    I might have spoken too soon! I just got a notice in my mailbox that there's a parcel waiting for pickup
  2. CoryHolmes
    Really? I ordered as well and haven't heard squat from them.
  3. CoryHolmes
    Great. Forever will not unsee. I hope you're happy with yourself!

    I love this maligned mini-mecha more than most. It perfectly fits the narrative I've invented for my head-canon Second Generation.

    Oh, hush you. You can take your stoopid "reality" and "facts" and eject them out the ship Among Us style!

    I'm torn. I love Godzilla 2016 because of how serious it is, but I love these because of how goofy they are. Which do I support more???

    And to think that you've doubted me all this time when I said there was demand for quality Southern Cross mecha 😁

    Will the rerelease be... um... released here in Canada? The interwebz didn't answer me.

    That's a good thing, then. I hate when TV shows have unnecessary padding, and they all do.

    I'm a dum-dum who was so excited that he didn't read the post all the way through. PM sent with my requests, Captain!

    It's a film? I thought it was a TV series!

    Mere words don't suffice to articulate how I feel about this. A picture is worth a thousand words, so... *ahem* After all that inarticulate screeching of joy, you can put me down for 2 kits. Possibly 3, depending on how things go but I'm good for 2! This isn't quite my birthday, but it sure does feel like it!

    They do look very nice 🤔

    I know I'm in the minority, but I really didn't like Prey at all. I'm hoping the sequel is better for me.

    Hmmmmmm. This isn't as awful as the rest, and if it were a bit more in my price range I'd be tempted.

    They're too busy and have way too much going on. While it's more a sign of the times it was animated in, there's something clean and elegant about the original Cyclone design.

    All I want is more Mon Mothma in Coruscant. The fact that it's wrapped up in a show called "Andor" is meaningless to me, I know what I like.

    Call me crazy (and people often do) but I don't like Zendaya's a great actress or particularly good-looking.

    I think I still prefer the Lynch version of the Sandworms, though. Tri-lobed mouths for the win!

    As far as I'm concerned, the greatest line in any of the adaptions comes from the Miniseries. "Without the Spice the Navigators will become blind, the Bene Gesserit will lose all powers, and all commerce between the Great Houses will cease! Civilization will end! If I am not obeyed? Then the Spice... will not flow." Paul has them all by the short'n'curlies and nobody is willing to test his willingness to do it. The Guild always chooses the safest paths, and the Bene Gesserit prefer to work from the shadows. As an aside, I really like Irulian's walk across the palace floor in the Miniseries. She's smart enough to see the way out of the mess and is willing to do it; in the movie she needed the Reverend Mother to explain what needed to be done.

    Just came back from watching Part Two. I know I'm in the minority when it comes to taste in media, but this was a terrible movie. All my worst fears were confirmed, they cut out so much plot from the novel that it jumped from topic to topic, barely pausing to let things sink in before info-dumping into the next scene. Even the individual moments weren't that good, imho. I felt it lacked a sense of... epicness, for lack of a better term. Paul riding the sandworm had little build up and thus it became a little thing (I also subtract a million points for the lack of epic Stilgar air guitar 😤). I found the Baron to continue being underwhelming as a villain. Miniseries Baron is the Best Baron, and I'll fight anyone who claims otherwise! Same with Fayed, just suffered from a lack of air time to flesh out his character. Miniseries Fayed had the grace to be a smarmy, epic douchebag of a villain. I did enjoy this Gurney and Stilgar, though. Both had wonderful lines and enjoyable characterization. And the epic duel at the end? Not so epic. The Emperor had almost no impact or presence, miniseries Irulian is the superior Irulian, and everyone here just seemed to be going through the motions. The big battle, the culmination of Paul's revenge against those who murdered his House? Done in a blink of an eye and then he's walking in on everyone and doing his thing. Was I expecting another Battle of Helm's Deep? Naw, but of the three versions of this battle put to screen thus far, this is the weakest.

    But that's part of his fallen angel tragedy to me. He's a shining example of intelligence without free will, compelled to create perfection out of nothingness. And nobody knows if his laser rifles or light cycle butt-beams would work or not. Nobody's checked what happens when a Program comes into the real world. But I concede that the Clu thing was the least threatening plot ever. At least the MCP, for all its contempt for humans, knew that the bigger threat was to muck around with the data it COULD access. Besides that, everyone knows that Rinzler was the better enemy anyway 😜

    I disagree about the "not well-written" part. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I think the way it implies parts of its story without clubbing people over the head with it was a refreshing change. It took me a few viewings to really appreciate some of what it was telling. But the visuals and the oft-praised music are <CENSORED> awesome. It's hard to pick a favourite scene because there are so many parts that individually enjoyable!

    I want this to be good. I really, really want this to be good. Tron: Legacy took a few viewings but it's become one of my favourite films ever.
