well, maybe someone can dig up an old early sketch we can compare it to as well.

whatever, the first movie was meh, I don't give a rats ass if they make a sequel, a prequel, a reboot, whatever. if it looks fun, I'll give it a watch.

hah, go read over the debates regarding quality versus style as it relates to the animation in macross frontier. We're nitpicking, loudmouthed freaks over everything.

like jenny craig before and after pics.

damn you! you just ruined bleach for me! haha, nah, bleach ruined bleach for me.

with the VF-0, graham says that Yamato deduced it was some interaction between the rubber friction pads/rings and the particular formula of ABS plastic making the plastic brittle and weak. Which makes sense from my experience, the the VF-0s had problems with the shoulders but not the bicep swivels since they didn't have the rubber o-rings there while the VF-0a had problems with both cuz it had the rubber inserts at both the shoulder and the bicep swivel joints. so it wasn't anything you did, the material was going to fail sooner or later.

there's supposed to be free weekly updates to the avatars, for now... so maybe you'll get your business attire.

it's always easier to build something with hands than in giant space gloves.

there's just one fan-convention, one convention with many faces.

bunch of fat 30 somethings with their faces scrunched up in a wince while their arms flail around in big sloppy ham fist windmills while they walk slowly at each other in the sweat stained costumes?

it would have been nice if they had transformed dino mode properly... that hip placement is giving me DX flashbacks. and, heh heh, he looks like he's wearing diapers.

which is rendered completely null by the fact that in the ST universe gravity doesn't work the same way it does in ours... IE, it's a reproducible energy field of some sort... one that humanity has already mastered.

meh, most everything Trek has ever done was in the name of looking cool. utilitarian and functional has never been part of the Trek design aesthetic.

it's probably just so they can have that shot of kirk looking out and seeing the enterprise.

yes, but in star trek, instead of giving you mystical powers they just make your nose runny.

will there be treckies in full "real" TOS uniforms protesting outside theaters waving their original phaser props at people and going "pew-pew" at the people standing in line wearing the new TOS uniforms?

it's when the great star trek fanboy civil war breaks out

well, paramount considered the franchise dead, the only reason why they did this was because abrams made it a condition of him signing with the studio.

same here, I installed fable 2 and now I have 3 gigs left...

tried the install thing with fable 2... nice. Load times are still long but just not having to listen to that loud as hell drive spin around is wondrous.

yay, playing with NXE now. amazing how quickly it installed... I like the new avatars.

right. I don't think it's reboot in the way that batman begins is a reboot... but again... like superman returns. Where they pick and choose what they want to stay faithful to but at the same time allow themselves to not be 100% burdened by what has gone on before. They might give themselves an "in show" reason why there's changes, but at the end of it all, we're left with something slightly new.

just as well, even if bandai did make their own vf-11, no doubt the armor would be some sort of web exclusive anyways.

yeah, we've been talking about the old boy remake in the remake thread, this in addition to the charlize theron remake of Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. There's plenty of good Japanese films, their avant garde and more idiosyncratic films like Taste of Tea are very good... it's just that their horror films and cheese action/gore films get more press and fanboy attention.

"Sure, but it might appeal to the Japanophiles... " is the offensive part.
