To be honest I really can't stand the films final message about "bad things happen and its nobody's fault." I haven't seen such a display of blind moronic optimisim since reading voltaire's candide in school. Thinking it over this comment from that review I posted fits my feelings best We really wanted to like “Super 8,” but as we said, it’s a MIRAGE, an ILLUSION of the movies we all grew up with and love. Abrams masterfully used IMPRINTING to give the illusion that you were watching a Spielberg movie. There were imprints of E.T.. Goonies, and Close Encounters throughout the movie, so if you’ve seen those movies, it activates good memories buried in your brain. It’s a good movie by ASSOCIATION, not by any actual merit.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
renegadeleader1 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Thanks to netflix I've begun watching some older anime starting with the original Dangaioh release from manga entertainmant. WORST AMERICAN RELEASE EVER!!! Horribly painful dub only, no subtitles, poor picture quality, and the first episode is missing replaced by a 10 min prolog that is impossible to follow. As for the show itself its okay. The fighters that make up Dangaioh look like underdeveloped valkyrie fetuses(Kawamori was the mech designer). The robot itself looks like someone just removed all the armor plates from Mazinger and called it a new robot. The character designs are definately what to expect from the classic 80s. I liked how the pilots themselves each had unique abilities almost to the point of me thinking this must be x-men meets getter robo. Also as far as endings go this one is pretty unique. I'm used to downer melancholy endings but... To be honest I have to say I enjoyed Great Dangaioh alot better, even though it has 99.9% nothing to do with this show untill the last two episodes!!! -
I just watched this along with super 8, and I have to say it was a very enjoyable movie. My only grip is that it would have been a heck of movie even if it just focused on Magneto and his quest for revenge. As for it being a reboot I'm not 100% certain on it. If anything it might fit into continuity with just the first X-men movie and the rest of the series(II, III, origins) will be retconned.

Well guys I just got back from watching it, and I can't say I cared for it. Much of what I felt is summed up here http://theauditorz.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/why-we-h8te-super-8/ Warning there are spoilers so don't look if you plan on seeing it. Then again I really wouldn't recommend seeing it.

Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm
renegadeleader1 replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah she was a pale skinned redhead in the first starcraft. After she became a hybrid in brood war her skin darkened and she grew those dreadlock style things from her head that are actually a weapon. She's not 100% human yet. EDIT: according to the official site that female zerg thing is called Izsha. Apparently it was created as a sort of living hard drive Kerrigan stored her thoughts and plans on. Taking that into consideration Izsha is either going to backstab Kerrigan when she doesn't do something the queen of blades would have done or act like a little evil conscience and whisper "kill everyone" to kerrigan when ever she gets a chance.- 44 replies

For those of you that think a movie will be great because its trailer looked dark and epic, I remind you of this... -
The original Mortal Kombat game was inspired by Enter the Dragon, Big Trouble in little China, and American Ninja movies.

The WWE and Pro-Wrestling Thread 2
renegadeleader1 replied to Apollo Leader's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I suddenly have a new respect for John Cena after sunday's "over the limit". For about 3 minutes The Miz beat on Cena's stomach with a kendo stick while Alex Riley held him in a no dq I quit match. I know wrestling is fake and all, but the Miz wasn't holding back with his swings and the marks just looked nasty. I haven't seen a beating like that since that little punk got his ass caned in singapore.- 715 replies

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

I completely agree. In a way At world's end kinda screwed up this movie though. Imagine what this movie would have been like if Norrington wasn't killed and he had Barbossa's part, and Barbossa led the spaniards.- 87 replies

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v3.0
renegadeleader1 replied to wolfx's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I finished Starship Operators, and I have mixed feelings. After the first four episodes the show kinda switches gears and gets more serious as political workings start to influence everything. By the time the series ended I had a bad taste in my mouth. Quite a few characters do a lot of really stupid things for no good reason and in the end the sacrfices don't appear to have been worth anything. A gripe I have with the ending I also watched Porco Rosso definatly one of my fav Miyazaki films. The effort put into the flying animations is stunning especially when this was before computer aids. -

This reminds me I still have that Andromeda with the motorized turrets to put together, but these new kits are they of Okita's ship from the very begining of the series? I recognized the torpedo destroyer, but wasn't Okita's ship red?

In the anime the girls have these ninja masks that they pull up from their collars over their faces during combat. I could have sworn from pictures I saw long ago that the girl figures from that set had that as a variant. BTW if you got any extras do you want to sell them to me? -

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v3.0
renegadeleader1 replied to wolfx's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I finished watching Kampfer. Personally I feel this should have been better as a 3-4 episode OVA than a 12 tv series. Its pretty much about this guy named Natsuru that somehow gets a blue bracelet attached to his wrist after he accepted a bowel familiar(don't ask) stuffed animal from the girl of his dreams. He is now a kampfer(german for fighter)with the stuffed animal as his mentor, but theres a catch only women can be kampfers... so he transforms into a hot chick every time he uses his powers. Being a blue kampfer he is supposed to fight the red kampfers. Key word there is "supposed" since many of the episodes are just about him dealing with changing back and forth between a man and a woman. The problem is his girl of his dreams loves the woman form, he has a librarian girl practically throwing herself at both his forms,the student president who is also a red kampfer is trying to seduce his male form, and apparently the rest of the girls at school are lesbians. How does he handle it? Get it on as much as he can? NOOOOOO he has to act like a traditional japanese sheltered moron and whine about everything! It was almost enough to drive me nuts. Don't get me wrong it wasn't all bad which is why I said above it would have been better as an OVA and dropped a lot of the filler highschool life and got on with the fighting and conspiracies. Some of the show is just pure insanity I think the following video(its not an AMV but an actual scene) sums it up perfectly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8E50t8eq0g Anyways aside from Kampfer I also watched "Castle of Cagliostro" on netflix. Definatly a classic and I loved every minute of it. I did find it odd with one thing. You have all these Miyazaki designed characters running around, and Lupin's gang(designed by monkey punch) seemed a little strange at first. EDIT: did I do a good job avoiding spoilers? EDIT: another cool thing is Kampfer is subtitle only and little liner notes pop up pointing things out(like the many references to gundam and voice actors) -
Well thats the thing, there is nothing "conventional" about a stealth helicopter or the missions it would undertake. Eliminating the side doors and making the sides of the aircraft more angular would help to cut down on its radar cross section. Its just a guess on my part. Then again it could be outfitted with a hydraulic door on the side similar to the F-22 or RAH-66 weapons bays. Thats probably more likely than the bomb bay to be honest. Still about the whole cutting the floor away and rerouting part, we still don't know 100% what it is. It could be a whole new chooper, a heavily modified UH-60, or even a UH-60 variant built from the ground up to be what it is. whatever it is I doubt that there are more than 3 or 4 in existance
