retracted

That's a bogus rumor. That particular section was written to be shot in B&W in the script. So far no one has reported seeing that section in color from any country. Check IMDB, there isn't a single entry in the "alternate version" section.

Welcome to last week. You must have missed THIS thread I was gonna buy one until I realized how much they are charging for an item that scales at under 2 lbs. Typical HLJ... <_<

"The horror. THE HORROR."

I think there's some dialog later that implies the Haro became a mass produced toy for kids after the One Year War, and the toy features actual lines the original Haro would utter.

Daryl Hannah will have a swordfight against Uma in volume 2. This volume 1 and 2 business is all based on part of Miramax's greed. Quentin had a 4-hour cut and wasn't willing to cut it down any further. Instead of releasing the film as-is, the greedy fat $%*#s at Miramax decided to split it into halves and make twice the money instead. If the "intentionally choppy edits" you refer to are the red dots on a empty, white screen that may flash a few times througout the film (I didn't notice them when I saw it but many reported being annoyed by these interruptions when they saw the film), it's a tracking devise Miramax inserted into the film so they can ID which theaters the bootlegs are being made from.

Ever tried Fates Warning's - "Pleasant shade of grey"? Nope, any good? How would you describe them ("Iron Maiden meets prog rock", etc.)?

LOL... Ichi the Killer... now that is ultraviolent. Better have your barfbag ready!

And you just had to watch that attached Animatrix episode in a theater with big screen and kickass sound system, right? This is Artisan we're talking about... when was the last time they had a production with an A-list actor? None that I can think of... this is the company that makes flicks with no-name actors like Blair Witch, I think Thomas Jane is probably the first "name" actor they have. Given how Artisan crapped all over The House of the Dead, I am not holding my breath on this one even though Jane is a decent enough actor.

He rules. He's just about as cool as my favorite sushi chef.

Saw it, the violence is a little overhyped, but I didn't expect it to be so much fun. They should have released the whole movie uncut - the previews felt longer than the movie itself!

I was heavily into Yes, but their recent offerings haven't been all that exciting. I think they peaked artistically around the time when they made Close to the Edge. 90125 was totally commerical, and then the last spark went out when they split after making Union. It seems like the only interesting prog rock these days needs a bit of metal in there, like Dream Theater, Blind Guardian or Liquid Tension Experiment. Satch's the man when it comes to instrumental rock...

The progressive scan is already built into the current PS2 Network package that's selling at $199.99. Unless the Xbox is also being dropped to $99.99, I really can't see Sony feeling threatened...

What's up with the shipping they are charging? I thought SAL is supposed to be cheaper than EMS. The item is only 840 grams... that's under 2 lbs!

Unless Sony's in a hurry to dump the old generation PS2s, I don't see a need for them to drop it to $99.99. The PS2 can play DVDs, unlike the GameCube. I can't see Sony not charging a premium for that feature.

They dropped the price on Tenchu 3 already, I think it's either $29.99 or $39.99 at Best Buy. Awesome game, even comes with a 2-player mode (co-op and deathmatch) which apparently won't be included in the new game. 3 definitely lives up to be a worthy successor to the original, unlike the 2nd game.

I wonder where his other hand is...

He was doing a marathon campaign traveling up and down the state, all that stress is bound to take a toll on the body. The guy's also old now, if he's still huge and ripped, that'd be downright freaky. If anything, he's bigger than these 2 guys (and most of us):

You might have missed a follow-up post to the one you quoted. He meant it as a joke as he clearly misspelled "intelligent".

Wow, looks like he's fighting a lot of monsters from Japanese folklore. One of the screenshots shows him fighting a humanoid turtle, a popular monster Japanese parents use to warn their kids to not swim in rivers. Edit in: There is, of course, sequel to Samurai, made by Acquire, the developer that came up with the first two Tenchu games: Samurai 2 homepage

Back in the eary 1990s they made quality SW games like Xwing and TIE Fighter. Ever since the crapfest known as Rebel Assault came out, quality of their SW games have generally been average at best.

Life in the 'bu is hardcore, yo!

New screen shots from Tenchu Kurenai have been released:

News article link Interesting how they referred to Star Wars Galaxies as critically acclaimed and popular with gamers... definitely not the case based on what I've read here. Looks like the game company that George built can't hack it without using the two magic words in their game titles these days.

I personally didn't like the Gerbera Tetra Kai too much. It took away all that was good about the design of Mika Akitaka (who also designed the Gelgoog Marine) and replaced them with Katoki's trademark blockiness. Notice how the legs were shortened and fattened? All the sexy curves were gone too. The gun also doesn't look as sleek as the original design. Katoki basically took a Porsche design and Volvo-lized it!
