    Yeah Hideaki Anno was complaining about this as far back as 1996.

    Starship Troopers?

    So... The trend of a Midway film cribing battle scenes from earlier movies continues. :P

    Sorry about the B-25 rant guys, but I've noticed something else that's kind of nagging me. For a movie called Midway there's actually very little of the actually battle shown. Everything we see in the trailer is either Pearl Harbor, Doolittle Raid, Coral Sea, or the Air Raid on Rabaul that was launched over the Owen Stanley mountains. Only the last five minutes with the Dauntless dive bomber are of the Midway battle. If they spent that much money for sfx on things that aren't the actual battle I really have to wonder how much of it we will actually see.

    In regards to the Midway trailer F*** Emmerich and F*** the SFX guys. These dumb***** still can't get the right model of B-25 for the Doolittle Tokyo Raid just like they screwed it up in Pearl Harbor. They're never going to get it right because film makers are too lazy to ever visit any other airplane museum than Chino's Planes of Fame so everytime a B-25 it's modeled off their B-25J with its tailgun position and side cockpit gunpods. Nevermind the USAF has a perfectly fine B-25B that is the exact same type used on the raid and bearing the raiders livery.

    The next movie has already finished filming with Godzilla vs Kong coming next year.

    This is the answer whenever we look at box office returns and wonder how a garbage film that made only 20 million domestically makes 400 million there.

    Meh. Winning 1-2-3 at the 1967 24 hours of Daytona means little when you went on to get curb stomped by Ford at Le-Mans the next three years.

    Never forget, the Ford GT40 exists solely as a giant F*** YOU to Ferrari for them pulling out of a merger because the euro trash thought Ford was too low brow and beneath them.

    I need to go so I can do the droid workshop experience. Yeah it's expensive, but slapping together your own large remote control R series or BB unit looks really cool. I want to build an R5 unit so badly!

    So I just rewatched i. and I have a question...
  12. renegadeleader1
    One thing that I forgot to mention yesterday that is really cool for me personally.

    I saw the film this morning and give it a C+. Positives-Effects are amazing, and the monster battles are exellent. There are a lot of tributes and references to the classic Toho Godzilla films, especially the Heisei era. Negative-I have to agree with the critics the human scenes are the weakest part of the film. It's not just boardroom discussions on how how to kill the monsters, that's fine by me as it's a staple of the series. It has more to do with some of these characters having truly grating personalities or just being down right unlikable. One character in particular is possibly the worst person I have ever seen and by the end I plain despised them with a passion.

    Sad news guys. Last night a tornado tore through Dayton Ohio and hit the USAF museum. I'm not sure how much damage was done, but the early years hangar has been closed off for repairs for the time being. Here's a list of what was in that hangar. https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Early-Years-Gallery/ Some pretty rare stuff like the only remaining Martin B-10, and one of only two remaining original Caprioni Ca.36 WWI bombers.

    Well I've seen it. My opinion? It's okay. I was entertained, and didn't feel ripped off. I'd say it's biggest faults are the musical interludes. They tended to have a habit of interrupting the flow of the film with the exception of a couple(friend like me and Prince Ali). The interludes just don't mesh well or as seamlessly as original did, and Jasmine's new song is just bad. Maybe the film should have axed the musical and made a straight up adventure film? The climax doesn't hold up as well as the original either. The best parts were the banter between the Genie and well... Pretty much everyone. If I had to pick the best part it would be the formal introduction of Prince Ali and Jasmine. That scene alone is almost worth the admission. Overall I'd say it's maybe worth a rent or watching with your kids or loved ones when it hits cable.

    Anyone that thinks Picard working with section 31 needs to remember he took part in a covert espionage action against the Cardassian Empire whom the Federation was at "peace" with at the time. This event led to his capture and torture(the five lights episode). There was also the time where he faked his own death to infiltrate a mercenary crew who were after a vulcan super weapon. Also he was perfectly fine commiting genocide of the borg until he got talked out of it. He's a good diplomat, but he isn't above getting his hands dirty.

    "Charlie's gonna like you..." Oh great. Charles Manson.
  18. renegadeleader1
    If you think about it they really set up for a sequel with this one to be made 5-10 years down the road.

    In before the Sister of Battle ends up being the highest seller of the line because we all know how much the Japanese love their sexy yandere girls in loligoth attire.

    So I haven't been able to watch much of this, but I have a question. Have they addressed who or what Quaithe was, or did they just drop that entire plot line altogether?
  21. renegadeleader1
    I was having a discussion elsewhere and I really want your guys opinions on the subject of space planes... We really aren't that far off from the point where airlines, corporations, and nations with small economies can afford to start sending up passenger craft, light transports, and generally putting whatever anybody wants into orbit are we? Ten to fifteen years maybe less? Just looking at that stratolaunch on the previous page got me thinking that the relatively low cost of essentially building a space X type space plane and staplegunning two 747's together isn't as insurmountable as say a orbiter shuttle or multi-stage rocket used to be.

    Wrong Death Star.

    Another thing that makes that R1 scene absurd that I've comented on before is how he goes from being the first one through the breach smacking fools to in ANH being the last one through the breach calming surveying all the dead bodies. If this was the ship that blasted away from him just a short time ago you know damn well he would have been the first one through smacking head again. Now he just looks like a lazy chump taking his time boarding ESPECIALLY since the plans managed to make it off the ship. As for this remade duel it is just as dumb as the flippy dippy prequel stuff. This isn't a wushu martial arts exhibition with fancy splits and ribbons flying through the air, it is a DUEL. TO. THE. DEATH. Minimalism is good. Maintaing a solid guard and countering is smart. Attempting those sommersauts, backflips, and spins will just waste energy and get yourself killed.

    Wrong character. Batgirl(Barbara Gordon) isn't Batwoman(Kate Kane).
  25. renegadeleader1
    Meh... The only thing they got right with casting was bringing in an actual lesbian. This is going to bomb hard.
