  1. I'd vote either that Tumbler or Tim Burton's Batmobile. The Tumbler is so practical it makes the others look ridiculous.
  2. Many scienist are rethinking their ideas that TRex's were hunters. Many now believe that the t-rex was a scavenger that searched for carrion.
  3. What Sol Said. But if there is a good one the Maul one would be it. All of the other duels were pretty lame. Lucas should have rehired Ray Park to choreograph all of the other subsequent duels. Better yet he should have hired a Hong Kong Stunt coordinator to do the fight sequences.
  4. I blame Singer for Halles lackluster performance. I don't think he really gave her much to work with and, he didn't really help her to grasp the character. If they didn't cut out her backstory she might have given a better depiction of the character in the 1st film. But Angela would've rocked as the Goddess. If Iman wasn't so old she would've been the perfect Storm. She's statuesque, has an accent, has some acting experience, gorgeous as hell, looks like Storm and could come across as a take no crap person. What all fims has Ratner done? I can't remember any of his films off the top of my head. If you guys are fans of the X-men Legends game the sequel is on schedule to come out this fall. Activision has been updating the games webpage.
  5. I'm not that disappointed that Vaughn has left, I heard some troubling comments that he made about filming X3 so I think his deciding to not do the flim is a good think. But Having only 2 month's to find a Director is a tough feat. Hopefully they'll find someone competent. Whedon would be a logical choice, but I've heard rumors that he's had a tough time meeting the comics deadlines so I don't know how well he'd do filming a major film with lots of egos.
  6. Exo where do you download the show from? The show comes on at a time when I'm not home so I've missed alot of the later eps.
  7. I just Got back from this Movie and it was so bad on so many levels I can't that I paid $8 for this crap. Please excuse my rambling its 5: a.m. So where to start? Dialogue Terrible, Way too much CGI/ special effects for the soulless purpose of showing What can be done with Cpu's (I knew this going in though), Action scenes with no emotion or depth, Acting horrendous ( only exceptions were Obi One and Palpatine). All of the Lightsaber Duels were pretty generic to outright bland, nothing really stood out in any of them. The best one was b/ Palps and Yoda. I think this movie suffered with a oversaturation of visuals. Too much going on in the background and foreground. Lucas spent way too much time on scenes with little to no consequence. I think the acting could have been better if the actors were given direction from a director. So I can't blame Portman or any other actors because it is the directors job to get anything resembling acting from them. BTW has anyone else seen this movie using a digital projector? I'm kinda curious wheter or not if there is much of a discernable difference in picture quality.
  8. This is great news. I doubt that it will be a TV version, but I wonder what color of uniform the pilot will come with? I bet the pilot will be draped in green or blue.
  9. Cyclops is essential for any telling of the Dark Phoenix saga period. I felt that Storm and Cyclops both terribly suffered in the 1st to films from lack of development. They should've been given more scenes to flesh the characters out. That's the directors fault, not the actors. I bet alot of their developmental scenes ended up on the cutting rooms floor. The great thing about any X-men sequel is that it's very easy to explain away actors that don't reprise their characters in subsequent sequels. There away on some mission doing X. There are a ton of other characters in the pool to draw from.
  10. Colossus has been around since his debut in Giant Size X-men in 1975. Claremont wasn't on the book at the time and Stan had long since stopped writing on the book. I've heard that they filmakers might not tell the Dark Phoenix in X3. They might set it up for a possible X4.
  11. Jim Lee is currently pencilling Superman for those that didn't know. It has been a good run IMO, but I'm biased b/c I've always loved his work. Marvel added him to their legends lineup. This collects some roughly 8 various issues he penciled during his run on Uncanny X-men.
  12. Thats a good question Legato to which there is no logical answer. Marvel Hired him about a yr ago to do work on a x-force or cable and Deadpool book. McFarlane hates his guts from what I've heard.
  13. I loved KOTOR and when I heard that Bioware was making this game I had to inquire about it. BTW what are some of the styles one can choose from? Is there Drunken style or any animal forms, such as monkey or snake fist?
  14. Has anyone played this game yet? I've been thinking about picking it up. Can you play with a shaolin Monk? Are there lots of different fighting styles to choose from?
  15. yeah, cause we americans are the only people obsessed with sports. how about canadians with hockey. japanese and cubans with baseball. and almost everyone else in the world with soccer. As far as I know, we take it to a more extreme level than most other nations. Your joking right? North Americans don't hold a candle to the way other countries obsess over their sports. I think some of the lunacy is attributed to alcohol, unsafe stadium conditions and misplaced nationalism. In Brazil, deranged fans have killed soccer players for losing games. Brawls are regular occurences in soccer matches between rival countries in Europe. I think there was a riot in a soccer match that involved a Nigerian Soccer team that left several dead. The Fan that stabbed Monica Seles was European if I recall.
