The Shade

Many say it shows what Ninja Scroll TV series should have been. Lotsa gore, fast-packed ninja action and some nicely-boobed female ninjas

Hmmm... sounds interesting

The last series I watched was Sousei No Aquarion. It was just too corny for my tastes. I'm taking a break from anime and am now watching a classic 60s tv series: Thunderbirds. It's fun and actually holds up pretty well by today's standards.

Picked up some Fighters. I'm trying to get some Y wings but get out bid all the time on E bay.

The pic's angle makes it seem as if the rebel fighters are about to be shot at by the TIE fighters. All while flying over planet Spongebob?

drifand, that mod can only make me think of one thing to say:

"Now witness the firepower of this fully armed, and operational MP SS!"

I'd gladly vote for one which says "This movie must be stopped... no matter the cost."

Oh yeah, and then the REAL transformers appear in the middle of the movie and beat the ever loving hell out of these wannabes.

Submit your line? This movie was doomed as soon as Michael Bay became attached to it. Now, they're just grinding it into the dust.

I'm Canadian, I like "good" french film, and I like French Fries

As a fellow Canadian, did you catch "Bon Cop, Bad Cop"?

Since I'm viewing this thread from work, I'll try to catch that trailer from home tonight.

The purist in me is crying out blasphemy. But, I'm wondering why they're not going farther that just changing the effects and re-recording the music. Why not digitally remove & replace the sets, in order to have a better architectural continuity with Ent & NG? (I know this would cost a fortune, but what the hey!)

Oh, you mean like Robocop 2 & 3? Or like Sin City, which did OK, but certainly wasn't a blockbuster by any means.

Robocop 2 & 3 may have been written by Miller, but what you saw on the screen bore virtually no resemblance to his screenplays. Ah, studio interference. How I loathe thee.

Sin City may not have been a blockbuster, but it's still one of the best comic book movies out there.

As for the 300 trailer, after another viewing, I've downgraded my approach to cautiously optimistic. The fx and the acting seemed to be a bit too cheesy to me. Maybe we're just seeing some very early post production work.

I smell another Frank Miller winner.

It's not just their old releases that can be messed up. Just look at the recent release of "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro" special edition. In their infinite wisdom, Manga decided to replace the animation for the opening credits with a bunch of still images, just so that they wouldn't have to show the Japanese text during the credits, instead, showing English credits superimposed on the still images.

Better that Prime than

this one.

Or this one, for that matter:

I meant since "End of Evangelion".

I have to say, I like some of the new board functions, especially the quick edit option.

Well, I'm currently 2/3 into this show.

The good: the mecha designs (even though they're seem to be a mix of M+ & NGE)

The bad: virtually everything else.

-The good guys - not really one likeable character in there. Everyone seems to be nothing more than a selfish brat.

-The villains - are they really villainous? They seem more like bored people trying to pass the time.

-The sexual innuendo - ah come on! Every time I see some hint of sex, I just roll my eyes, especially during the combining into Aquarion part

-The story - only so-so. You can tell there's something coming, but they're just taking too much of their sweet time getting to it.

I don't want to say that every show should be targeted at adults, but you'd think this show should at least be targeted at teens, but IMO, it seems to be more preteen.

The show also seems to be heavily overdramatic at times. They're making David Caruso of CSI Miami look good.

At 1/3 of the show, I decided to stop taking this show seriously, and start treating like a comedy/parody of the super robot genre. Since then, this series has been a bit more endurable.

Is it just me, or are the flames on Primes body reminding me of "The Fast & The Furious"? Is Vin Diesel in this movie?

This is Neon Genesis you're talking about: one of the biggest cash cows in the history of anime. Frankly, I'm suprised this wasn't done sooner.

Will it be good or bad? Dunno. But, I can already see every NGE fanboy debating just how good these movies are going to be.

What's coming out this fall is the American Voltron, English language only. (Voltron is like RT, a combination of seperate shows). Next year, the original Go Lion and Dairugger XV are coming out in their original Japanese language. The "dual language" you're seeing is probably just somebody who posted the ad incorrectly.

Thanks Shawn. Your hard work really is appreciated.

So Keith, you're saying that the Remix versions contain the same video transfers as the originals? Well, I guess I will be keeping my originals, since I don't have a 5.1 sourround sound system. I would be curious to see a comprehensive list of all the extras for the Remix set though, just to compare.

I just had either a horrible thought, or a very funny one. If this movie were to be a reboot/reimagined film a la Battlestar Galactica, would they follow their lead and change the gender of some of the characters? Can you imagine Kirk as a woman?

Now, you have to wonder if whoever will be playing Kirk will speak in some... strange... patern... broken up... sentences.

You know, by the time they release this thing, the animation is going to look awfully dated.

The red furball monster thingy isn't the abominable snowman, it's Gossamer.

Only in a few cartoons though.

D'Oh!!! I was drunk last night when I answered that. Proof positive that alcohol and message boards don't mix.

Mr. Abominableble was all white and could speak. Gossamer was red and, as far as I can remember, was mute. Daffy's reaction to seeing Gossamer was classic though.

That was the Abominable Snow Man. "Oh boy! Oh boy. Just what I've always wanted, my own wittle bunny wabbit. I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George"
