  1. About 15-20 minutes until splash down. They mentioned the first shots of the re-entry are going to be taken by one of NASA's remaining WB-57 Canberra's which is pretty cool if you ask me.
  2. Nothing beats that photo of the P-47 flying two feet off the ground.
  3. "Nobody's business" as being nobody's in the business of building circuit breakers!
  4. Complaining about package art of Godzilla when the movie posters of the first in this Legendary series had him literally the size of San Francisco...
  5. Okay I did some legal thinking about this situation, and wether you like it or not BW can't do a damned thing to CalWings about this design(albeit with a couple of small caveats). Big West doesn't own the rights to the F-14 Tomcat. Northop-Grumman does. Calwings does indeed have a license from Norththrop Grumman to produce models of the F-14 Tomcat. Big West doesn't own the copyright to the kite symbol or most of the markings(per the patent office any claim they had was abandoned years ago) outside of Japan Harmony Gold does. Calwings does indeed have a license to produce models based on Robotech from Harmony Gold, and can use the markings they own. There for they can essentially create a F-14 Tomcat with an exact identical scheme and markings as the one seen in Macross Zero. What they can't do is make reference to characters, events, and title of the show in question nor can they sell it in Japan. Those are the caveats. Hence the wording they were creating their in their own words a "fictional/fantasy" model of their Dreamcats line and the antagonistic "not MacrossZero" hastags. Big West knows they can't stop them hence their effort into actually putting out their bootleg announcement.
  6. I started losing interest about seven or eight episodes in when Gatlantis warps in a fleet of hundreds of thousands of ships that could easily overwhelm what little existed of the UN Cosmo Fleet at the edge of the solar system and instead just gathered around in a large stationary gun formation in an attempt to deathstar laser earth. This of course gives Kodai enough time to find his missing balls, set aside his peace above all else rhetoric, and fire the wave motion gun. At that point I'm like "Well... That was pretty dumb to watch."
  7. Thanks for the insight. I'm definately leaning that way towards Pearl Harbor. In other news does everyone remember the photo I posted of the JU-87 Stuka that was being restored a couple pages back? It doesn't look like it's going to be finished anytime soon. The museum that was restoring it Paul Allen's Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum announced it's permanently closing. Officially it's because of the Covid crisis, but in actuality Allen's family has decided to cut funding to pretty much every museum he was involved with before his death. They also cancelled the expeditions into the pacific to rediscover sunken wrecks.
  8. Question guys. If you were me and had two weeks vacation in september would you go to Pearl Harbor, or tour London and Normandy?
  9. I can respect Maken-Ki. It knew what it was doing and where it wanted to go and did it very well. Still if you want to see a studio's true dedication to panties you should track down Agent Aika or Najica Blitz Tactics. ...(quietly adds uncensored version to watch list.) By the way since we are on the fanservice topic, anybody even know what happened to the US release of HxH Hybrid Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia? It seems like it got the Interspecies Reviewers treatment before Interspecies Reviewers were a thing.
  10. Most Trek fans could tell you the first black female Captain was the captain of the Saratoga from the beginning of Star Trek IV the Voyage Home.
  11. Currently watching Ulysses: Jean D'arc and the Alchemist Knight... Six episodes in and it's not that bad. I expected so much worse from something the Anime New Network viewer called the worst series of 2018.
  12. So the real question is are we going to get a series that's all grimdark, serious, and depressing with unfunny 50s satire like the Bethesda games, or are with going to get something closer to the original games who's lighter tone had more in common with Red Dwarf or Naked Gun?
  13. The pulse rifle props still circulate in hollywood. Last I saw them they were being used as tasers in Godzilla King Of Monsters with the grenade launcher removed.
  14. A lot of these have opening and closing cockpits, but do any of them come with pilots?
  15. You don't need reeducation camps when you can literally convert all future generations of subjects to your cause via forced genetic manipulation.
  16. That's kind of a halmark of the MuvLuv: Alternative franchise as a whole. Solid storytelling that is just plain brutal towards it's cast. It reminds me a bit of vintage Tomino Zeta and Victory Gundam.
  17. It didn't show them because it was too busy extoling the virtues of being a sell out collaborator to genetically superior elvish space nazis who hold a monopoly on space travel.
  18. "Do you really take me for an idiot? I know that's Ghidorah not Mothra!"
  19. That was almost as bad as sitting through the movie itself.
