Because its more fun to say that Avatar stole from Dances with Wolves, Pocahontas, Ferngully, Last Samurai, Lawrence Of Arabia, etc... all of which are original.

Pete's expectations pretty much sums up everyone's that hasn't seen it... either it's the greatest film ever or it straight out sucks. I don't think it's the greatest film ever, but it's the most fun I've had in a long time, and I'm not saying that because of the mind blowing FX but because the plot, like snowblind and Ivan said were decent enough not to make it a mindless summer dumbathon. Predictable and cliche but told well and exciting, for me at least. The visuals are not just amazing because of the quality of realism but it's really presented in an awe inspriring way.

Overdrive service cancelled until further notice...

Overdrive service cancelled until further notice... there I said it. I'm pretty sure you can confirm Jenius. I know we talk to the same people.

Wow. That 1/60 GBP looks way better. Though I would prefer to display the 1/48 due to it's size, I was never satisfied with the way it looked. I might have to put it away now.

That's what I thought too... Its weird... the casting is good, so good that it almost looks like a SNL parody... trailer makes me want to check it out though.

ok... back the the blue people!!! lol.

that really is me...

No, and this is just a guess, but I think they actually did it... synching is a way of communicating... I mean just because they didn't show blue schlong in a rated PG-13 movie doesn't mean it wasn't there.

I can... look... ---> "NO."

I think this type of CG will be good for SOME iconic fictitious characters like Superman, where you never have to worry about the actor getting old. Just design the perfect supes and worry about story first. Having a world already created will make it cheaper too, everytime they make a movie. At the same time, you can't use it for James Bond. I think it would work but people wouldnt accept it because the stunts have to feel like he's in mortal danger... just IMHO.

Please transfer all discussions to this thread. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=31383

kit?

In japanese terms yes... but in American terms anime refers to Japanese cartoons just like manga refers to Japanese Comic books. You don't go into the anime or manga sections of stores to look for The Hulk or Iron man. It's just another word that gets a whole new meaning when used by another culture. Bootleg on the other hand is more of an insult term used in this forum. I'm pretty sure by now everyone knows about how all these shows came to the US. But it refers to how the US company refuses to credit the Japanese creators and give themselves credit for creating "a whole new cartoon" out of three seperate ones.

Wow... this thread is a must read... I'm gonna start all over and read from the beginning. I want to start making the 1/48 kits and have to get ready for them.

Another brilliant addition to the discussion... go find more stats and make brilliant observations... Well it would be impossible for scorpions to get that big without the support of water which explains why crusta... wait a minute... I detect sarcasm...

At first I thought this thread was useless but the I realized abot 95% of people here get their stuff thru the mail... thinking about merging the HLJ/OD thread over to consolidate all "mail ordering" discussion.

that last shot almost looks like the cover.

there were already pics of Phalanx pre-production from Yamato... I can't believe it's taking this long!

lol Pete... they are bigger not smaller. Plus what's a pit crew doing on the Macross...

haha! Nice pics!

Lol. What load of crock. It's a case of kettle meet pot. You have nothing better to do but insult people for liking the movie and so when I turn it around I knew you would play victim. But you barely even discuss the movie. You talk more about your "near credentials". And then when you can't think of anything to say you tell me tonswallow my tongue. There's where your maturity stands.

The guy never has a point, his reply is always... " I see what your saying but here's how smart I am by spouting nothing that has to do with anything..." Maybe watching the movie would help and by that I don't mean sitting on your computer while your downloaded video is running as you surf the web. Whatever man... I'm done with the guy... keep posting your "impressive" knowledge about film, fauna and flora, maybe insult me a little here and there... you're pointless.

yeah, that's exactly what I meant... maybe they should teach you how to read in IT land. You're obviously gonna let your arguments live in out of context land, better get back to discussing the movie, I suggest watching it first.

James Cameron and his brother invented breathing apparatus for the Abbys... so people can talk to each other. I'm pretty sure my brain is attached to my tongue somehow... lol.
