  1. 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/
  2. 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.
  3. Preview from the October issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine
  4. Clip the leg frame from the runners and watch the joints move in awe. You'll build the kit in no time.
  5. There's another new set: Yamato Mecha Collection Special Box No pics yet.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. If it eases your conscience, G-Sytems product are not officially licensed, too.
  10. 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.
  11. Shaun was a letdown in the second half, but I love Hot Fuzz. This one looks good in the trailer.
  12. 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.
  13. ...and it looks good, too. SpaceX Grasshopper von jurvetson auf Flickr
  14. This proves that you don't need american designers to mess up a perfect mecha design.
  15. The Draken and Viggen are indisputable beautiful and powerful design classics. The Rafale is the best looking of the modern 4th gen. fighters IMO.
  16. Michael Green is no longer listed at IMDB as a writer, instead director Josh Trank is given writing credits, so maybe there is some hope.
  17. Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class) is producing, with Josh Trank (Chronicle) as providing the script and directing, which is at least promising. But IMDB already lists Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) for script revisions, so maybe we're already heading for another disaster. edit: drad, I missed the other thread...
  18. The Gripen is still the most boring 4th gen designs in the air. It's the equivalent of a Volkswagen Golf. The Eurofighter is boring, too, but it still has that edge of ugliness.
  19. Dobber, this is the Gun Platform (or Mobile Fortress) from the 2004 Appleseed movie. Watch it dishing out mayhem and destruction here: If you read the manga, don't bother to watch the rest of the movie... I started painting the details and installed clear Wave eyes:
