KingNor

Ok, i was just talking to a friend of mine. She says that her boyfriend and her rented a Hobbit movie that was full of really bad gay looking things, including: "ok, some bad thing got on the hobbits's ass, he said, get it off, the old hobbit spanked him" (sorry i couldn't get her to be more clear than that) she said it had several hobbits that went off with taller hobbits. i'm not sure i think this means like.. bilbo going off with the dwarves. she's one of those people that if the conversation gets difficult she finds something else to do.. but now i'm totally perplexed... i've seen rankin bass's Return of the King. and if you watch it.. its got some really bad moments that could look pretty homosexual, i'm THINKING thats what she saw but then she said there was a dragon for sure. she sent me this pic:

is Misa Japanise? i'd always thought she was White and from the U.S.

i've got the english dub vhs of DYRL? and all i can say is the tinny audio and HORRIBLE acting really sour the experience, i can't wait to eventually get a japanise version with english subtitles. i've probably only watched it twice in 10 years, the audio is THAT bad.

http://www.angryalien.com/ weird, kinda funny... kinda lame.. i figured i'd up it up cuz its alien related and aliens has been a big topic on the boards lately :-)

dunno, i don't remember power suits in Starship Troopers ( or as i like to call it, Captain Jawbone and the Funky Bunch) i'm glad they eventually went with fighters and stayed away from the power suit design, i'm not a huge fan of power suits. i'm a little confused by this whole Megaroad buisness... isn't that the name of the ship rick and misa flew into a black hole or something? i guess thats a question for the newbie thread though, nevermind.

thanks man, thats the kind of source and refrence material i was talkin about

hehe hardcore. seeing weapons like that in their original packaging (i mean real weapons like m-16's n stuff) is really bizzar. very very very cool link.

to get off track for a second: its funny that sigourney would be so against guns because she feels the power of god when just holding a fake one. rather than educate and familiarize herself, and learn about fire arms, she takes the easy way out and says "gunz R bad, no guns for me or anyone" back on track: i dont' think i'd get any of the characters from any of the movies, but i'd like a random standard issue "colonial marine" that could come with a pulse riffle, the big gun that vasques had, and maybe some small arms and a motion tracker. that would be cool. i usually shy away from "characters" from the movie as they usually just don't look right or have some kind of weird facial expression.

personally i'm with grahm i dont' really get why gundam is so popular... thanks for the info motley: i'm not so much contesting that gundam was or wasn't inflewential in macross, i'm just saying that stating as such, with out really proving or backing up anything is sloppy. i didn't know kawamori was a GD fan. intresting. i dont' think i'll ever like Gundam though, giant robots designed to fight other giant robots just isn't something i find intresting. Macross and Eva are pretty much the only giant mecha franchises i like. and neither the Eva's nor the Valkyries were designed to fight other robots, but to fight big aliens/angel thingys. (btw i do lump robot jox in with giant robot movies i don't like hehehehe) now i'm just rambleing.

i have to admit i'm intrested to see M7 just because of all the valks and weirdness. ever since i saw those pics of the vf-1's with the wacky circus paintjobs, i've been intrested in seeing what else weird happens in this show. how many discs is it? (or tapes, is it even on dvd?)

No one said anything about scientific references. Before Gundam, robots were super robots. After Gundam, robots are real robots. Without Gundam, your Valkyries would be much more colorful, with wierd crap sticking out all over the place, and Roy, Hikaru, Max, and Millia's Valkyries would combine to form a Super Valkyrie, which then promptly shoots breast missiles at Godzilla. i don't like these kind of self perpetuating statements. I don't see any proof that Gundam MADE Macross be more realistic. Just because Gundam came out first, and had all the flashy crap, in no way means that Macross was made the way it was BECAUSE of Gundam. I'm assuming that you're implying that because Gundam didn't go the "getter robo" rout with the super strong inexplicable robots that all anime's that protray their mecha realisticly somehow hold aleigence to Gundam for showing them a diffrent way to do things. You're basicly forcing people to accept gundam as some kind of saving grace for Macross, and anyone who doesn't agree is put in the situation to "prove a negative" in that they'd have to prove that had Gundam never existed, Macross would be the same. which is impossible. that's slopy reasoning. If you want to say Macross would have had wacky space ships and campy "combine to form voltron" mecha, then prove it some how. show an early model sheet of valks becomeing a super valk. show some interview with a creator saying "at first, valkyries were going to combine to form 'Vazoolo' the super robot." don't just state it as fact, i hate that crap.

for as good as that motion tracker looks. "master replicas" makes a hell of alot of crap. their "lord of the rings" section contains only a 'sting' with a bright blue blade (ew) and a ring. the shrek stuff i've seen in person and they are bleh at best. and their three links "aliens, predator, and Aliens vs Predator" all link to the same four items. kinda weak. (but the motion tracker does look pretty high quality)

Doesn't seem to explain why she did "Death and the Maiden". She spent most of the movie sticking a gun in Sir Ben Kingsley's face. Heck, she even held the gun on the movie's poster. was this an older movie? i've noticed actors don't tend to stick to their morals when their poor and in need of work, but when they get "big" suddenly they are full of issues. dunno

i can wipe the floor playing as dan. anyone whos attack is to sign a pic of themselves and throw it at you is ok in my book.

cool isamu, thanks. man i hate it when actors pull crap like that. oh well, i wish they'd gone in a diffrent direction with alien.. there was a very easy to follow progression going on: alien: horror movie aliens: action movie alien3: horror movie?? they broke the progression. its obvious that the next step should have been: alien3: courtroom drama "Ripley vs The Company" it would have been beautiful.

show me.

hey hey hey! i'm not on trial here, if i post in an safe internet chat that i'm willing to beat up children and go toe to toe with a big ass plumber, then you have to assume i'm being truthful about my personality !!!

i don't think i posted this here. i miss my 1/60 scale valk, but my bootlegs never got along with it.

next time just tell him "the state says i can't have little boys in my house anymore"

that kid needs a big dose of "up side the head"

what a messed up kid.

i can't sit through commentary. one of the ones for the first matrix where the guy is like "yeah we totally made the companys logo into the matrix code, as a way to burn the corprait world" oh f'ing please i turned it off after that. i can';t listen to pompus hollywood nimrods talk about being "deep"

i just got it to work, really i thnk he's jokeing more than truely ranting. there is a niche' for "angry" comedy like this you know.

it don't work no mo

i'm shocked you felt inclined to reward this childs attidude with a dvd collection and an action figure. if something like that had found its way into my apartment i would have kicked them both out and told the plumber to come back minus the family baggage. i mean... i can just see the wheels crankin in that kids head: "gee i want that stuff.. he said i couldn't have it so.. what could happen that would allow me to get it.. OH .. if he died i could have his stuff. that would be neat, if only he'd die before i had to go home my dad would let me take some of his toys."
