  1. Sounds like it was a prank. I'll believe it when I see it. edit - every time I see the picture of the Mule at the top of this page it makes me sad...
  2. That was also a quote from Richard Hatch - his is about as realistic as someone named MEMO is with a certain other franchise. "Not dead yet" for him means he had a dream about it a week ago.
  3. Sorry guys, you are just getting old - and thus not liking the new stuff because the old stuff is "more believable", even when you know it was not believable. (don't get upset, I freely admit to being an old coot on any number of other threads around here) The new transformer designs are the only things from the new movies that did not bother me. The first Tim Burton Bate Mobile was fine, the second looked like it was patterned off of doilies hanging off a lamp shade. Others like the second bat mobile more - neither was more "realistic" in any way. Same for ED-209, simply a matter of taste either way.
  4. In reality, no humonoid armored vehicle is going to work, including our beloved older ones. A humonoid form is simply too ineffcient for purposes or making it armored, it maximizes the area needing armored while minimizing depth. The new ED-209 may be silly for other reasons, but I think this one is a case of looking at the past with rose tinted spectacles.
  5. From what I saw the games were quite good, but they would make TERRIBLE, Hackneyed, movie plots.
  6. Even more then video, audio has no appeal for me. I have low-end TVs (one of which is 720p no less) and whatever speakers they come with is what I have...
  7. Same here, if I have a DVD I'm not going to go out and buy a BD of the same thing just to get a "better picture". Usually I can't tell the difference. If the original had massive problems, an example is the cleanup done for Metroplis (Fritz Lang's that is).
  8. Here is a nube question for everyone. How is Mika Doi pronounced? I have it in my head that it is "doy", but what little I now know of Japanese it probably is "Doe - e". More then likely I'm totally wrong either way...
  9. I have no idea what the law is, but you were showing films without doing any alterations of any kind. The "new" DYRL, even without the edits, was a remastered work - that may have been just enough to push it over the edge.
  10. I hope they keep the mr robo moves in. During the original the "robo" movements became more fluid as he re-connected with his humanity. (I figure everyone has watched the original by now...)
  11. > A spoiler for people who didn't know Darth Vader is Luk He is his Father's, Uncles, Brother's, Trash Man's, Sister's... Oh Yeah - loved the clip!
  12. You have to watch "Monster a Go Go". The only action scene was filmed in pitch black, the only thing we could see was a couple of reflections off of white helmets (I think, very hard to remember). This also featured a phone call where someone said "Ring ring" for the phone ringer rather then just having someone call the phone at the right time, there is cheap and then there is CHEAP! This one is only watchable in MST3K form of course.
  13. I kinda like the one in blue myself, something about that pose... Putting my pre-order for the second Blu-ray in soon.
  14. I think that is missing my point, or making it, not sure which. I'm not sure which is worse, changing the character's background so they could cast Mr. Mayonaise or getting rid of the armor to allow them more face shots of their pretty cast...
  15. > In the west. maybe... You know what I mean, studios put the films they expect to do very poorly in the September release slot. To go along with that they get a pathetic advertising budget too. There have been a handful of late summer or early fall releases that broke out of the trap, but not many.
  16. I have not read it yet so I don't know what the difference would be, but the mayor was there in the original show as well (unless my memory is more faulty then normal)
  17. Nothing is stopping them from doing so, not even you know who can stop that. Selling them in the USA would be tricky. No, I'm not holding my breath...
  18. You can tell it never had much of a chance to begin with, September is death for movie releases.
  19. I missed the first one in theaters, but this is a must see so far... (but my lord, the comments section is worse then usual...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sED6FRXIHJc
  20. Which is good, since it is a stupid idea! But since it is Yamato, and the original had it, I will forgive them. (especially stupid in Yamato, where a single round from anything will kill anything - except Yamato of course)
  21. Finished watching the first two, the show certainly has promise but could also fall down a deep chasm of mediocrity if they are not careful. They are walking a fine line between acceptable for younger viewers while still keeping the show gritty.
  22. So, someone is stalking Analyzer while Analyzer is stalking Yuki? I like it.
