    I remember the pigs in space skits from the muppet show, and how muppet babies had entire episodes dedicated to it, but what I meann is an entire film like Muppet Treasure Island or Muppet Christmas Carol.

    So, how long will it be before we get muppet star wars?

    In a way its hard for me to view Alec as a true evil villan or bad guy. Unlike most of the other Bond enemies he had a damn good reason for everything he did. As a Cossack his people in light of the purges post revolution viewed the soviets as the greater evil fought for the germans in WWII. At the end of the war the British gathered them up man, woman, and child into prison camps for repatriation, something the Cossacks knew was certain death. At Lienz the British met with camp leaders and lied to them that they were all going to a conference with top ranked leaders. When they found out what was really going on they resisited and were then fired apon, beaten, and forced into trains before being turned over to the Soviets who promptly started executing them within earshot of the British. What makes it worse for Alec is his family survived the ordeal fleeing to England where his father out of grief and survivors guilt snapped and in a homicidal rage killed everyone in his family before killing himself leaving Alec an orphan. In light of this I really can't blame him for wanting to take revenge on the two countries that destroyed his life. His hatred of Bond comes from him resetting the facility bombs from 5 to 3 minutes blowing half his face off, and the fact that he's an unquestioning lap dog.

    It was originally written as a low budget script sequel ordered by Lucas should Star Wars not do well at the box office. It is in fact the earliest EU work if you don't count the original marvel comics.

    So do you need a working knowledge of Japanese to order from these .co.jp sites? I want to pick up the three episode AIKa Zero blu-ray now that bandai has crap the bed in the states making a domestic release look all but impossible.

    That's the plot of the shitty New Jedi Order books. The novels went to hell after del rey got the publishing rights from bantam, and started killing off character's left and right for little more than shock value.

    The shuttles move to New York has already been a disaster having suffered water damage when they decided to be cute and float it up the Hudson unprotected, and now this. I don't give a damn about the museum being an aircraft carrier, most of the frames on that deck are very rare and should NEVER be exposed to the elements. The shuttle would be better off moved inside the New England Air Museum at Windsor Locks CT. Either that more preferably the USAF museum.

    Well I thought about and I did find one issue with this sale to Disney, it could kill Dark Horse comics. The SW comics are its bread and butter, its biggest sellers, but Disney already has its own comic company with Marvel. I don't see it ending well. Either DH gets bought out by Disney or loses its license and slowly dies.

    That would be an easy tradition to keep with the castle logo.

    Word of advice keep building satalites, even if you don't have the uplink or nexus for them. They take forever to build so stockpiling while you can saves time.

    This is true. Like I touched upon in the Prometheus thread plot wise there is almost no difference between it and King Kong. Powerful guy finances a ship to sail to a mysterious place no one has ever been using an old cryptic map for his own special reason. Once there he discovers ancient ruins, doesn't find exactly what he's looking for, everything is hostile, and crew starts dying. Powerful man finds something else, tries to control it, and chaos ensues. Big beast obsessively chases main girl, ends up dead after getting distracted by other enemy. Main girl survives more or less all alone. The End.

    Per the telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/silvio-berlusconi/8410667/Silvio-Berlusconi-the-man-of-2500-court-hearings.html

    Reading into Silvio Berlusconi's previous legal troubles, and apparently in Italy it DOES work that way. Twice he was convicted and was set free during appeal due to statute of limitations.
  14. renegadeleader1
    At the end of the day this is going to mean nothing. The main guy who the Italians were after already had his sentence reduced to a single year. That's without using any of his appeals which may take years to run their course. In the meantime everyone convicted is free pending said appeals. The United States also will not extradite a 80+ year old man unless he's a war criminal or wanted for a violent crime. Even then its iffy. Also 3-5 years is usually average for tax evasion not a slap on the wrist. Anything longer like Capone's 11 year sentence is considered excessive. Another thing is if the Japanese corporations really gave a damn about criminals involved in projects that coke head gun nut Nishizaki would have had his creative control of Yamato stripped years ago. Tatsunoko also isn't going to turn its back on a compnay that stood with them during the battle over the SDF:Macross rights. HG itself was cleared of any involvement in this case, with all of the charges falling on Agrama himself. The last matter that has been touched apon elsewhere is the statute of limitations is running out sometime in 2013. I'm not as familiar with Italian law, but the plan might be to appeal then squat on it untill time runs out.

