  1. The sole reason why I'm holding out on buying this on Blu. I refuse to double dip, and they will give me what I want!
  2. Then don't. I don't judge all of YouTube based on one random Voltron review.
  3. Vikander won for the wrong film. Also, this was a solid choice for Best Visual Effects. What they did in this film was seamless. Of course, Ex Machina should have been in the running for Best Picture instead of Bridge of Spies or Room (so should have Sicario). And Vikander should have been nominated for this performance ahead of her role in The Danish Girl.
  4. It didn't win Best Picture because WB didn't support it early on. Probably the same reason why Miller lost out on Best Director. Interesting fact: Fury Road tied for the most Oscar wins without snagging Best Director or Picture. What film did it tie? Star Wars.
  5. Episode four was good. Three was somewhat amusing in a goofy way. The rest were bad, and it ends on a cliffhanger. I would not watch it again.
  6. It's 2016, not 1996. No one medium has a monopoly on credible reviews.
  7. I don't disagree with that. At all, really. I wish they'd do something different with the franchise outside of love triangles and "music saves the day." I was speaking more of the excusing away of the magical girl idol group in Delta by saying the Macross franchise has established the technologies in past productions that make what we're seeing possible. Or that past character did something similar once, so a new one taking that to an extreme is on par with what's come before. I would think in a post-Frontier environment that they could take some chances to try something different with the franchise, instead of what is a safe and easy sell to kids.
  8. I just looked that thread up, and there wasn't an atmosphere of negativity going on in it at all. And I said a lot more than that.
  9. So, I've finished watching this mini-season of the X-Files, and well, it's not good. I actually won't watch the inevitable second mini-season. This show had it run years ago, and it's time to move on. Also, Christ Carter shouldn't be allowed to write for TV ever again. He's a horrible screenwriter.
  10. You'd have to have a lot larger selection of voices in that podcast to get a better feel for how most people have reacted to Delta, one way or the other. I can't let something that sprang up in this episode go without commenting on it: just because something very different or odd in a new Macross production has been done in some small way before in an previous production does not mean the new production fits in perfectly with the rest. Macross hasn't "always been like this," whatever "this" happens to be at the time. And those who take issue with these differences aren't in denial.
  11. Me too. Outside of episode 4, I have no clue what they were trying to accomplish here. I don't think they knew, either.
  12. No reason not to go with Vangelis again.
  13. The X-Files crew is in talks with FOX to do a second season. And I ask: why? Outside of episode 4, I don't know WTF they are doing with this mini-series, and I'm not sure they do either.
  14. Ray Stevenson's Punisher is the closest they've come to getting it right. It just needed a little something more.
  15. Thomas Jane never looked like Frank Caste, and I thought his Punisher move was flat out wrong in just about every conceivable way. If not for that short film and Jane's passion for the character, I'd be flabbergasted as to why anyone has held any affection for him in the role. Jon Bernthal looks straight out of a John Romita Jr Punisher book, and that's just gold.
  16. Nothing new here... or is there? The four voices and faces we hear may all play a part in Bran's visions. We know Ned does for sure. Catelynn and Robb suggest the reveal of the long-suspected Grand Northern Conspiracy, which, of course, leads to Jon.
