and external harddrive after every use. I think that is excessive but I don't know when the screen is just going to die or a minute or for good. When the screen dies for good. I will take it to a locally owned repair shop that is also an authorized Toshiba repair shop. I will pay them to find the actual problem. After getting an estimate I will confront Toshiba with the evidence that it was this problem all along and ask if they want to do the right thing. If they are a-holes about it. I will see if the repair itself are within my budget. I will then see about reporting them to every cusomer fraud reporting agency possible or what not. In conclusion if your friends or family tell about how they are thinking about buying a new computer please tell them about my experience with Toshiba. Tell them that Toshiba makes good computer about have the absolute horrible customer service and repair service. They will give you nothing but headaches.
