Some more age comparisons... Shelagh Fraser, who played Aunt Beru, was 54 at the time of filming. Phil Brown, who played Uncle Owen, was 60. As seen in Episode III, Bonnie Piesse (Beru) was 21, and Joel Edgerton (Owen) was 30. Being that they are 19 years between III and IV, you are looking at 40 years and 49 years, respectively. That's where the real age discrepancy is. Even with the reasonable aging effects of the environment, that's pushing it.

Man, I dumped those model mag wallpapers I did a few years back.

That would be my assumption as well.

GUNBUSTER GUNBUSTER GUNBUSTER!!!

Ok, something interesting that fits in around where this thread left off... According to the official chronology, Obi Wan was 57 at the time of his death. Alec Guinness was 62 at the time of the filming of the original Star Wars. Not as much of a stretch as we thought it was.

But sadly at R2 prices as well, it seems. I get the feeling they aren't going to last if they don't get a clue about the US market really quick. 365035[/snapback] I'll pay the price for a top line Gunbuster DVD release. Its easily my favorite anime.

I have no idea what that means. 365010[/snapback] Bandai Visual (not to be confused with the U.S. arm Bandai Entertainment) has recently started up a new U.S. division for high end special edition anime releases titled "Honeamise." Their first scheduled release is a box with the first 2 Patlabor movies given an R2 quality treatment. 365015[/snapback] Daaaaaamn, son!

I have no idea what that means.

I had a bunch of feelings about this episode that got lost during the site downtime. At this time, I'm pretty much just feeling that I liked it cause it did something that was severely lacking, and that was seeing what was going on in the fleet itself. We need more of this.

Anything animated by Anime Friend.

Actually, my impression from the podcast that the Pegasus was certainly going to be staying around. He purposefully wants to go against what is expected.

Just catching up on the past two commentary podcasts... seems the Pegasus is a permanent member of the "rag tag fleet". Moore wanted to go against what was expected (the Pegasus being around for only a few episodes) and typical. Didn't sound like he has any plans for it other than it is now a mainstay of the new show.

I thought Amazon would have honour it. But even so, it's very likely they would give some rebate points as compensation. 362827[/snapback] No, they don't have to. And no, they won't. Its Amazon.com policy, we had pretty much no chance of getting it at that price.

Its official, all orders are being cancelled.

No. See the post at the top of the page.

Just checked the site, its been pulled from sale.

Amazon hit by pricing error Customers who thought they'd secured a TV for a bargain price have been left disappointed, after Amazon pulled the mispriced offer From this past October. Funny thing is, if Amazon were a real, physical store, they'd have to honor it.

I don't think this is a blow out sale, its showing the list price as $9.98. Someone screwed up, or there is a glitch in the system.

Hell, I even ordered it, and I'm not a fan of the series.

No, only that they've admitted to making mistakes.

Xenogears

Three of the greatest games ever made...

One thing that has gotten me while reading the blogs or listening to the podcasts... the motivations and plotlines can and do change from one script to the next, and they have on several occasions not known where they were going with a particular idea. Also, the budget has had a definite effect on the entire show, and not just "more space battles". And they are also pretty open about feeling that they've made some mistakes with the show.

Just curious... is it actually possible to "spoil" a movie like Underworld Evolution?
