Prometheus - on Blu-Ray and DVD Oct. 9, 2012
jenius replied to Pizza the Hutt's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Bashing The Great Gatsby is extremely silly. That book is well written, there's a reason we've all read it. Takes me back to senior year of high school just thinking about it... I think we spent two months on that book. On the suspension of disbelief thing, I think that's what's causing a lot of the negative reaction to Prometheus. Ignoring the 100 nitpicks article I linked to, there were two points which actually took me out of the movie upon my first watching it (and I'm sure I'll watch it again). That was the stupid biologist who fears dead bodies but loves alien snakes and Shaw running around after having an emergency c-section. Basically, the movie jumped the shark there and everything that happened after that I was like "Oh really? THIS now?" Up until it rolled credits. It's like the writer's gave up. Yes, the forced C-section and how it was filmed was pretty cool... but it shouldn't have happened to Shaw's character... it should have happened to someone who didn't spend the rest of the movie running, jumping, and doing pull-ups. Either that or it should have relied on nano-technology or some other scifi magic and extended out the time frame a bit. As it was, I spent the last 15 minutes scoffing at the film rather than enjoying it. I will echo that I found the pacing disjointed and the opening sequence had me thinking long and hard about how it couldn't be Earth but was probably supposed to be... but it wasn't enough to pull me out of the suspension of disbelief like the items above. -
It still has the collection of cameras, it just also has the outlines for the eyes in the clear panel in front (thus making sense of how it suddenly had the Kai's face... kinda).
-
So they've molded in aspect's of the Kai's face into the clear panel eh? It looks great, if these weren't insanely expensive I'd buy one. I would have bought a 19F at that discounted price too!

I knew Prometheus had some problems... but 100? I'll have to make some time to read through this: http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/fictional-science-100-glaring-logical-issues-with-prometheus/?utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_33419 Saw it while reading Ghostbusters 3 information. -

It seems like Bandai SHOULD be able to do something about the wings in their armored parts release since. I don't know what the fix would be exactly but since we get whole new wings I'm hoping they do something to address those stupid pegs. At the very least, if the pegs were locked into the wing so the whole wing fell off instead of a hard to find peg that'd be a step in the right direction.

A couple good videos from the past of this thread: -
I think Yamato missed a golden opportunity at some point. They made 1/24 Patlabor figures, 1/15 Megazone figures, 1/12 Votoms figures, 1/15 BGC toys. It seems like they could have done something like a "Microman" line of toys at one standard scale that acommodated all these lines. Not sure what that scale would be (1/20 or 1/24)?
-
That was a scene mega house set up at shows. They also had scenes featuring an invid scout they never made and a Mint figure.
-
Seems there are a disproportionate amount of idiots who drive GT-Rs.
-
But that's only true because they sold out at msrp. Had they all started at twice the price there'd be plenty still on store shelves, we might even be heading toward an hlj sale.
-
Yamato would have an easy solution for that... make the MSRP double what Bandai is charging.
-
I would temper my enthusiasm on that... I think some other Macross merchandise has been produced by companies other than Bandai already and Bandai would only give up the rights to make toys when they don't think they'll be profitable any more. Seems unlikely they'd let the rights go with the renewals selling out instantly. Besides, you don't want Yamato making VF-25 toys right now... you want some more time to go by so it will be a truly third generation toy.
-
No, a v2 1/48 could be a huge improvement over the 1/60. Think anime accurate transformation, built in side covers, no neck collar, functioning chair out the head hole gimmick... you just have to dream a bit and it could be epic.
-
LAAAAMMMME. I'll try to get another version uploaded without the flicker . For now the flickering ends after about 4:43.
-
I have only two 1/48 toys left, my VF-1J Hikaru (Super) and my VF-1S. I also have one set of Super/Strike parts and one set of GBP. That said, I only have a few 1/60 V2 toys also (Hikaru 1J, Focker Strike 1S, GBP, and a VF-X).
-
I finally completed my comparison of the V1 Armored Parts and the V2 Armored parts. Here's a glamour shot, check out the rest of the post on anymoon -
-
He did say it in the thread for the VF-19.
-
Are you talking about the old Macross Plus YF-19 or one of the newer VF-19 releases? If it's the older YF-19 toy there was a whole thread dedicated to limbs suddenly falling off on those toys. If it's on the newer releases then we may need to dust off our panic buttons.
