    I'm fine with them tossing the red underwear, but of the set photos of the costume, I'd really wish they would have slapped on a belt to break up the top from the bottom and so we don't have the unitard look.

    Yep, sounds like a short circuit.

    You're probably not. I won't want to see modern tech retroactively inserted into older shows either.

    Reminds me of The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special hosted by Morgan Spurlock. One of the series producer responds to critics who say the show isn't funny anymore. And his retort is "Maybe you've changed." Isn't it? Yah. Look what it does to the fans of the bastardized franchise of Macross.

    Is Sony still worth buying? I'm not sure I can answer that. In this very competitive electronics market that we have, does Sony still have the same value, price/performance, features that a competitor may have? Not looking at the Playstation brand, can the same be said about the rest of their products? Is there a equal product that has similar or better features, price/performance factor, etc.?

    Bay says, "Blame Paramount for the name change." (ShootfortheEdit forums).

    Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just postin' the link. Scoop: Michael Bay’s Alien Turtles Apparently Aren’t Teenagers Either (BleedingCool.com)

    Gundam Wiki is probably jumping the gun. He probably is, but I don't recall them mentioning Asemu's abilities yet. Considering AGE-2's focus on manueverability and Asemu's knack for gun kata and dual weapons, I'd love it if the producers threw in a "What? He destroyed X mobile suits in Y minutes?" (where Y<X).

    Oh jeez... Here we go again with "let's make make-believe more real". But the story is telling...showing us what they look like. If didn't know what they looked like, what's the point of having robots transforming into planes then? So even showing us on screen isn't realistic enough? We have to close our eyes, imagine it, even as it's being shown on screen? M'kay. And what details are we familiar with? And isn't putting realism into unrealistic entertainment, taking the fun out of unrealistic entertainment? Why have an imaginary world if I can't imagine things existing in it that don't exist in the real world. If I wanted to make my imaginary world more realistic, I'd probably end up living in the real world 'cuz I would be slapped with lawsuits, unimaginable paperwork, etc., just to get the grant money to fund this 1.2 km long space vessel.

    Surprisingly, I thought this week's episode wasn't too bad. Compared to last week's that is.

    I always get a cocaine-like kick when someone says "Let's make unrealistic entertainment more...real".

    Price-wise, ink. Quality-consistency, laser.

    Here's Eastman's opinion about this debacle (Facebook) And here's Laird's clarification about his blog post concerning this debacle (Blogspot)

    Macs have, traditionally (and still), focused on graphics, colors, and fonts. Because they (traditionally) controlled their own hardware, hence, software drivers, they could really push the limits on the hardware. The Mac OS graphics APIs had much more care and maturing than other OSs which had to code for the general case and leaving the software drivers to the manufacturers. Eventually, Microsoft and hardware companies caught up, but by that time, Mac became synonimous with graphical design and has remained the "standard" for it. Apple has played more with the graphics APIs than others so you do have better color accuracy, crisper fonts, blah blah blah, etc.. That being said, a normal person will not be able to tell the difference and most people probably won't be able to tell the difference. My opinion is as long as the laptop has dedicated graphics, you'll be fine with any laptop. And since you have a larger monitor already, even better. Just don't do any design work on a puny 15" or 17" laptop screen.

    Probably meant Delta Plus.

    Oh well. Killed by $$$ spent in post-production. At least they'll air the pilot on TV, at some point. Unfortunately if it costs that much just for the pilot, I really don't see how a web-series would be feasible unless it was covered from head-to-toe in ads.

    Michael Bay Signs $50M Deal To frakk Up 'ThunderCats' (The Onion) First The Onion, now you. I swear you people are tempting Fate...

    Well, Lili Bordan plays a character who use to work for Graystone Industries. That enough of a tie-in? They can always bring in Esai Morales with old-person makeup for those times "Husker" goes on shore-leave...

    My condolences to his family.

    It's suppose to be a 2-hour backdoor pilot. We'll see how it does.

    For prosperity, I shall post the pitch made at 2012 Nickeloden Upfront on March 14, 2012 at the Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York: (Yeah, Dailymotion doesn't work with media tags.)Robbie Rist (VA of Michelangelo in the original movies) also posted his response earlier today... I'll let you gents read the TMZ version of it since I can't find the letter. EX-NINJA TURTLES ACTOR, Michael Bay is 'Sodomizing' the TMNT Legacy Yeah, I'm beyond caring....
  23. azrael
    Apparently people do watch giants robots spinning and more explosions and jumping and more explosions and camera shake and more explosions and slow pans and more explosions and Victoria Secret models playing lead actress' roles and more explosions and Bay-slopsions and more explosions... Yeah, it hasn't been green-lit and I feel like my un-eaten lunch is coming back up... BTW: Michael Bay's response to TMNT fandom's call for his head on a pike
  24. azrael
    Yes, those Yammies and Bandai kits don't sell themselves. (Honestly, if they did Gundam Evolve-type shorts for Macross toys, I'd be all over those.)

    I sense a lack of google-fu and wiki-fu. Let me save you the trouble. Ubuntu is one of many Linux OS distributions. Unlike Microsoft's Windows or Apple's Mac OS, where a single company is resonpsible for releasing an OS, Linux is a free and open-source (meaning the source code, is avaliable on the webs). Since the code is available for free, many individuals and groups have created their own modifications or distribution of the Linux OS. They all use the same basic core Linux OS, but each have their own modifications (hardware and software support, software packages, user interface, etc.). So no, it's not an operating system, but a modified version of an operating system.
