I could maybe understand holding off on battroids since Hasegawa has the Miria and now the Max super battroids coming out. But even then, the approaches are so wildly different...

But I do not at all understand holding off on the fighters since Hasegawa's Max/Miria set is so old now.

They may be old, but then everyone is gonna want the battroids and they’re probably gonna try and just let things cool a bit. The max fighter came out pretty close to his battroid in 1A and fairly close with Hikaru. It’s not a hard rule for them yet, but it seems to be something that sometimes happens the further they get with the VF-1’s, although there are exceptions.

Bill burr’s supposed brother

Got through episode 5 and seems there’s a bit more action here. Although still fairly silly

I can see why there’s so much hate for this show. Personally I’m still not there and don’t think it’s the worst show they’ve put out for the mcu, but it’s not far from it. 
One more episode to go

Life is super busy right now, but I was able to put in some time on this monster the past two days. Baby steps. Hope to finish this up by the weekend if I can find time. 

Looks better than the one I did a while back. I had the worst time on the front face seam and the arm missile launchers. Definitely not the easiest build. Still hoping for a modern kit one day that handles those issues better.

They haven't done VF-1J Max/Miria for the fighter kit though... which is puzzling.

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned that they’re probably holding off due to recent hasegawa kits. I’m sure they’re coming eventually l, just like I’m sure they’ll do the armored one, just gotta let things cool down and in the meantime probably do some more 7 stuff

The warning is a little late.  AMC theaters where I am had ads and trailers lasting that long before Covid.  (not every film, but a few certainly did)

Yeah, now that I think about it, it’s pretty much the same here as well and has been that way for a few years.

Much like Acme in the Looney Tunes series...

Acme wasn’t nearly as bad. Sure they sold some fairly dangerous stuff to random people and animals, but it’s not like they were supplying items to both sides of the Cold War

WRT the UC, it is pretty funny in hindsight to consider that all the Federation needed to do to squash half or more of the Zeon uprisings was just police Anaheim better.  They kept the conflicts going indefinitely by selling arms to both sides until SNRI snuck up and ate their lunch in the UC 100s.

They really should have started doing that before the  Zeta era. 0083 showed that some already knew of their dealings. And the fact that they not only were supplying the feds, the Titans, Zeon Remnants and even the AEUG  is totally ridiculous. It would’ve made more sense if they had been doing the Votoms type of thing to create more advanced humans by forcing constant struggle, but they just were hyper greedy and couldn’t help putting a stamp on everything

Maybe so but that personality flaw is nothing compared to Jimmy Swaggart (who also passed this week, to the delight of many). 

 

I love Ozzy’s Miracle Man song. Totally trashed Jimmy. Dio also had one with Sabbath called TV Crimes that didn’t exactly name him, but you could easily tell who he was singing about. Some people that have issues will be remembered as nothing but a fraud while others like Shooter will still have a great legacy that will be remembered.

For you theater-goers.

AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ‘25-30 minutes’ of ads and trailers

Maybe it's a blessing-in-disguise that I have less time to go to theaters these days. 

I’m kinda ok with it. Gives time to get snacks and hit the restroom, just would hope for more trailers than basic ads.

The World's End

That’s actually my favorite of the Pegg Frost team ups. It has a bit of a slow start and just keeps building and building as not only the odd stuff gets weirder, but Pegg's character gets more and more revealed as the absolute train wreck trapped in his teenage days that really only had one great day, but finally becomes something better by the very end of things. I really do love that movie.

Lalah was definitely into more than one trick

So I only had time to check out episode 4 of Iron Heart. Seems there’s only six episodes since it says all episodes available. I still don’t hate the show, but I can’t really recommend it either.

This might be closer to the original book but the trailer really doesn't catch my interest.  And there is NO beating the combo of Arnold and Richard Dawson.  And the lady saying Arnold was "one mean mother..."

The og film definitely has an unbeatable cool factor with a hefty slice of premium cheese that probably won’t be beat. But I can’t think of a bad Edgar Wright movie, so I have a good feeling that even if it’s not as great that it will still be good

Maybe this is inflation talking, but those prices seem highly reasonable. I really don't need to start another collection...

Not too bad for today’s pricing. If you’re just looking for a budget buy, that Condor is pretty cool $35 for a vehicle that transforms with a pilot figure. Not a bad price at all. Although the old man in me says it should only be $10, but that’s probably a discount even for eighties pricing

These art style projects are always fun to see. The white colors probably make it much easier to draw on, but I’m always impressed by the creativity

Looks fun. Arnold's version is still great tho. 

You cold-blooded bastard! I'll tell you what I think of it! I *live* to see you eat that contract! But I hope you leave enough room for my fist, because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your goddamn spine!

A few friends of mine would come over in rental nights and this was one of those that had a few perennials with some pizza and popcorn and a lot of laughter. Loved the goofy Arnold lines and the story was great for how much cheese was on and off screen. Good times and great memories.

usually after the first friend ended up going home someone in the remaining people would always ask “what happened to ……” and we’d all respond in unison in our worst Arnold impressions “He had to split”

I like the old movie, and I love Edgar Wright movies, so I’m probably gonna have to check this out. Curious about how the soundtrack will play out since that’s usually a big part of his movies

I wouldn't say no to a Gundam Sentinel or Advance of Zeta animation. I know both are something of a rights abomination, but I would certainly appreciate the resulting repops or new molds entirely of model kits.

I’d love to see Sentinel somehow adapted to anime. I’d also like some hg revives of the Xekueins and its variants as well as other designs that haven’t been done in hg along with revives of the s gundams as well. Lots of cool stuff there, but I’ve also heard it’s a rights nightmare

Maybe within the first couple episodes. I haven’t watched the show in a few decades

After all these years I still don't know the main character's mask ability. 

i remember the stupid doors would open vertical and it'd magically fly.

i did like the truck though with the "lifter" mask guy.  

I think it was the ability to change energy. I remember him doing odd things like making harmful beams into harmless light or something like that

I might be totally wrong though
