  1. I always hated ant man as a kid, but I really enjoyed the movie. It was a real fun time at the movies and I'm looking forward to the sequel. Somehow marvel can take characters I hate or know next to nothing about and give them an entertaining movie.
  2. I kept hearing batman was the best thing next to Alfred in bvs so maybe this will be good. Any word on bad guys yet?
  3. I'm not pleased with the looks of some of the characters and the reshoot thing worries me, but the new trailer looks fun. I'll probably wait on the reviews before buying a ticket. I do hope it saves the dcu, otherwise bring on the reboots before we get too many films in. If it does turn out good then at least a good third of the dcu would be worth saving and may inspire the rest of the projects to be better.
  4. It may just be the angle of the pictures. The battroid looks more like a modern transformer.
  5. I'm not to into Star Trek although I did watch ds9 and I was never very entertained by it, so if new bsg was something to compare to that I guess I didn't miss much. I did love red dwarf and all its goofy characters. As far as more serious scifi shows I did enjoy Babylon 5( I think it was 5 it's been a while).
  6. I'm no expert on Star Trek, but I think I remember an interview regarding the warp nacelle needed to be almost separate from the ship because they were warping space around them and not the ship. That explanation made sense to me at the time, but not as much now.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. My problem with these kind of junky robot designs is that when they start punching my eyes have a hard time telling where one robot ends and one begins. They just look like piles of scrap rolling around instead of mechanical humanoid shapes.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. I was looking at the different releases for this and noticed none of them mention a 3D release. Disney usually releases most of their films in 3D when they were also shown in theaters in 3D. I personally don't own a 3D tv anyway, but was just curious about this.

    Those web shop exclusives usually don't get very creative boxart.
  17. Does anyone have info on the gundam universal unit trading figures. I wasn't sure if this was the correct thread, but they look interesting so far. The nt1 looks like it has remove able armor and there's a separate release for the xi gundam
  18. So the people I work around have seen the movie and are all having excited conversations, but when I ask if I should spend the money on a ticket nobody gives me a yes or no answer. Instead I get "ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". I decide not to push for a yes or no, but instead have fun with watching face contortions.🤔
  19. 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.
  20. The early returns for this weekend are estimated at $170million despite the bad publicity. Hopefully they learn from previous mistakes going forward with this franchise, because if those numbers are correct there's no stopping the upcoming projects.
