  1. The "tech" shown in the original Tron was so unreal it didn't matter what it was supposed to be - it was simply an action movie with a computer theme. Even trying to make real world sense of it is an exercise in futility. As for The Last Starfighter. The computer graphics are unwatchably horrible now - and since it has a paper thin plot there is no need to watch it for that either. This *IS* one movie that screams out for a remake though.
  2. I have to admit I am confused. Is all the animation going to be the style of the clips at the end? Shortly after the 25 they showed some computer animated stuff but I think that was from GitS 2.0.
  3. Double checked, it DOES have an English dub and it is not bad. You can also watch in Japanese with English subtitles. Not many extras, a VFX documentary and some trailers and advertising spots. The copy I bought was fairly cheap (Amazon) so well worth it even without extras.
  4. I thought it was dubbed and subbed and been surprised since I heard the Kodai actor did not want to be dubbed over - I'll have to check again, I've been known to remember things that are not true.
  5. It was OK till the actors showed up. When they started talking it was all over.
  6. Q's best line is "Ah Worf, EAT any good books lately?"
  7. No, but the idea of a zombie working at the morgue is pretty good.
  8. I think I read somewhere that in modern buildings a door like above is not considered safe - in the event of a fire people panic and push on both sides and so nobody can get out. You still see doors like that but on either side will be regular doors as well.
  9. Make it go. That episode had my friend point out that although in the 24th century most forms of prejudice were dealt with it appears that TV writers in the 20th were still quite capable of making sure the stupid, vicious, and ugly aliens were also fat.
  10. Babies make noise, noise is death. I don't think the show has made any reference to it. My guess is that infants are a pain in the butt to work with on a TV show - which is why Judith is off screen so much.
  11. Back to 12 Monkeys. Anyone else watching it? I really like the characters (especially the scientist) and the plot twists so far. To say anything more gives away too much really.
  12. Yes. That and only advertising in places where hardcore anime fans would visit did them in.
  13. > The style might be a bit familiar too, but thats because 1978 and 1982 are not that far apart. Here it is: It might only be 4 years but it is FAR FAR FAR apart!!! (Disco, blech!)
  14. The blurays from Japan work fine in US BD players. The SB 2199 episodes are practically the same and were running about half the price of the Yamato releases - but they do not match up since they are 4 episodes each and the first Yamato disk is only 2 episodes. If the current prices are about the same then go for the Yamato named ones.
  15. Yes they were but even when they did not like a film *I* knew if I would like it from watching their review.
  16. I have not seen a good movie review since the days of Siskel and Ebert, if that makes me an old fart then so be it.
  17. We don't know how it ends for the characters in the show.
  18. The fact there are two Ghostbusters reboots in the works is worse. It feels like an attempt to just put out anything.
  19. I have to disagree with Terri Hatcher, she had no film presence before her Bond role, and none after. TV is still where has been (and never will be) film stars go when they lose their box office appeal.
  20. With those kinds of reviews I will be waiting for the DVD to come out on Netflix. Just not going to pay theater prices for a possible dud.
