    Looks like a Robocop vs. The Cylons movie.

    "It's just a flesh woond" - *ka-PLOW* His south african accent really tops it off.

    More Yuki from C3

    This should push more people to put on their man pants and paint the models themselves. So it's actually part of a secret plan...

    I thinks it's Blomkamp's personal experience that there are places on this earth that defy all subtlety. Without the juxtaposition of these places, the over-the-top gated community and the not-so-over-the-top latino ghetto, the film would have been just another action flick. A feeling of uneasiness comes from the realization that the SF gloss over is actually quite thin, that, in many aspects, the world of Elysium is closer than we might want. And compared to "District 9" the level of filth is dialed down a few notches. The L.A. of Elysium is not a bad place to live (it still has some form of law enforcement, working opportunities and hospitals) compared to what you see in real world based movies like "Cidade de Deus" or "Gomorra", where civilization has deteriorated completely.

    I can't believe how people complain about a lack of subtlety in this movie when we have cardboard comic book villains and heroes in any other SF movie.

    Got the art book today and it's full of the coolest robot & spaceship designs and some Syd Mead to top it off. Highly recommended, even if you didn't like the movie that much.

    If you talk about the Su-34, it may not be as sexy as the Flankers, but it's still sexy as hell.

    The RG GP-01s (and the Gundam 3.0) are the best things Bandai has released. The inner leg frames are mechanical wonders, and I like the overall design and the level of details they put in there.

    fxguide takes an extensive look at the special effects, including some practical miniature work. http://www.fxguide.com/featured/elysium-a-practical-miniature-and-digital-fx-odyssey/ I want a model of the Oryx gunship.

    Just saw it yesterday and was far too entertained to care about the plot holes. The movie never lets you down with suspense or awesome designs. I've been waiting for this kind of movie since reading "Neuromancer" in the 80s, I really hope the studios realize that there is a demand for SF beyond the comic book superhero stuff. Copley as Kruger really steals the show with his portrayal of a sick guy you really don't want to run into. His personal coup d'état was a well-timed surprise. I liked how, besides the very obvious, the social commentary was played in the subtext - the terror of bureaucracy, accountants in the MOD, remote-control killings, "don't breathe on me". Feast your eyes on some of the movie's designs: http://www.artofben.com/ELYSIUM http://skul4aface.blogspot.co.nz/ Oh and don't forget to purchase your state-of-the-art Chemrail gun while supplies last: http://www.wetanz.com/tst-chemrail-dual-stage-linear-motor-rifle-prop-replica/

    Can't beat the subtle phallic allusion:

    Well, in the comics industry, characters are rebooted and artists changed in mid-series since day one, so this is what to expect when comics and movies merge into mainstream entertainment.

    Clip the leg frame from the runners and watch the joints move in awe. You'll build the kit in no time.

    There's another new set: Yamato Mecha Collection Special Box No pics yet.

    So the DDG 110 and the DWG 262 are the Mekacore additions to the Deusla II and the ship set III, i was hoping they would make it into the 1/72 line. But the ship set with Meltria, the sub and the fighters sounds good.

    I'm still waiting for somebody to make a wall-mounted display with the launch arm. Jefuemons hangar is impressive, but it's suicide in terms of display estate.

    BTW if you feel the need for some time-traveling, you can still run Syndicate on a current computer: http://www.gog.com/game/syndicate

    If it eases your conscience, G-Sytems product are not officially licensed, too.

    Well, if I'm the only tennis player in a company of golfers, I wouldn't call tennis my "guilty pleasure". The internal "confilct" is the key, just others saying "I don't think so" doesn't induce guilt.

    Shaun was a letdown in the second half, but I love Hot Fuzz. This one looks good in the trailer.
  24. electric indigo
    I beg to differ. A "guilty pleasure" is something you can't help to enjoy despite seeing yourself as having evolved into "higher" moral or aesthetic standards. This is first and foremost independent from your company.