    Well I just pre-ordered WWE 13. Looks to be pretty good this year, they dropped the road to wrestlemania and added an attitude era storyline. They've finally stopped gimping the Diva's division allowing them to have 6 women matches and partake in most of the regular matches they were blocked from. Roster highlights: Current and classic Rock Stone Cold Steve Austin Dx, current, and blue blood HHH Lita Trish Stratus Farooq(NOD+acolytes) and Bradshaw(acolyte+JBL) Ken Shamrock Road Dogg and Mr. Ass Billy Gunn DDP Diamond Dallas Paige(DLC) Brian Pillman N.O.D and current Mark Henry Brett Hart Big Boss Man Road Warriors Eddie Guerrero Val Venis(DLC) And most importantly making his return appearence since the original smackdown game The Godfather complete with Ho Train! You know I'm teaming him with Brodus "funkasaurus" Clay in universe mode. Finally in case any of you and wondering what the pre-order bonus is, its.... "Iron" Mike Tyson.

    I'm pretty sure the "end turn for the entire turn button" for the PS3 is select. On the 360 its the back button.

    I have the Xbox 360 version. The cool thing is there's not much of a difference between versions. The only advantage a pc version has is like all PC games: the ability to mod the game. The developers definatly didn't dumb this thing down for the consoles.

    Now keep in mind I haven't seen this film yet(planning for this weekend), but apparently the premise is the mob owns a time machine sending people they don't like back in time to disapear, so a guy sent back before them can whack them and dispose of the bodies. I gotta asks, what's preventing them from just sending someone back in time right into the mouth of a volcano, or at crush depth under the ocean? Why send a hitman back in the first place?
  19. renegadeleader1
    So no duct tape mod needed?

    If I remember correctly a couple of the toys ended up being released in the original G1 transformers line, alongside Microman, Diaclone, macross, and what ever company originally put out Omega Supreme, and Shockwave.

    Yeah I was just being a wise arse nothing more, I don't exactly hate Gatsby, but I don't much care for required reading in school. Especially books like Bridge To Terabithia(yeah I'm going on a cool trip, forget telling my one only friend, and leave her to die alone in a forest creek), The Giver(dystopian anti-conformist garbage), That Was Then This Is Now(jerkwad teens do drugs and steal cars untill bad stuff happens), To Kill A Mockingbird(well written, but it all comes down to racist hicks convict innocent black man, father gets away with abusing daughter), and worst of all A Catcher In The Rye(obnoxious emo douche with OCD invades New York can't even lay a hooker and makes fun of gays). I did like Macbeth, War & Peace, Hamlet, and several others all of which were better written than Prometheus. Btw who is Dan Brown? The Da Vinci guy? The last none sci-fi/fantasy novels I've read have been Rainbow Six, Sun Tzu's Art Of War, and Bernard Cornwell's various historical fiction. This...

    Yes and Jersey Shore is reality tv's commentary on the "American Dream," wealth, and materialism in the 2010's. Just because its old doesn't make it good.

    I'm playing X-com for the 360. I agree the game does move fast, maybe a little too fast. I was actually having quite a bit of trouble untill I figured out building a satalite uplink and satalite are directly responsible for earning money and shooting down UFO's. I also noticed that capturing enemies gets you their weapon intact and shooting them gets the broken parts. Exploding them gets you nothing.

    That's the point I was trying to make with those Kong quotes. Those glaring character issues hurt the movies believabilty pretty badly and the film loses its sence of grounding. All Eugimon has done to explain it is make conjecture, and cite bad horror movie tropes, like its suddenly okay for a movie to be poorly written because other films were poorly written first. Yes the movie has dialog on creation/religion/father/son/offspring, but once the idiot pets the worm it all gets dumped for an uneven zombie murderfest combined with "hey I want immortality dammit! Wake the cranky alien!"
