  1. Hey scyla when I first saw the picture in you're post of the mpc kit I first saw it as at-at and after looking at as an adult I can see it as an acronym even though it took a couple of seconds although the way the letters are spaced still makes me think it's ok either way. Now when I look back to my childhood I think most people in my age bracket would read it as at at as well and most adults back then didn't build star wars kits. Someone earlier posted that due to the younger generations of fans with this new invention called the Internet had more exposure to the correct terms than us dumb old folks.

  2. I honestly don't care if the main characters in the new star wars movies are male or female, as long as we don't get a goofy reboot where all the characters get a gender swap. I never did watch the new battle star galactica due to the female starbuck and probably never will and I might end up with the same decision about ghostbusters. At least ghostbusters is actually new characters, but probably crap. I am however very interested in this film. The Disney franchise films lately may not be perfect, but they are perfectly entertaining.

  3. This movie left the local theaters before I had a chance to see it then I forgot about it. My boss was the one telling me it was good and I should see it.

    When I tried to find edge of tomorrow I didn't see it in stores, so my boss recently told me they changed the title to live die repeat. I actually found it and in large letters it says live die repeat and in very small letters at the bottom it says edge of tomorrow.

    My boss told me the studio changed the title due to confusion at the box office between this and fault in our stars. I guess fios sounds more like a scifi film than eot. Edge of tomorrow was confused with a romantic teen drama about a couple with one of the partners about to die soon and the confusion about the two films released at the same time caused eot to fail and the studio to change the title.

  4. I finally got the hguc prototype dom in the mail and I am really happy with what I see in the box. I'm extremely backloged, but this one may get bumped ahead in line. A lot of the hg gundam kits have cut corners lately so I was happy to see an open palm hand and the feet didn't have any open gaps at the bottom. The only complaint I have is the same complaint I have always had about hg gundam kits, that there are no waterslides decal options. The sticker designs look great, but I hate stickers.

    The finished pictures of the kit look fantastic so I can't wait to build it. I will probably do a custom color on it and maybe get another in the small hopes of a waterslide set coming out or maybe getting some printed using the stickers as a master.

  5. Until this thread I never realized my own inconsistency. For over 3 decades it has been A.T.S.T. and at-at for me and maybe everyone I have talked to about this. Imperial walker was thrown around to describe any of the walking vehicles and every once in a while it was chicken or scout walker or proto regult, but I've never been corrected and never tried correcting anyone on the names. Oddly enough I rarely heard A.T.A.T. from people including extreme fans.

    Maybe the extreme fans I know aren't as extreme as I thought.

  6. I wish Netflix was around when I was a kid so I could have binge watched the freeza saga of dbz that took months only being able to see one episode a week.

    With daredevil season 2 they ended just about every episode with a cliff hanger so it was really hard to leave the house.

  7. So I finally finished daredevil and loved it. this new season really had me on edge. The action was great and the story was very interesting to me. This was definitely the best punisher ever and may even be better than the one from the comics.

    It's been a while since I've read a punisher comic, but I don't remember ever feeling emotionally attached to the character like this. I always thought he was a great character, but this one even though he was brutal made me feel really sorry for his situation and the character as a whole was just so emotional and more human than I ever thought he could be.

  8. That's exactly the point, though. The films will male money no matter who you put at the helm. So why not put someone there who can actually direct a film? The built-in financial viability of these films will last for at least a while, so there's no harm in building some good PR in the meantime so that future projects can have easier paths to success. And eventually they won't be able to sell these on brand name alone, so they should be giving people a reason to support them after that security blanket is gone. That's partly why I still watch Marvel films despite a sense of superhero fatigue. I know they'll make for at least passingly good entertainment.

    But really, the faith DC/WB has put in Snyder is mind-boggling. Yes, it survived Batman and Robin, but this movie is way, way beyond Batman and Robin. It's enough that I can safely say I won't watch another DC superhero movie again. Given what they did to this, I can only imagine what they're doing to Sandman, the one DC superhero film I WANT to see. (And with Joseph Gordon-Levitt leaving over creative differences, I can reason out what those differences were.)

    Didn't they cancel the sandman movie saying it couldn't be filmed recently.

  9. Like I said before it's estimated at 170 mill, so next weekend everyone who was on the fence will get that left out of the conversation feeling and a good number of those will check it out.

    If I had free tickets I would watch it, but with all the talk so far, I can't justify paying to see it. That doesn't meen I'm not curios about it, and if I don't see it in theaters I'll either wait till video.

  10. Ben must be feeling let down being the "only good thing about batman v superman".

    The superman movie wasn't very good and I will probably be dissapointed by this seing as how most people say man of steel was better.

    With all the lex hatred and letto joker hatred maybe dcu should take a hint from what worked for deadpool and make the characters closer to what fans know or expect instead of making drastic changes to such iconic characters.

    The other major complaint is that this movie seems rushed. Man of steel felt too rushed, and that's already 2 in a row that they just rushed the story. Will the justice league also be rushed.

    All in all I have no confidence in this franchise at this point.

  11. This so far doesn't look as bad as the cg from the movies. I liked the old series even though at times the animation was just still pictures. I so far have only seen the first movie egg of the king and the cg elements were really bad. I will probably still watch the other films before themes series comes out here in the U.S.

    Is this going to be connected to either the series or the movies or just be further in the comic than the previous projects.

  12. I just got an email from Amazon advertising the regult for $76, I think that qualifies for free shipping even though the price is a little higher the free shipping may make up for the cost.
