    I seem to keep getting a weird... SOMETHING where my scroll wheel will stop working randomly. Usually it happens when I navigate from any subforum to a thread; suddenly I'll lose middle wheel scrolling ability for the entire forum on that tab. Middle-click to scroll still works, scrolling on other tabs still works, etc. Going to a different website on the same tab restores scrolling, and going from that other website back to MWF likewise restores scrolling... until I go to a thread and (sometimes) the scrolling stops again. It's not a big issue by any means, just a strange thing that happens only on this forum. I've had it happen on multiple computers; in one instance the Backspace key on my main computer became nonfunctional as well.

    What the frakk sort of trailer is that supposed to be? Ugh.

    Not to beleaguer the point, but I just got done with the first season of SAC, and maaaan... This movie should have been about the Tachikomas. That's all.

    EDIT: I recommend turning on closed captions.

    Hasegawa VF-31

    Oh boy. I've picked up both Hasegawa SV-262s, but I'm not sure if I'll bite on this one even if my heart says yes. There's just still too much about the design I don't like... Hopefully they'll release a 31A, limited edition or otherwise.

    Probably just too different from what Thor's been before. They went from "classically" Norse in the first movie to the trademark "Marvel" Norse in the second movie to... Guardians of the Galaxy here.

    Yeah, I coulda done without it. It didn't feel very Thor-ish, but then again, this is kind of another fish-out-of-water type story, so... eh.
  12. kajnrig
    Hm, you've got a point there. Touche.

    To be fair, they didn't go anywhere with a lot of things. WA-HEEEEEY No but seriously, thinking on the movie some more and not going anywhere, why did they include the "Kuze's network" thing? Maybe I missed something. Inane conjecture here, so feel free to ignore:

    Man, I miss the classic storytelling of the first Thor, easily my favorite of... any (wow) of the MCU films. That said, this looks dope.

    Tangentially-related, but those remind me of this:

    They borrowed some bits from Innocence, I remember, specifically two things: the geisha saying "Help me" and the doctor/scientist they spoke to in order to deep dive into said geisha having a similar personality to and eye cybernetics as Dr. Harlad or whatever her name was.

    Hasegawa VF-31

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    They have all three modes of the VF-1, though, in case that entices you at all. And I think the total cost wouldn't be too far off from the Bandai VF-1, either.

    Amen.

    I like how there's already 15 reviews. Like, you don't know, they could have printed an entirely different video onto the disc...

    I wonder what Christopher Nolan or Darren Aronofsky could have done with this property, if only for the fact that they've acknowledged anime influences in their works (notably Satoshi Kon's works). Apparently Spielberg was the one really pushing for this to get made, so maybe he could have done something with it as well.

    I'd agree with that assessment. And it goes without saying that I think it was the wrong way to go in the first place, and an awful (okay, not awful, but certainly not memorable) execution of the plan in the second place. They played everything as safe as can be and got burned because of it. That strategy reflects all the trends in big-budget Hollywood movies nowadays, and clearly it was a losing strategy. They should have looked outside the conventions of Hollywood for ideas about what story to tell and how to do it. But speaking of overseas numbers, it looks like my prediction (the movie would break even) was wrong and the movie might not even make up its production cost: https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2017/04/07/box-office-china-cant-save-scarlett-johanssons-ghost-in-the-shell/#4e4f29ab18c9

    I agree that a 1:1 translation wouldn't work, but there's more than the '95 movie to draw from. My first exposure to GitS was the movie, but didn't consume any of it until the manga, and I was surprised when I went back to said movie a few days ago to find her character very different, and then again when I started SAC and she took another turn. But the crux of my argument is that all the Majors, different as they are from each other, exert themselves upon their world as much as the world exerts itself upon them, and whose sense(s) of identity is tied to the world around them, not a more passive character whose identity is tied to her humanity. Jin-Roh is weird. I know I like it, but I always forget why until I watch it again at least once every year. All the more reason to have her be a side character, no? Have OC Mira play the "straight character" that the story revolves around, and the Major can be part of the supporting cast.

    Original video back up, too. Maybe a copyright violation for music? How It Should Have Ended ran into the same situation with their Frozen HISHE.

    Saw it against my better judgment the other day (didn't pay a dime, though, because frakk these guys) after finally going through the '95 original. I also have the original manga, though I still have to get all the way through that. And in the time it took me to write all this off and on, I've now seen the first two episodes of SAC. This movie is about what I expected it to be. Completely middle of the road. That's about it. Anywhere between 4 and 6 out of 10 seems fair. It's something you won't remember in a month's time. 50 years from now, it'll be just a footnote in Hollywood's political history. Yikes, that ended up being way longer than I originally intended. Spoiler tags ahoy.
