Jolly Rogers

Has anyone found some Easter eggs yet? There were a few on the extended version of FOTR, but I haven't had any luck finding hidden stuff on the extended version of The Two Towers yet.

There are some Shokakugan published P2 books that have a lot of production materials that give you more than just a few glimpses of the choppter. I'd recommend the P2 Complete Design Files book published under their This Is Animation label. It is relatively easy to find on Yahoo Japan auctions and the price aren't as crazy as the Methods book.

Thanks for the tips on the FOTR boxset, I was actually lamenting that I missed the chance when Costco had it for 50 bucks. It is still easily available elsewhere, but not for $50 or less.

The best price I found so far is Costco, which lists it for $49.99 at their website, 10 bucks less than Best Buy. Too bad they don't have the big box for Fellowship anymore... I'd rather have those bookends than a Gollum figure.

Eh? How did you leave out The Godfather (Part 2)? Evil Dead also had a good sequel or two.

Except the first Matrix cost only a fraction of either of its sequels. The directors were untested for all practical purposes and I think Warner only gave them about $40M to $60M to do the first Matrix. After it blew away all expectations Warner pretty much gave them a blank check for the sequels and no adult supervision (bad move).

OMG, they're already milking this one for all its worth. Whereas the previous soundtrack CDs came in 2 basic flavors - regular edition with different covers and a limited/deluxe edition, this one comes with 4 versions! #@$%! Info on all 4 versions

The evil Back button strikes again.

There's another one that claims your credit card on file at eBay is expiring and they ask you to "update your credit card info". PayPal is pretty notorious at doing nothing regarding these scams, their attitude has basically been "our customers are sophisticated enough to tell when it's a fraud" instead of sending people warnings whenever a new scam appears.

Not likely, as the name implies, the selection will be limited to Zeonic designs. The bad guys from Sentinels are called New Decides.

Stan Winston Studios were making a line of creatures action figures, and their website claimed they'd make a line of Aliens and Colonial Marines figures for series 2, but these never materialized. Probably because Fox gave the license to McFarlane...

Both the game and the 3rd movie. In the game, one of the characters you play asked the Oracle why she looks different and she alluded to her being killed in order to save a program created by 2 other programs in love. That was that and no additional details were provided until the 3rd movie.

Does it matter? From the look of things, it'll be Claire Danes' Kate Brewster who's gonna be wearing the human resistance pants, and I don't mind that one bit.

Old news, there was a thread about this with tons of excellent pictures months ago. The Queen does not seem scaled to the colonist host though. I prefer the Kenner Queen playset that comes with the egg sack.

He did OK paying the Doc's ex off. I am pretty sure this move will come back to haunt him as the truth of his attempting to pay off people to buy their silence becomes public.

A bounty is offered on the game's first 2 Jedis

Anyone buying the T3 DVD that comes out tomorrow should listen to Mr. Governor's commentary regarding the T-X's size-adjusting boobies.

Same here, I had 2 PS1s and both were modded. The modding caused the head unit's motor to act a bit weird sometimes but for the most part it remained functional ever since I bought them. My PS2 never had any problems and it's one of the earlier generation model. The SNES however had problems since day one, sometimes a cart won't load at all, sometimes there'd be problems with the A/V out.

You forgot that the Trainman had a cameo in Enter the Matrix as well. Like the Frenchman, he's seen it all before and tells your character something about the events to come.

My theory is that there's an unwritten rule at Bandai regarding Gundam that dictates Japan has to have a superior version if something is released in the U.S. Besides the model kits I've listed earlier in the thread, we also see that LWC, an enhanced game using an improved Journey to Jaburo engine, never saw a U.S. release. Even figures that came out in the US first, such as the Gundam GP01, were re-designed and see a Japanese release that is completey different and features better joints and sculpting. Lesson: buy imports if they're gonna treat U.S. releases as second-class products.

You've posted some good links except where to get the ROM images...

There's another thread for spoilers: Matrix spoiler thread

Fansub? Isn't the official release out already?

I've transformed my VF-11 (original issue) several times and never had any problems with the hip joints. The only problem I had was with the parts fitting in perfect symmetry in fighter mode. Maybe it's a case of massive QA problem where most people get the bum version.
