    Looks bad ass. I want me some Invid!

    I think my Core i7 is still beefy enough. X58 is a bit dated but good enough for my purposes for at least a couple years especially if I go beyond the mild overclock. I'll probably go to 24GB of DDR3 sooner or later (crazy how cheap RAM is these days)

    I was re-reading the Hobbit and it does describe Balin as looking unusually old so that one isn't too far off the mark apparently. I still don't like most of the differentiation decisions they made (and most of the beards are way too short). Fili and Kili are definitely both supposed to be blonde. Looks like they're skipping the whole hood detail, too).

    Yeah he seriously needs to get with John Milius and do Crown of Iron stat. Then maybe a sequel to True Lies.

    Never did get a new GPU. Leaning on GTX 690... jk, but seriously considering GTX 660 Ti.

    They need to do low-viz of everything in 1/60 starting with: VF-1 v2, VF-19, VF-22, VF-17, VF-4

    amiami ?

    Uxi replied to talyn8's topic in Toys

    Wow that sucks. I had no complaints about a few Ami Ami purchases but won't do it anymore with that policy.
  8. Uxi
    Wow, that pic showing all 3 really makes me want them.
  9. Uxi
    Don't like it enough to spend that much. Under $300 I would definitely be more interested.

    Most likely putting him in the Viper/Tom Skerritt role facing a cocky young pilot with his own demons. Probably a chic given hollywood's MO these days. But yeah probably not, in light of recent events.

    After going back and forth several times, I want special whale blood/bpollen red version. Not LE, I hope?
  12. Uxi
    Not fond of the 171. Just want the 17D.

    Still one of my favorite Yamato valkyries ever. Wish they would do a 1/60 in both 1A and 1J versions with modern weathering.

    I just watched the original on Blu-ray and gotta say it holds up pretty well. Arnold has so many great one liners in it in between getting punched and kicked in the balls all the time. Me and my friends still regularly use "See at the Party Richter!" and "get your ass to Mars." Have no interest at all in seeing this one, though am not as offended by it's concept as I am for say... the Robocop remake. I hate reboots/remakes in general, though. Why not a sequel in the same imaginary universe instead? Not like they have to directly or even indirectly reference the original at all... just seems like a waste.

    Same as blackconvoy (one matinee, one IMAX). Done until blu-ray, I think, though will look forward to watching Bane quite a few more times on that. Passing on Spiderman and most likely on Man of Steel.

    Partially it's the somewhat archaic language Tolkien uses. Hobbits going "queer" when Gandalf comes around and throwing happy people on the fire and all that. The style is definitely much different in LOTR than Hobbit, as well.

    Well it stretches it. I did miss the viral marketing stuff but I didn't get the hint he was just in from viewings of Dark Knight. Possible, though. I just don't see the "need" for the 8 year gap that couldn't be filled by a gap even 1/4 of that, for example. Seems utterly arbitrary to me. Good point though on him getting the political credit, especially with Batman discredited. Saw it again today and my nitpicks were far more at bay. Think I rank this second of the trilogy now. Probably won't see it again, though, until the Blu-ray comes out.

    Appeal to popularity fallacy? No doubt I'll be one of the people seeing the films. Given the huge amount of nitpicking over LOTR and the EE's there will be a lot for these, too, but such is the way when adapting beloved material that's decades old in it's nth edition/reprinting. It will probably remain nitpicking, for me included, but whether it's popular or not is a non sequitur. Very many adaptations stray in ways both big and small and can be popular (or not) independently. I do think they got the mood of the dwarves right, at least from what's seen in the trailer, both with their somber song and the comical cleanup. I do hope they give Thorin at least a little (relative) levity and have him blowing smoke rings with Gandalf, though.

    Outside of the Balin age deal, my main beef with all the dwarves is the beards, especially Thorin. Their beards are just too short (if not missing entirely like Bomber). Fili and Kili could be explained as their youth, but not Thorin or Bomber or Ori. There was more room for use of braids, etc. For the background of the other 11, it probably could be dismissed as irrelevent but Thorin is too important for that. I'm pretending I never heard the quote that Dain II would have a mohawk and head tattoos, though. :scared: These are, of course, minor issues, compared to Tauriel. I don't think I have a problem with trilogy in concept though fear it's going to be too much made up artificial connections to the LOTR trilogy instead of portrayals/setup for the situation at Erebor like the Battle of Azanulbizar, etc.

    I liked First Class better than the original trilogy (at least until both US and Soviets decide to mutually attack the Mutants, which was absurd). I'll probably catch this one on PSN or Netflix. Don't know or care enough about it's continuity to care. If they were going to do anything, they should've aped the cartoon, which I enjoyed in the 90s.

    My thoughts:

    I want a hybrid one and more of a repaint of the DYRL than a true SDF version. Biggest mold difference I would want is shoulders with external rail guns but just a repaint with Daedalus and Prometheus and in blue and white rather than the plain DYRL paint job. But not expecting one. :\
  23. Uxi
    Bad ass! I was kind of hoping to see a VF-1, though trash that Regult.
  24. Uxi
    I rolled my eyes at first, but seems like it could work and the bad guys might want revenge. you think they wouldn't be that stupid, though.
  25. Uxi
    I'd pay good money for Galvatron done by anyone.
