    I was over at starblazers.com reading the episode summeries for the third "bolar wars" series and I thought you guys appreciate this quote. " Desslok appears to have made a drinking game out of these meetings. Every time he gets a good report, he takes a drink. When the report isn't good, Desslok doesn't get a sip and is therefore cranky. When Desslok gets cranky, he shoots people."

    Never watch that film, it is exactly what you think in the maternity and much worse.

    So let me get this straight... the reapers safeguard all organic life, by killing all organic civilization before/just after they can create synthetic life and recruit said synthetics to aid them?

    The high cost of dvds and blu-rays in Japan comes from the fact that the country is more rental driven than consumer retal driven. Space is at a premium, and dvds are viewed as a luxury item so if you want to buy a series expect to pay them same as a video store would from the distributor. A $40 dvd containing 2 episodes isn't a bad price when you know you can rent it 20+ times at $10 a pop.

    Bible Black was mentioned because it was pretty much the first title people noticed something was wrong and wasn't the same as the original(nevermind the U.S. is actually uncensored compared to Japanese mosiac) with footage missing and things animated as they should be. Media Blasters looked into it and found out the company did it on purpose to try and deter domestic fans from importing the cheaper uncensored dvds. It led to a falling out between companies and the rest of the series almost never got released here.

    The problem with this is a lot of Japanese companies are afraid they will lose a cut of the cash from their own domestic dvd sales by people importing the cheaper dvd's with more episodes from the states, so they do 3 things 1) refuse to let anybody license a series untill their dvd sales run their course. 2) slap a heavy licensing fee to a series to compensate for what they see as lost sales. Or 3)deliberately sabotage their own series by editing it, censoring it, and sending out workprint editions with shoddy animation because in their eyes the "baka gaijin" aren't going to notice or care leaving the original intact of their home audience. Bible Black, Papilion Rose, and Koihime Musou are some of the titles that suffered this. There might be a 4th option of a Japanese company trying to get an American to sell a dvd with the same properties as a Japanese releise I.E. 1 or 2 episodes, little special features, and high price tag ($40-60). Its only been done a few times usually with poor results(gunbuster 2). Unicorn seems to be the exception, but people seem to be willing to pay for the qulity that show represents.

    Yeah the cube is thousands of years old possible asgardian tech, but a common theory is that the arc reactor is based on its technology and the element the cube is made of was the one Howard Stark was working on. The same one Tony created using his fathers plans in Iron Man 2.

    Don't say I didn't warn you about Ikki Tousen! In a way I consider Queens Blade more tame. I also get what you are saying about Hakafu Sonsaku, she's not very bright and is borderline mentally retarded considering some of the things she gets herself into. I think there was a backlash against this prior to the second season as she gains braincells and is more on the competent ditzy side the second time around closer to how she is in the manga. As for Kanu she plays a minor part in the first season, but becomes a major player in the second as the focus shifts away from Wu, to highlight the motivations of Wei and Shu. She is definatly one of the more popular characters with her having the most figures made of her followed by Ryomu and Hakafu a distant third.

    Oh hell no....

    Not trying to derail the subject, but this thread might be the place to go with this... I was watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and I think the stage hands might have inserted a facehugger prop into the tunnel with all the bugs were Willie Scott freaks out. Its right around the 00:57:38 to 43 mark of the dvd. Its half in shadow crawling up the wall behind her head. I might just be seeing things, but that is one big bug.

    Not exactly where I was going with that, but okay.... El Santo or just Santo is a masked pro wrestler from Mexico who is considered by many the greatest of all luche libre. He wrestled for almost 5 decades, never took his mask off, and made over 50 terrible sci-fi/horror films like this one that appeared on MST3K... http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santo_vs._las_Mujeres_Vampiro
  17. renegadeleader1
    So can I nominate the various "El Santo" movies or are they off limits?

    No that was a review of Sukiyaki Western Django which Quentin Tarantino makes a cameo. The Django character is treated in a way a bit like Sherlock Holmes, as in everyone and their mother has done their own takes on him. Technically there are only two "official" films the original Django and a sequel that was made in the 80s. Yet there are supposedly over a hundred something other films made using the character by other studios or directors. Some even stared the same actor. The main characters mecha in Burst Angel is even named after him.

    Yes he did have a hole in chest in Alien. Several characters comment on his ribs being bent outwards.

    Because of this I actually went back to play Tomb Raider Legend. The Anniversary, Legend, and Underworld trilogy are some of the best adventure games I have ever played. Right up there with the only good Indiana Jones game that's not a point and click adventure The Emperor's Tomb. Underworld was a true unappreciated classic. Crystal Dynamics can take their time and finishing polishing the game off I have nothing but faith in them after picking up where Core Designs failed. The only thing that bothers me is its a prequel/new origin story instead of a sequel tying up the loose end of Amanda and her "pet" not to mention the doppleganger.

    Which is even more humorous when you take in the fact that they used stock footage from Black Hawk Down in the flashback scene later on.

    My bad. I went back and checked, and the novel hinted it was their homeworld. Turns out it was only a colony world populated mostly by Elites. Its been a long time since I read it.
  23. renegadeleader1
    Well if this storyline is going where I think its going... basically in one of the novels that's considered canon we nuked the Elites homeworld using a boobytrapped bomb. Thanks to the Covenant among other things the Arbiter wasn't aware of this when he allied with the UNSC. So yeah the Elites can't be too happy about it.

    You gotta admit 2040 Nene was all types of awesome though. Her mischivious wolf in sheep's clothing thing was a lot better than the originials "I'm a weak, imcompetent girly girl watch me whine and fall down!"

    From what I have been able to find looking around online about the names is Kanu Unchou is the Japanese translation of the original Chinese characters. Somethings get lost/changed in translation and it ends up with a different pronounciation. Now about Ikki Tousen, its mostly a fan-service heavy show with many panty shots/exploding clothes/exposed breasts. For the most part it only loosely follows the three kingdoms with the characters essentially imbued with the spirits of the three kingdom era and doomed to repeat their fates. Much of the series deals with how to break free of their destinies. Also there is almost no plot(just random fights and fanservice) in the first season except for about the final 3-4 episodes dealing with Dong Zhuo(totaku?) and his demise. The second season is much better and also more darker, grittier and bloody. It basically follows Cao Cao's rise to power up to the battle of chi-bi, and how plans are made to break the vicious cycle. I haven't seen the third season onwards yet, but I hear it heads off in its own direction away from Three Kingdoms lore. I actually picked up Banner II when I got Crest. I'm tempted to just crack it open and watch, but I don't want to spoil anything so I'll wait for the first Banner series.
