Dang, I was hoping in white it wouldn't come off as so shiny.
-
Rick did the same thing with Shane, Sophia and several other prison inmates already.
-
It's already deviated several times from the comics and the writers of the show have said while they hit the main beats for fan service they don't want it to follow the comics or else nothing will be a surprise.
-
What ends up happening in the confrontation in the Comic? I can't imagine things going well for Rick in the show. The Governor is twisted but he's calm, calculating and is well armed. Rick is losing his marbles fast and doesn't have any weapons. Unless some super-animal instinct kicks in he's on the losing side of the the odds by a wide margin.

So I've figured this whole Hollywood thing out. When I was a kid, sixth-grade era, I thought it was cool to take these different middle-ages/fantasy/whatever stories and inject my "super awesome-hip-modern" attitude into them. Then I grew up. I realized they were bad ideas and really stupid stories. Apparently (I'm now 32) there's a whole slew of sixth-grade level intellectual writers in Hollywood (probably now all around 32) who had the same idea but never moved on AND convinced some other jack-ass to give them a ton of money to write crap I rejected for being drivel when I was still in middle-school.

And Graham made some vague comments about the 0D still being a possibility.

I'll agree, a good portion is pretty bad. But you even admitted there's some joy to be found and I would argue that means it isn't all garbage. Despite the writing in the X-Wing novels the idea is brilliant and the execution was a lot of fun. That's, IMO, what a live action Star Wars television show should be personally. And I think that the Zahn novels right after the original trilogy have a lot of good ideas. The state of the galaxy after a war of that magnitude and a charismatic, genius leader in Thrawn who isn't at all a Jedi but still a huge threat. Things don't have to be word-for-word recreations they just need to borrow the good ideas and I believe there are many.
-
Agreed. They could easily stamp this one out right now. Though I think they should update a few of the bits on it, like the arms, which aren't nearly as poseable as they could be today.

Skyfall, the next James Bond 007 Film
Mommar replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So you guys who have already seen it think it's pretty good, huh? That's good to hear. It's not out until a week from Friday in the states. I can't wait to see it. -
Wow, is that a toy/model? The only thing that gives it away is the tires/landing gear.
-
Every last word? There's some good stuff in there too. It's not all garbage.
-
Mostly because the only "official" fast packs were already released for the VF-25.
-
I think we're veering WAY off topic. That being said, I only ever liked the Gerwalk/Battroid on the 2SS.
-
What's the other plastic looking wing sitting beneath it?
-
Minus the wings that's precisely how I have my waiting 0A posed, minus tail fins with missiles and all.
-
Mr. K is the head guy at Yamato, not Kawamori.
-
There's a lot of us (most who have posted) here who think this could be bad. How bad do you think it's going to get? Poor directing? Bad acting? Painfully cheesy/forced dialog? Lame/silly characters and situations that don't fit? Stupid story-lines? Inconsistencies?
-
If anything is has a better chance of happening now then when Lucas was in charge.
-
I don't get it. The prequels sucked. And it's also reported that George Lucas will still stay on as a Creative Director. So the worlds will still be built with his direction. It's just the scripts will be written by (hopefully) talented people and directed by (hopefully) talented people... but when it was under Lucas there wasn't any hope of that at all. So there's a chance it gets better. Though, in this day and age, why bother with movies? Long form television has been gaining traction and shows like Battlestar have shown you can have compelling sci-fi with pretty damn good production values, and that was on Sci-Fi. If the writing/acting was good and a major network picked it up you could have a REALLY spectacular show.

The farther down the obscure path they travel the more expensive these bad-boys are going to be as well though.
-
I was just re-reading this. Battle 7 is a cool idea but... SDFM version of SDF-1 first. Mac 7 version of VF-14 I'd buy. The M3 version I wouldn't do.
-
Nah, I'm cancelling my second VF-4. I like my new game consoles.
-
When it was spread out between October and December it was okay. As a HUGE lump sum in addition to Christmas spending not so much. Good thing I'm not married with kids or it would be a no go... i just realized I pre-ordered a WiiU too. Good Lord, I have to cancel something there.
-
I was going to say the directions they gave you aren't necessarily true. Everybody knows California gets earthquakes so they sell items to prepare for it. I highly doubt I could walk into Home Depot in Albuquerque and pick some of that up.
-
Yeah, except for the 171 armor parts, 17D with Super Packs and 19P as well... it's not going to feel great at all.
