    Well, I'm out, my wife just lost her job, so we are back down to just my income and need to trim with the holidays coming up.

    So it's Dr Who's Waters of Mars without the doctor. Honestly though I like the look of it, I like that cast and most of the tech, other than the dropship, looks good. Too bad they still get the gravity on Mars wrong, but I can overlook that.

    It is an interesting plane to be sure, and would make a nice economic boost. Thing is, since it is a two seater I could see it as a trainer as well, something of a T-37 replacement. It is not fast enough for a T-38 replacement. Though a new wing and afterburning engines might make it a viable replacement for the T-38 as well.

    You also have to remember that 051 is a strictly flight test bird for testing the flight dynamics of the aircraft. Russians work in an itterative process with each prototype testing another aspect of the design and eventually incorporating all of them.

    Well if that pciture is true then I am completely set against this movie, unless it sparks so much outrage that the entire script is thrown out along with Biebers rotting corpse.

    yeah that is my issue, she agreed to let me get the YF-19 next year, but that blue is just awesome, ugh, why do I have to be a responsible dad?!...

    So what kind of loser would buy that? It's more pathetic than even a real doll.

    Titanfall looks cool, too bad it is multiplayer only. Strange as it sounds I play games for the story. One of many reasons that I don't buy consoles.

    That is looking freaking awesome and my wife said I can preorder it as soon as a preorder comes up. Let's see if we can get a higher res scan though, this one is quite dark, leading to DH's canopy color fears. I just want to see how the heck they did the wing mechanism. It looks like there might be a slot in the root/leading edge of HS mode, and maybe that is a hinge visible at the roots leading edge in battrodi mode. The resolution makes it hard to tell though.

    Definite guilty pleasure movies

    I saw it a couple weeks ago. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. It called back much more the comic book source material, which was good, but was hampered by having to call back to the first movie, which was terrible. The extra scenes with Channing Tatum just felt poorly tacked on and unneccesary. I would have preferred if they just rebooted the whole thing, instead we got a sort of soft reboot, throwing out most of the crap from the first movie and focussing on a small corps of characters. This could lead into a fun series of movies, but doubt it will, that first movie will always hold it back in that regard. The overall plot was much more like the 80s cartoons, and could have been done better but I doubt that a good live action GI Joe movie will ever be made at this point, which is too bad because I was such a fan of the 80s comics and toys.

    I dunno, this movie just looks odd. I can go with the various aliens fine, but a freaking anthropamorphic talking racoon? WTF?

    Saab jets in general have a unique beauty that many people just don't get. I still love the draken, viggen, and the gripen, they might not be the prettyist girls at the dance, but they are still pleasing the eyes and sure know how to move and can get right down to business. As for the Czech Tiger Meet scheme, that is freaking psychedelic, but don't the czechs usually have some of the best and most unique TM schemes?

    Right, it could be dual purpose, but it's primary role is as a form of armor.
  19. Knight26
    That is the point of the thread coron. What is the unit that covers the canopy, a heat shield or armor? The only time it is ever mentioned in the animation is when Hikaru reenters to rescue Misa, and says to deploy the heat shield, the animation then shows the chest armor extend. So people started calling it the heat shield. That really doesn't make a lot of sense though, as it is clearly armor to protect the canopy while in battroid mode. It's just one of those examples of an animation or production mistake confusing fans for years on end.

    This will be my first valk in many years if it is less than $400, already gotten the OK from my wife on that.

    The first movie started out as an interesting deconstruction of the superhero/comic book movie genre. It devolved however into just another superhero origin story with over the top violence and some humorous moments. I will give it props for, unlike most other superhero movies, showing that most those these "Real world" superheroes are people with severe mental and emotional issues. Even the title character is a kid with issues who is having problems with the real world due to the loss of his mother never being addressed. Of course that is true of most superhero characters, mommy issues. As for the Jim Carrey issue. He is an @$$ hat, get over it. Were he the star of the movie I wouldn't even consider seeing it. There are certain actors/actresses whose movies I refuse to see if they star in them, unless there is a very compelling reason. Overall I think Carrey's role will be much like Cage's in the first movie, a secondary one that viewers will not have to focus on. I also agree with Keith that if Carrey has such issues with the role he should donate his paycheck to a charity, that will never happen though because Jim Carrey, like many of his ilk, is a hypocrit. That being said, if he had such issues with the role he never should have taken it. Will I see it in the theaters, no. Will I see it when it hits netflix, maybe.

    It's been many a year since I attended and I want to this year, but it all depends on the what happens with the job hunt and the furlough, ugh.

    Superman/Batman: Public Enemies would be an interesting take, especially the massive economic turmoil leading to Lex getting elected, that would fit nicely with the desctruction of Metro. I had two ideas though how to bring the Nolan'verse Batman into this movie though. 1: Bruce Wayne comes out of hiding. (assuming Bale and Hathaway will sign on). BW comes out of hiding following the destruction of Metra at the behest of his now dead friend and butler Alfred. He explains that Bane kidnapped and sent him away during the DKR and Alfred tracked him down and freed him. He was then nursed back to health by Alfred and his wife Selena Kyle-Wayne. BW is always seen with a cane due to his injuries, these are the injuries he actually sustained, and his batsuit has reinforced areas to help him fight. However a batman has been seen in gotham, this is Robin. The rest proceeds as I described before, and Selena joins in, or acts as "Oracle" helping out by giving batman intel. At the end BW meets back up with Robin who gives him a data packet on Hal Jodran, explaining what he witnessed while studying him. They add this to the files on other JL members they have been collecting. 2: Robin comes to Metro. (assuming Bale and Hathaway won't come back but might do cameos). Robin comes to metro to set up another home for lost boys in metropolis. The whole time he is getting intel from "oracle" on how to fight superman and to watch out for Lex. Wayne Ent is led by Lucius Fox, and he still provides equipment to robin/batman. At the end Bale can make a cameo revealing himself to be Oracle, or Selena to be the voice of Oracle as he gathers intel on all of the super powereds out there.

    What's your issue with Anchorage? I'm looking at a job up there.

    Ok, so using WF as the template and followin MoS, Lex Corp and Wayne Ind are the two main contractors rebuilding metropolis in the wake of the devestation wrought in MoS. The Batman follows as some Gotham badies have started to move in on Metropolis, taking advantage of the rebuilding effort. Lex hires some of the badies to hamper Wayne's efforts and take out Superman, seeing him as a threat to his rise to power and possibly to Earth as a whole. This casts Lex in a gray light, he wants what is best for him Supes finds out about Batman and oppossing his methods confronts him. Batman is prepared though and they have themselves a nice little brawl where Batman leads the fight into Lex Corp territory, making a mess of things there. The two then have to face down the big bad from Gotham, and get out of him/her that Lex hired them, but there is no proof. They take down the big bad and confront Lex, but with no evidence have to leave him in place, or have a "boss battle" with Lex in some kind of power armor. The movie then ends with Batman checking his computer and checking off ways to take down Superman as methods that might or might not work. There are several other files on his computer as well: Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, Green Lantern/Hal Jordan, the Flash/Wally West, etc...
