    Lol, pass...

    The original was just a better film. One of my favorite examples of how the original triumphed over its remake was the situation with the kid who was discovered to have a tracking device oh him: you saw a poignant moment where it could be argued that the group was becoming more war-like and "evil" as the Communist invaders they were fighting against. In the remake, it was more like "oh well, one of our guys got hit with a tracking device-let's just leave him out here." The original movie was much more dramatic and had greater emotional impact than the remake, which is just a wasted opportunity IMO...

    I know right? For that amount of time I'd rather go see the movie myself and form my own opinion...

    Thanks for the news. I'm definitely interested in a Niimi figure. I'd be all over Makoto but I HATE her hairdo...

    OOOooo yeah...Forgot about that one...

    I just didn't want the WMG to become the "Form blazing sword!" of Yamato 2199, but thinking about it again, if they follow the original Yamato story then we all know the drill missile rape is coming up and that'll be the last opportunity to use that weapon until (if) they reach Iscandar.

    Bleh. Instead of using the wave gun to get out of every mess, not unlike Star Trek 2's miracle blood, why can't they just have Yuki sing some songs over a broadcast to stun the Gamilas into defeat or something; I don't think anyone's ever tried that before...

    So it's what-$60? Shipping's probably another $15 or so. Hmm...Well, it's better than the prices on ebay but like others here I can only hope a stateside release becomes a reality...

    What the hell? What about the other volumes?

    Wow really? Is Yuki one of the hottest figures to hit the market recently or what? Edit: Gotta give thanks again to MW member Major Focker for letting me know that HLJ got a restock on her a few weeks ago that sold out in minutes; I've got my Yuki!

    I'm sure Initial D has quite a few offerings for you. I only have one 1:24 scale AE-86 Panda, Tak's first car, but it's pretty cool...

    GOOD. I would love to be wrong about the matter. Christ man, that's the most intense preview yet. Lol. I remember in the original when the drill missile appeared in front of the Yamato, they panned over and zoomed in on Yuki who was on her knees and just flabbergasted by the appearance of the drill missile-gotta love the phalic stuff...

    Lol, to each their own but Excelsior was hideous. Galaxy class all the way!

    I'm hoping for that too, but I think someone here said it wasn't likely to happen...

    Agreed. In this movie Kirk doesn't learn a damn thing about the burdens and responsibilities of everyone's lives under his command, because he sacrifices himself instead of having to finally deal with death in the form of his best friend. Quinto's "Khan" just sucked. His voice cracked and wavered as he yelled, and I just don't like a Spock that's more emotional than his........"girlfriend." I want to see how they're going to deal with the miracle blood-thing; like someone has said earlier, no one ever has to die in their stories again...

    It is a fun little car, and like the Cobalt SS and other cars like it, it will take on established performance cars like Mustangs and Camaros and give them a surprising run...

    Wouldn't that make them Misato's melons?
  23. myk
    You didn't see it yet? Or is this a rhetorical question?
  24. myk
    Yes she was, too bad we didn't see any more of her. And, no disrespect intended but what the hell was up with the 'Ops officer though? Lol, good point. Maybe Robocop was hoping that once the Enterprise was stranded in Klingon space they would've been destroyed before they had a chance to see the torpedoes were altered. Sorta' reminded me of the scene in ROTS when Anakin walked in on Palpatine while he was studying blueprints of the Death Star...

    I can't say I agree about Monica being a "new" character. Her appearance in Fast 5 was just long enough to introduce the Lety angle; why go through the trouble of bringing back Eva Mendez if they were merely going to introduce a "new" character? Bringing back the same actress says to me they're bringing back Monica Fuentes from '2 Fast. I wrote off Brian's return as a law-man as either bad story telling, or a defining feature of his character, in that he's a man of honor and continues to be a law-man because law enforcement allows him to deal out honor and justice as he sees fit. One of the many themes that this series heavy-handedlty feeds its audience is honor, duty, obligation, etc. In all reality, it's probably just bad story telling, and I regard the Tej's garage continuity error the same way. Edit: Actually, I'll attribute the continuity issue to something else: they didn't know they were going to do any movies after '2 Fast so that's why that movie ended the way it did. When they decided to pick up the franchise again, they just said to hell with it, continuity issues be damned, so in that regard '2 Fast would be just an anomaly; these movies are largely disposable anyway. Thanks for the youtube links btw. My complaints aside I still love this franchise. Hell maybe I'll do up my Charger like the Day-clona they used in Fast 6...
