Ignoring the line art all together for a second, I think the 1/48 nose just looks better than the v.2 1/60. the longer pointier nose looks better and the canopy on the v.2 looks too tall with the pilot too far forward. the v.1 1/60 is a over exaggerated, Too pointy and needle like. the 1/60 is overly stubby. the 1/48 is right in the middle.

the official prototype scheme is butt ugly, and requires a new canopy. I acutally would like the "3rd production unit" scheme that was featured in Model graphics magazine in 2003 I'd also like to see this or the moon shooters scheme

I've seen the directors cut, seen the documentary, still hate it the most out of all the films. the CG of the alien in 3 was just pitiful and destroying the Suraco and killing off Hicks and Newt before the movie even starts was a cheap cop out to use a weak plot that tries too hard to do what the first movie did and fails heavily. setting the film in a Prison with no guards was stupid (I always thought the wood planet would have actually been better, it would have been nice to introduce a new look other than 'Greasy mechanic in space' and 'Geiger painting', even though I love Geiger. also the idea of setting the film in a monastery would have worked better in my mind than a prison.) as was having her impregnated with a Queen with no explanation as to how or why. and most of all the stupid maternal connection between ripply and the aliens crap started with 3 and while not as blatant and screwed up as in 4, it was still bad. And I love the second film. the First one was obviously the best, but the second was really good and far better than 3,4 and both the AVP movies. As great as the first movie is, after you've seen both the original and director's cut 30+ times each and know the whole film by heart, the creepiness and suspense kind of wear off a little. Aliens on the other hand never gets old, the characters are still compelling, the dialog still classic, the action still intense and the special effects still good.

actually I think seeing Kevin Bacon getting stabbed through the neck with an arrow was worth seeing

the Galaxy was a corporate venture but it was still a part of the NUNG and it's military force was officially part of the NUNS. The way I see it, the Galaxy was built and funded by the private corporations, but was chartered under NUNS. the consortium responsible for the Galaxy fleet probably drew up the plans for a fleet and brought it to Spacy who gave it the go ahead as part of their SLREF program, commissioning it as the 21st macross fleet. the reason the Macross 21 was launched only a year after the Macross 1 is that even though it was commissioned after all the other Fleet it was probebly built in non-spacy operated dry docks so it could be built at the same time as the Macross 1 and most likely be built at a faster pase than a military run construction.

coming to SciFi channel the Saturday after.

this is why I never really liked SW, to me it always felt like every cliche Fantasy ever written, only this time in space. It wasn't THAT bad. as a kid I loved it and I still find it fun to watch. the movie was shallow and lacking all the philosophical/technical banter that made the book good, but the action sequences and quality of special effects still make it fun to watch when you just want to be entertained. Jurassic park is the epitome of Spielberg films; such an exciting, flashy ride that you don't notice how stupid it was until it's over. and the original Andromeda strain movie was good, very true to the book (which is my favorite Crichton novel) I never watched the first one you mentioned, but at first I thought that you were talking about the Tom cruise version. I have a hard time finding words to describe how much I hate that film. rarely have I ever wanted to see every member of a films cast die as much as I did while watching that movie. f**k you Steven Spielberg, F**k you. I actually have sat through the C. Thomas Howell version more times than the Spielberg version. although the Howell version was absolute crap. the squeal was even worse. It was bad. Actually the 1960's George Pal film was better, cheesy late 50's/early 60's special effects and all. I did like the scene with Orlando Jones as the holographic librarian, but that's it. Alien 3 was worse than Resurrection, only the end of Resurrection sucked, 3 was that level of bad throughout. of course that's all hypothetically speaking as everone knows there were no sequels after James Cameron made Aliens, the 3rd and 4th films are just a myth >/denial< I'd also like to throw this out: while I love blade runner, I nominate it for worst directors cut ever. The original was perfect the way it was; the directors cut is too long, needlessly confusing, and doesn't even have Harrison Ford's awesome narration which was the best part of the whole movie.

Omg, that movie is so great. that's one of those movie's that really good when board and with friends or High. or both. we actually watched that back to back with the animated version of the lion, the witch and the wardrobe in my scifi lit class last year, good times. I haven't been following this thread so I have no idea if people think this is a good idea or not. I always liked the hobbit more than LotR.

it's interesting that, based on when the 21 was completed,at least the first 21 fleets were commissioned before 2030. I wonder why it took so long to finish the 7 though?

damn... My 1S is already payed for so all this weighting sucks, course If I hadn't already payed for this I would have canceled by now ( super broke right now)

aparently that's the last thing the Macronization chamber grows since she clearly has them. creepy thought about that. even though she looks like a loli she's technically not underage.

nobody knows, but I have a feeling that either battle Galaxy is completely inside of Galaxy Mainland such that it's not visible from the outside; or they are acutely never connected.

Is it wrong that I a) did not realize right away that you were joking and b) was not surprised or bother by this at all?

why does everyone rag on The Postman, Postman was a decent (ridiculously long but decent) movie. Much better than Waterworld (which wasn't that bad either) and orders of magnitude better than Dances with wolves (if were talking about Kevin Costner films). as for the truly worst movie. From a quality perspective only (i.e. worst acting, worst writing, worst directing, worst special effects etc. etc.) I'd say Plan 9 but the scifi Film with the fewest redeeming qualities however is for me Battlefield earth. I prefer to not count the strait to DVD Mockbuster, Scifi channel Saturday evening movie crap as they aren't even trying to be decent movies. also one more things; if we're going to be bringing up SW episode 1, I'd like to say that the original SW trilogy is the single most overrated pile in all of SciFi. Star Wars is unoriginal cliche schlock, and people eat this sh*t up.

you start with the camera zoomed in on the subject then zoom out as the camera takes the picture. you really need a camera like a SLR where you can manually manipulate the zoom.

let me guess, zooming in and out mid exposure?

Luca gets shot up almost as many times as Alto, and he's not even fighting!

Looks like somebody forgot to take their meds this morning. It's just a movie; a stupid, funny action movie based off a cheesy 80's cartoon show created to sell toy's from japan to small children. whoa, what now?

a Skull-1 impostor with VF-0 missiles doing it with S&M Milia...

oddly enough the only VF-25's that get shot down are main character valks. either Alto or luca get shot down the most, fallowed by Michael.

alright people, less talky more picy... and this one is just made of so much win.

I honestly think they 1/48 looks better than the 1/60 the broad chest and long nose cone in Battroid have never bothered me, and I prefer using the fixed pose TV hands anyways. also the 1/48 has correct head placement, stouter legs, better looking nose in fighter mode, and I think the 1/60 has a fat chest. maybe I'm the only one that thinks this but the 1/60 looks pregnant from the side. at the same time, I think the 1/60 look to (not as good but good) and while it's not as big or overall nice looking. In has better details and they've got variants that I can't get in 1/48 so I'm going to be getting some 1/60's

I wasn't aware there were adult hot wheels, I'm intrigued though

one happy, chuncky family...

that's mean, just cause he's an unlearned heathen
