    On that note, that's what I appreciated about the latest Superman movie as there was nothing to be changed from the 80's films; they're great in their own right, but refreshing it as they did with the latest movie to make it relevant and appeal to a younger audience was a good move, IMO...

    Amen brother, well said...

    Whether TDR crushes Avengers or not is irrelevant; they are movies with two entirely different tones and can't be readily compared to one another; apples to oranges if you ask me. What gets me about Ironman is this: isn't ARC reactor power/technology supposed to be limitless? I haven't read any of it; what little comics I did read involved mostly X-men back in the late 80's; I didn't get into Avengers because I thought they looked stupid, lol...

    I seriously mean no disprespect but we need to remember that these are COMIC BOOK characters brought to life, certainly not Hamlet or some other great intellectual work. There are good guys, bad guys, a conflict, a battle, tight spandex, boobs, a resolution and toy sales to follow afterwards. What sort of ingenuity and innovation do you think can be culled from that formula? I would estimate that people who criticize movies like Avengers for being too simple, stupid and cliche retreat to the Dark Knight and possibly Watchmen for needed brevity and seriousness, however despite how much I admire those films, I can't help but laught at those movies; why? Even though I watch those movies regularly I am also of the opinion that they take themselves far too seriously. But then again, ultimately it's a matter of style and I don't fault either type of movies as they're attempting to connect with us on different levels. I would also venture to say that when you have that many front line, signature personalities clumped together in a movie like Avengers that any sort of gravity or weight that an individual character could share with us is invariably lost. Again, I'm well aware that Avengers is hardly stimulation for the higher functions of the brain and doesn't bring anything revolutionary to the table. My primary enjoyment came from watching characters that used to be on crude paper have now been brought to life before my eyes and it's thoroughly enjoyable. Just because the automobile hasn't changed much theoretically over the last 100 years doesn't mean you can't enjoy it, and just because Avengers is merely another superstar rollercoaster ride doesn't mean you can't enjoy that too...

    I saw it at 3:15 am, lol. I particularly enjoyed the battles between the Avengers themselves; I'd list them here but don't want to ruin it for anyone. Now this is just my opinion, but RDJ/Stark stole this movie in terms of personality and energy. Whenever he talked or moved I couldn't wait to see what would happen next...

    Was I too focused on watching the Avengers movie? I really hope I didn't see JCVD on the wrong side of the law...

    Just saw the preview before Avengers. Someone wake up Toby please!

    Haven't had this much fun in a movie since...well I can't remember when. Yes, the story is so simple it's stupid and I hate Samuel Jackson but being able to watch fantastic characters that I used to dream about as a kid, walking, talking, bickering, battling and strutting their stuff as a team on a screen in front of my face is a dream come true. The humor of the movie also gave it a charm that, in my opinion, elevates it above the eye-rolling criticism that was spewing out of what you could call the "true" comic book story fanbois in the audience. For once, in a very long time, I walked out of a movie wondering of the day that I could bring it home. Oh, and that VERY last scene in the movie is hilarious; that is SO going to be my desktop wallpaper, LOLz...

    Personally I don't find much fault in that; to me that would be like criticizing car companies for continuing to manufacture cars with wheels, doors and stuff. Sure the formula has been around for ages but truly creative and inspring individuals can take that cliched formula and keep enough twists and nuances in it to keep us entertained. Well, at least the dull, glass-eyed masses like me anyway...

    Oh, those wacky Chinese...

    I like the flying aircraft carrier in Yukikaze, Broke-Back-Air Force, better...

    Hmm...Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I ever seriously considered a Sony product for anything electronic...

    I needed a quick anime fix that featured blazing fast, steel slinging mecha battles, beautiful women being sexually assaulted, degraded, and a story so weak and lacking in substance that the mind wouldn't be spurred into thinking: I've been watching Mazinkaiser SKL again...

    What? So "fashion" is a factor in consideration for new technologies? Great!

    Such a beautiful, awe-inspiring plane; it's too saddening for me to even watch the eventual failure of this aircraft in the video. Thanks for posting anyway, oh and GoooooOOOOO Hellcat! Edit: Man those raw chickens are MURDER!
  16. myk
    Exactly. Looks like someone's been watching Mad Max again, lol...

    Volume 1's listed as a tentative preorder? As in, they're not sure if they're going to get more?

    Ok thanks guys, so superglue won't melt anything? I like the putty idea; what sort of epoxy are we talking about?

    Damn damn DAMN! My favorite statue of all time: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEXY-JUN-statue-rare-item-/120880675805?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c250cbbdd#ht_500wt_1413 took a dive off of a shelf. Luckily, the only damage is a couple of chips on the hair, but now the front part of her "hair" is cracked and could come off. What sort of goop would I use to fix this? I'm assuming that some glues would melt this figure or at least damage the paint? I don't even know what she's made of! Any advice you guys can give would be very helpful, thanks in advance...

    Custom JokeMachine v2.0

    In that case looks like prices have held rather steady over the years; I paid about $80 for a MIB one back in '08..

    And way better looking than the Nostromo...

    Seems to me that the rip off of 'Plus is well under way. Someone must've remembered the description of the 'Plus movie on the back of the box, where they described 'Plus as the "Top Gun" of anime, or something like that...

    I wonder if the Matchbox released versions hold a different value? Regardless, my '1S Joke is a personal favorite...
