  1. I can finally put my DVD copy to rest...
  2. 1. VF-1, doesn't matter which model, the heads and color/stripe schemes are insignificant to me. 2. YF-21/VF-22, it's fighter mode is unbelievable 3. VB-6, who doesn't like huge machines that can fly AND transform? That's all for me...
  3. They should include the far less popular 90's Gatchaman in that collection. It'd be nice to see Jun's naked body during transformation in hi-def...
  4. I'm on page 4 of the book and it's already better than the entire movie...
  5. Lol the first one was cross-eyed? Guess I'll be picking this one up, then...
  6. Freaking psychopath. Why can't these perverts live like the rest of us as we lovingly covet our Yamato Girl PVC figures in the privacy of our dark bedrooms?
  7. I think everyone's bagging on the recent giant-scale lion release with the 3.75" pilots and "key gimmicks."
  8. I. Rank All of the Superman Movies from Best to Worst II. Best and Worst Categories Best Superman: Man of Steel Worst Superman: Superman 4, followed closely by Superman 3 Best Clark Kent: Brandon Roush/Routh/Ruth/Rush, Return of Superman Worst Clark Kent: I can't answer this one Best Lois Lane: Amy Adams, Man of Steel Worst Lois Lane: Margot Kidder, Superman 1-4 Best Villain: Mike Shannon/G-Zod, Man of Steel Worst Villain: Gene Hackman/Lex Luther
  9. I got the emotional side of it as well; they spent quite a bit of time showing Clark Kent as a completely lost and ostracized individual who just wanted to be accepted and use himself for good but couldn't because of what he was, what he represented. Agreed, I guess it was a missed opportunity. My thinking is that since they're just establishing Superman in this movie maybe they can chase down ideas like that one in the next film.
  10. Meh, I'll watch it. I had always wondered about a follow-up to the first one. If I could give M7 a shot (which I couldn't even get through 5 episodes of despite being tied to a chair Clockwork Orange style) then anything gets a chance, IMO...
  11. Just got back from a midnight showing. Ultimately, it had its moments but in the end it was a let-down. Then again, for the last few years I've been hoping for a sequel to 28 Weeks Later, and this was it!
  12. You bring up a great point about the deconstructionist's point of view. Fewer people care about truth, justice and the "American" way these days, so to keep Superman aligned with those ideals may have alienated the "deconstructionists" point of view, which consequently why MOS had such a dark, gritty, grey feel to it IMO. As for the Kryptonian technology being unable to save them, that's a contradiction that's bothered me since the original. I haven't seen that movie in ages but I remember an advanced race of superbeing that for "some reason" weren't able to save their own lives. The "Lois thing" has always bothered me, whether we're talking about Superman past or present. I mean, I think if I had such abilities, with the world and the galaxy as my playground to literally do with as I see fit I suspect the last thing I would do is fall for a girl but; I would spend all of that free time moving mountains or flying around the planet or something.........again, Superman is just a fantasy of human beings so a romance is inevitable anyway. I actually didn't think Cavill was too buff-he looked.....healthy to me, and not overly developed, but that's just my opinion, I guess. Much like other stories that are being told with numerous volumes or sequels in mind, like this one, I typically find that first editions like MOS are somewhat lacking but rectify themselves in the future. The only movies I can think of off hand that unfortunately didn't get better with age is Ironman, Blade and.......Fast and Furious...
  13. Totally fap-worthy...
  14. I always thought Superman Returns was a respectable movie, and I appreciate it as a "different" interpretation of Superman/Clark Kent that's more in tune with the classic Christopher Reeves performance....
  15. I agree with the time-line jumping and the destruction porn, which doesn't really hold true to Superman's desire to save every human life; in the original Superman 2 isn't that why he retreated from Zod and his friends in the city? I thought the product placement was ridiculous with IHOP and 7/11 but I didn't let it get to me. Some people claimed the relationship between Clark and Lois felt rushed, forced and not deep enough but what were they expecting to see them do? Dinner, a movie, some hand holding and then penetration? I dunno, I liked it, but again MOS appealed to me on a personal level...
  16. I'm a little out of the toy thing. What does this particular version boast that its predecessors do not?
  17. In regards to the story, I found myself agreeing with Zod's intentions. He sought to save what was left of the Kryptonian race even though, as he puts it, he should have done it years ago, implying that he allowed decadent and disconnected rulers to bring about the ruin of their race. Some people accused 'Shannon of being a bug-eyed, screaming maniac during his portrayal of Zod, and I respectfully disagree. He was forceful and determined, and I did not detect an ounce of bug-eyed megalomania at all. If you want bug-eyed megalomania, check out Raul Julia in the last performance of his life as M. Bison in Street Fighter; talk about ridiculous...
  18. Thanks for that Wes! Yamato girls and ice cream....SO HOT!!!!1111
  19. AAARRGGHHH!!!! Hot chicks eating ice cream! AAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!