  16. Great Choice!!! I love the scene where he mistakenly kills the One Armed Beggar in the restaurant. There is a new release of that film with 12 minutes of film added that had been cut out. Actor wise I'd have to go with either Hwang Jang Lee or Lo Lieh No other actors can even come close to portraying villains as these 2 except Christopher Lee. What made these 2 great villians was that they could actually kick your ass onscreen or offscreen. Notable movies include : Born Invincible, Drunken Master, Fist of the White Lotus, Master Killer, Snake in the Eagles Shadow, Mad Monkey Kung Fu. Other Notable Bad Guys: The Bad-- Lee Van Clief in the Good the Bad,The Ugly Gary Oldman in Bram Stokers Dracula Bela Lugosi in Dracula LeatherFace in Tx Chainsaw Massacre Nino Brown New Jack City Freddy Krueger Norman Bates Psycho Cathy Bates in Misery Damien in The Omen
  17. Nice Pics fellas. Dangaioh put some decals on those valks, they look naked.
  18. Here are a few notables: 1) Steve McQueens Mustang Bullitt in Bullitt 2) The Mini Coopers from The Italian Job 3) Ford Grand Torino from Starsky and Hutch 4) The Batmobile from the 89-90 Batman Movie
  19. It doesn't seem that the Cylons really care if a few clones are destroyed, seeing how easily they can replace the clones. I couldn't believe that Boomer Shot !@!@###. I also liked the fight between Starbuck and ^%%^. Starbuck got her ass handed to her.
  20. I heard Mickey Rourke stole the film as Marv. I can't wait to see it this weekend. Rodriguez and Miller were here in Austin for the premiere of the film Thursday night.
  21. I heard that the Cobra will be around 39,000$ MSRP. Don't quote me on that though. I wouldn't be suprised if it's around that considering the 05 GT and V6 retail around the same price as the 1999-2004. The 2003-2004 Cobra's were priced mid 30' to low 40's.
  22. Thanks for the correction, I never heard of the mistranslation. I skipped out on the remastered dvd's. But it doesn't change the fact you need Lilith for the 3rd impact. The humans or Angels didn't really need Adam Since the Evas are clones of Adam, and the Angels come from him. Unit 01 Becomes the new Lilith and floates away towards the close of EOE. To potentially start life elsewhere. If Adam was THE source of life then the Angels Battling the Evas would initiate the 3rd impact.
  23. The Fleet was enroute to Japan to deliver Unit 02 to Nerv (Location of Lilith). That is why it attacked, They were merely in its way. Besides, in the series we never see the angels destroying anything outside of Japan(Location of Lilith). Yes, Karou was mistaken. He thought that the angels originated from Adam. When he reached Central Dogma (location of Lilith) and saw Lilith, He then realized that the angels originated from Lilith, and not Adam. He was expecting to find Adam there but didn't. Remember all of the angels were drawn to Central Dogma. Kaworu included. In Central Dogma if you rewatch the sequence carefully Kaworu never makes contact with Lilith. Had he done so, he would have started the 3rd impact. Kaworu is also known as Tabris (the Patron of Freewill). He gives up his quest and allows humans the choice to make their own future-- ie return to Lilith. The angels goal was the same as the humans. To control their own destinies/ evolution. The only way of doing so is to make contact with Lilith. From your own reasoning there should have been a 3rd impact in the very 1st episode when Shinji's unit one(Clone of Adam) battled Sachiel (from Adam). It didn't happen because the Angels, evas and Human all come from Lilith. Lilith isn't really an angel. Heres a list of all the Angels: 1) Adam 2) Unknown (Eva?) 3) Sachiel (1st ep) 4) Shamshel (maroon flying dildo) 5) Ramiel (Diamond Flying Fortress) 6) Gaghiel (Underwater, Asuka's first) 7) Israfel (The split twin angels) Sandalphon (Magma Diver) 9) Matarael (Spider Acid) 10) Sahaquiel (Orange eyeball dropping AT field) 11) Ireul (virus) 12) Leliel (Dirac's Ocean) 13) Bardiel (Unit-03) 14) Zeruel (cow-turtle paper armed eaten by Unit-01) 15) Arael (killed by Longinus) 16) Armisael (DNA strand Rei killer) 17) Tabris (Kaoru...Rei?) 18) Lilims (Human Beings)
  24. You guys are mixing some things up. All Life originates from Lilith. Adam included. Adam is the first angel, but he isn't the source of all life, Lilith is. According to Hebrew Scripture Adam had wife (Lilith) before Eve (Think Eva). They went splitsville and he marries Eve. In NGE, Lilith is merely an representation of mother nature. All things must return to Lilith Dust to dust ashes to ashes. Adam is only the source of the Eva's. They're clones of Adam. Thats why Tabris(Kawarou) was able to control Asukas unit 02. If Adam was the source of all life then whenever a Angel engaged one of the Evas(clone of Adam) in combat there would be a 3rd impact. Since he(adam) isn't the source of all life, we never see that scenario. From the RCB Angels] (SHITO) Some lifeforms originated from the source of lifeform which is called "Lilith". It could be any size or shape: a big octahedral, a form as small as the size of bacteria, or even a shadow which has no tangible form. Borrowing the words from Fuyutsuki's dialogue in ep.26, it seems that "Angels" got the "Fruit of Life" whereas human got the "Fruit of Intelligence". It can be said that "Angels" is just another form of human, with the same probability of appearance as human. Human is thus the 18th Angel. From Misato's own mouth. We are the 18th angel who were born from the source of life in which we call Lilith. Other angels were possibily another race of beings who threw away their physical shapes. They were doomed to a sad existence because they rejected each other. We, people are the same
  25. In EOE I think it is Kawarou or Shinji's Mom that tells Shinji that those with the will to live can return from the LCL if they so choose and retain their individual personas. The angels and all human originate from the same Source, Lilith. Kaworou thought that the angels descended from Adam. He was mistaken. He might have been lied to by Seele. When he entered terminal Dogma and saw lilith(the Being that the angels were being drawn towards) He realizes that he had been mistaken. He gives up his life b/c he realizes that there is only space for either the human race or the angels. He felt that the humans were more deserving.
